Scoble slams Googlephone — the 100-word version [Robert Scoble]
November 13th, 2007 at 11:20 amSource:Valleywag
The change came quietly. Few noticed, at first. But yesterday morning, Google turned against its long-held motto and became evil. The appearance of the sign? On every stock ticker.
And even better? The ad Google served up alongside its devilish stock price:
We always suspected that Google was evil, and Googlers were all about the money. But even the company’s own search engine and ad-targeting system confirm it now.

You think you have it rough, little cube farmer? Try working at Valleywag. We ragged on egoblogger Robert Scoble when he became a fan of himself so it’s only fair that we do the same to the Valleywag — my boss, Owen Thomas. I hate Facebook spammers, and he’s become one. Next thing you know he’ll be buying some bulldogs and filming himself driving down the highway. *shudder* I quit. I’m going to go work for Boutin at Wired or WSJ or wherever he’s slacking off today.
At least Mr. Valleywag is self-aware enough to know that he’s a shameless Facetard. The worst part? Owen only has one fan.

I’m sorry, but the Scoble coverage sucks without me. It’s been two weeks since I stopped posting and Fake Steve is already reduced to recycling this photo from January. I punched it up in Photoshop — can’t you guys even do that for yourselves? Anyway, our boy slammed Google’s phone plans Monday. Scoble’s 100 percent right, but 1,251 words too long. I fixed that.
I’m watching the Android video. Man, I thought my videos were boring, this one takes the cake. This stuff is still vaporware. No phones are available with it. I don’t know of a single developer who has had his/her hands on Android. At Microsoft I learned DO NOT TRUST THINGS THAT THEY WON’T SHOW ME WORKING. The UI looks confused. Too many metaphors. One reason the iPhone does so well is because the UI is fairly consistent. Fun, even.
Here’s the obligatory Scobleizer brag:
Last week I was in the Open Social press conference. Everyone else in the room worked for a big-name media outlet. Business Week. Wall Street Journal. Los Angeles Times. CNET. Barrons. etc. etc. Even TechCrunch was relegated to a phone-based seat and wasn’t in the room.
Robert, congrats on getting bumped up to MSM status by Google PR. I always said you were a genius. Too bad the rest of the MacArthur committee didn’t agree with me.
