Loren .. you rock.. Been following your videos for few days and i’m french :=) Love your vids .. You’re one of the few blogs out there who actually is making me laugh .. Your videos make me consider that 90% of the reading of other blogs is a total loss of time.. but bear with me .. im french
you’re totally right about facebook. SN is a joke.
take me : i’m originaly french (keep reading), and moved to hawaii (maui) 7 years ago. got my facebook account, like 58 millions other idiots. then some old friends from France started to contact me, because it’s hype over there to belong to a website in english, before even they launch a french version. starting to chat with some old bitches i used to date like 10 years ago. even to my 2 best friends i know for 20 years and that i left behind. but now what ?… i mean, what’s the point of SN ? supposedly it’s great for expats like me to keep contact with their past. but guess what ? this is a joke. first, i don’t wanna hear my old friends have all 2 children, succeeded in life, and i’m a broke divorced single. and i mean, once you chatted and exchanged stories of what you’ve done for the last 10 years, i repeat : now what ? you can’t meet the folks. by now you probably realized you don’t have that much in common with those guys from college. trust me, SN is only valuable for people you know that live NEXT to you. but guess what : you could grab your fucking phone or IM them. And how about email ? i mean, come on … poking people ? grow up, idiots. SN is a joke and FB will be history in less than 2 years when people will start realizing the vacuity of the concept.
Great. I need to work on my “image” for the new year I think. I’ve got a lot of resolutions I need to make happen this year and I’m going to. BTW You better invite me back to mesh this year, and I’m not sharing the stage. I don’t need the Keynote or something fancy like that, but something, maybe the Psychology of Social Media.
“I find it very hopeful to believe that there’s a human side to all this ’social media bull-shit’ we still don’t understand.”
Innovation is tough stuff, that’s why most have jobs.
We can slam FaceBook, Ning and all the other wannabe socnets but my hats off to all those (including Loic) that dive in the deep end and attempt to make a go of it.
That includes you too Loren. You’re going places in ‘08… keep up the good work (fight).
My friend,
please upload all your videos on your server or at least on youtube.com.
Why? Seesmic sux big time. My broadband internet connection is waiting like forever for seesmic. Bad peering, bad servers I don’t give a fu penny.
Blip? Stinks! they have lots of problems playing in rss reader (google). I don’t give a penny about them also.
I do give a penny and spend a lot of time on your videos so please… no.. wait… PLEASE! throw those trashy services away or esle I will start a video war with you!

Genius spot. Had to stop what I was doing to completely focus on you. You’re that good.
By MsInformation on Dec 29, 2007
Why thank you MsInformation. Very clever name indeed. I’ll have to keep an eye on you.

I hate predictions. Damn funny though.
By Aaron on Dec 29, 2007
Loren, great predictions — but for some reason the skullcap made you look like an extra from One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest

By Loren Feldman on Dec 29, 2007
How about we shorten it to “The Psycho of Social Media”
By Mathew Ingram on Dec 29, 2007
You missed one Loren. In 2008 1938 Media will finally create it’s very own favicon!
By LD on Dec 30, 2007
Loren Feldman will continue to be lebeled as innovative for simply telling a group of self important dopey cunts to think for themselves.
By Dick on Dec 30, 2007
Dick,
Something kinda cool about that. We’re gonna have laughs this year.
By Loren Feldman on Dec 30, 2007
Loren
Something VERY cool about learning from art. Well, I mean, what better way to learn than from feeling, right?
I find it very hopeful to believe that there’s a human side to all this ’social media bull-shit’ we still don’t understand.
Yeah, we’re going to have some laughs this year.
By Dick on Dec 30, 2007

“I find it very hopeful to believe that there’s a human side to all this ’social media bull-shit’ we still don’t understand.”
me too.
By Loren Feldman on Dec 30, 2007
the human side is pretty simple : people are alone and in seek of their 15 minutes of fame. i mean, who in real life has 200 friends ? come on …

By head banger on Dec 30, 2007
Same to ya, Tiga.
At least I’m not the only one around here who has a temper. Best if we all get along, eh?;-)
In the spirit of the season, I’d like to extend my personal apology to Jvon, if he should happen to read this, for excoriating him.;-)
Life is too short. Go 1938!
By Vince Williams on Dec 30, 2007
Speaking of the human face of web 2.0, there are tech media types following my twitterless Twitter.
WTF?
By Jecklin on Dec 30, 2007
Jecklin, a twiterless twitter? oh my.
happy new year!
Loren, your son is going to hear your potty mouth preserved in perpetuity
By Antje Wilsch on Dec 30, 2007
Antje - Best wishes to you as well.
By Loren Feldman on Dec 30, 2007
I’ve made a bowl of popcorn so I have something to snack on while I watch the fireworks.
Bring it, Loren!
By MsInformation on Dec 30, 2007
You are hilarious and I hope right about some of these things, especially the last one.
May the new year treat you and yours well!
I hope 1938 Media has a great coming year. It’s been thought provoking, informative and above all entertaining.
Best to you.
By Boo on Dec 31, 2007
Kick ass list. I’m still laughing at it all.
LOVE the last point. Hope people take that to heart.
By C.C. Chapman on Dec 31, 2007
Right on, as always Loren. Happy New Year you crazy man.
By Yue on Dec 31, 2007
I think you’re right about Facebook, but not about Twitter.
By S. P. Gass on Dec 31, 2007
Yue,
Thanks for being my friend. I will not stop until the world knows what I already do. You are a true talent,and the world needs to know this.
By Loren Feldman on Dec 31, 2007
I am sure these will all be true. Tomorrow I will accuratly predict everything that will happen in 2007.
By Warner Carter on Dec 31, 2007
