Here are my thoughts:

Loren - I hope I am in your 20

Pompous douche made me spit laugh. Not that I have ever met JC, but just the phrase is funny.

Loren,

Congrats on a very timely video! Glad to see someone in the blogosphere works on the weekend.

I see the Jason and Scoble’s conversation as well, useless. In reality the majority of us don’t and won’t have their problems. It’s like over hearing a conversation with the Hiltons and the Gates complaining they can’t spend all of their money before they die.

So in reality Jason and Scobles are in their own little world. Neither of them currently works a normal job inside a main stream corporation. So what they want from Facebook is totally different then what the 99% of the users want from their systems.

Example: I think one of the things the rest us want from a system like Facebook or blogging is uninterupted access.

The best thing about the blogosphere is that it is mainly distributed. Anyone can start one and anyone can own their own domain. Which makes it almost impossible and incredible effort to shut down.

Facebook on the otherhand puts everyone (media and consumer) under one walled garden. This design makes is soooo easy for anyone to disrupt or shut the whole domain and all Facebook conversations down.

How? Alreadt we are hearing about goverments, companies, etc. adding Facebook to their content filtering systems black lists. Content filtering vendors are already categorizing all of these social neteworks in to one nice group to make denial of access behind their firewall one little check box.

One flick of a switch, one simple check box in a corporate firewall and all of Facebook and other social networks are unaccessible from anyone’s corporate desktop and notebook. And you know what, there is not a thing that an A-lister can do about it.

I am sure the mass media will sooon jump on the waste of time at work with social network meme soon and you will see the Facebook and others accessiblity start to fall like a brick.

So in the end Jason’s gut is right right but he just doesn’t see the reasons from the same filter we do.

Thanks for listening and taking the time to create the your great Web 2.0 entertainment!

Hey Loren, you look a little tired, take a vacation. Or more coffee or something. Then when you get bored, go over to 8apps.com and see the next thing. Because that’s what we are on, baby, a treadmill of web fashion. Peace.

Love when Michelle said, “I want a fat blog.” I flashed on her at a luncheonette ordering, something you’d eat with nice big chocolate malt.

Dude-the malts are missed only so much. What is missed and one reason watching you helps is that unique “New Yawk” experience of my youth that never fully fades-for which I’m very happy.

Now if you want to get on NY pizza-zomg how I miss that stuff.

Jason added me to his Facebook friends last week. I thought I was special. Now I realize I was just one more reason he got sick.
