Tons of Origamisms over on Memeorandum.
Kirsten Osolind had something that caught my eye, though. She asks if Origami is going to do well with women?
Oh, Kirsten, you haven’t seen the final product. I haven’t yet, either. (I’m seeing it on Monday). It’s going to be shown to public for the first time at the CeBit expo in Hannover, Germany next week. Oh, and over on Channel 9. 
There’s no way this thing is going to be able to meet the expectations of the hype being placed on it.
Let’s talk at the end of next week and see what you think then.
Man, you get some gosh durn awful comments from geek guys. I, for one, think you rule, Robert. You unabashedly dance naked. You were published by John Wiley & Sons (swoon!). You link to kinda cautious chicks.
Thanks for your link love and inspirational shout-out. A interesting throw-back to Francis Church’s “Yes, Virginia, There is a Santa Claus.”
p.s. note to douglas: the “cat’s outtta the bag” microsoft origami ad didn’t make me meow or roar.

Little amuses me more than seeing a bunch of arrogant techies (such as all of you) make a bunch of fools of themselves by hypothesizing about something as to which they are absolutely and 100% clueless (such as the Origami).

Dear Alex P.:
Hi! Thought I’d point out: I’m just another “marketing and P.R. girl.” The fact that you lumped me in with all the other “arrogant techies” has me laughing my little frozen bootie off in Chicago. Hey mom – look! I’ve finally MADE something of myself in this world!!!!
Note to all you hot geek guys: why can’t y’all be kinder to each other? Like the guys on Battlestar Galactica.

[...] Lately there has been a lot of news sites scrambling to get information on the secretive device by Microsoft called Origami. The excitement that people have over this device is absolutely amazing, and people are making it sound as revolutionary as the iPod. However, even Robert Scoble has said “There’s no way this thing is going to be able to meet the expectations of the hype being placed on it.” [...]
[...] Auf der CeBIT soll das Gerät, sofern es denn tatsächlich ein konkretes Gerät ist und nicht nur die Vision einer neuen Geräteklasse, vorgestellt werden, heißt es. Dann wissen wir – vielleicht – mehr. [...]
[...] Um executivo e blogueiro da Microsoft, Richard Scoble, teceu comentários sobre o Origami, dizendo que se tratava de um portátil de baixo custo desenvolvido por Otto Berkes, que tinha trabalhado no projeto do console de games Xbox. Mas depois de sua ‘confissão involuntária’, em outro post, avisava aos seus leitores: esperem para ver. (É comum você encontrar mensagem ‘Sorry, no posts matched your criteria‘ em razão do sucesso que o blog alcançou nos últimos dias.) [...]
