I just deleted a post…

Sometimes I screw up. My readers let me know within minutes. I pulled a post. I’m sorry.

Looks like my writings are getting my readers to drink. Hmmm. I wish I had an excuse of being under the influence.

    Ron M, stop acting like a child.
    Do you react like this when someone makes a false anti-microsoft comment, or are the rules different then? Scoble’s admitted he made a mistake and deleted the post (which is more than most bloggers would do), why can’t you just accept that? I’m sure your perfect in everyway and would never make a such a mistake but robert is obviously just a human.

    Ah, my NetNewsWire caches posts for 7 days, so I have it archived locally.
    In answer to the interesting question there ‘how would I find soccer blogs to show UEFA?’:

    Soccer is a tricky one, as it is a US word for what Europe calls ‘football’.
    That notwithstanding,

    http://technorati.com/blogs/soccer

    is a decent place to start, as is

    http://technorati.com/blogs/football

    if you are prepared to weed out the ones talking about that odd ‘rugby with body armour’ game played on this continent

    However, I’d go with:

    http://technorati.com/search/uefa

    and an appropriate language filter.

    Well, you’ve implied many times that Yahoo doesn’t have any ad service for bloggers. Asked me for an example, I provided two (one of which is Jeremy Zs blog.) but you never replied back. I don’t think that really counts as admitting you made a mistake as much as it showed that you didn’t have all the information yet.

    The Yahoo ad service is still in beta. I applied, but didn’t hear ANYTHING from them. Not even a “You successfully clicked our ‘submit’ button email”. So maybe I did something wrong during the submission.

    So, as of the time of this comment, the only one of the “big three” that doesn’t have a way to place ads on a blog is…..

    Micro-”a day late and a dollar short”-soft.

    Let me ammend that. Microsoft DOES put ads on blogs, MSN Spaces blogs.

    But the bloggers don’t see a dime of that.

    I’m looking forward to the click through rate price wars of 2006. :)

  7. [...] Microsoft’s Chief Blogger Robert Scoble pulled a anti-Google post from his blog yesterday. I’m reprinting it here (thanks to the Bloglines cache) for you to peruse. Google employees push sites that only work with one browser By scobleizer on Blog Stuff [...]

    Scobles – you jus broke your own blog manifesto rule set.

    There is the good/bad about deleting posts. The good thing is that can honesty say “mea culpa” and pull the post. The flip side is that it’s cached someplace in blogsphere and it will get reposted !!

    Take a break. Over the last couple of wk’s seems that “disruptive technologies” has impaired your strength on clarity of thought and action.

    I would imagine that the ‘readers’ that pointed out his mistake where MSN’s old webmaster reminding him of the days when they used to change MSN’s code to break Netscape every time Netscape fixed their browser to render it.
