Loic’s new video company and Milan

He has his mom’s looks! Congratulations.

Ohhhh! Milan is SO CUTE!! I bet the three of you are having a ball with him. Enjoy.

Thank goodness he looks like his mother…

I was listening to hear if Milan has the Scoble laugh…

I’m having dinner with Scott McNealy next week in NYC, has he met Milan yet?

Loic lemeur aurait il réussi a convaincre des américains de perdre de l’argent pour qu’il s’enrichisse ? Les fonds us ne regardent pas l’historique des gens en Europe ?

robert -

would love to share with you zannel’s new service, instant media messaging, which allows users to multi-media (vids, pics, text) micro-blog their lives and start real-time conversations around their updates on mobile or web. for disclosure, zannel, as is podtech, is a usvp-backed company. here is a recent article.

Very cool episode. Wonderful baby, and with twittergrams! how ahead of her time. Go Go Robert and co.!

@french : I’m very curious learning more about this story. Feel free to drop me an email via my blog or here : miniotdr@yahoo.com

Milan is adorable. You can tell he is going to be one hell of a bright kid. Look at his face “Hey, what’s going on?” LOL

Scoble,

I’m glad you’re having fun, but every other post you are expounding on “killer stuff”. None of this stuff is killer stuff. None of it. If it were, I’d be using it.

So far, I’m not impressed with anything happening on the Web. I’m more impressed with apps.

Being “always on” and “always connected” is not whats it cracked up to be. Exactly what are you or Patrick getting out of this other than being always on and always connected? Is your salary improving? Adding years to your life? Improving your marriage? What, exactly, is the ACTUAL POINT of being always online? To communicate with other people who also are always online? What fun is that.

Wanna have fun with technology? Hell, you’d have more fun with ham radio. Even the astronauts are hams, and you can actually talk with them when they are in space. Beats IMing with some dork over how much they paid for Apple’s overpriced phone.

Radio is still a good part of the future. Wireless, after all, is nothing but radio. Something to think about…

Wreck: actually, yes, my salary has gone up since I got online. My marriage is way better too, thanks for asking. Got a cute new kid here. But really what happened is my friends and the people I hang out with are a lot more fun. What’s more is we keep in touch now, even when we aren’t together.

Adam, I’d love to know more and have you on my show. Send me email again. robertscoble@hotmail.com — I’ll look for it.

@14 Not sure how biology works in your world, but I know of no way of having a kid by being on line.

Scoble,

I’m sure your salary has gone up. From what I hear and from people I’ve spoken with that have worked at MS, they are notoriously low paying compared other IT companies.

Anyway, you’ve not really said anything about why you’re online 24/7. So you can chat with your friends? What does this accomplish that a phone call cannot do. So you can see them over a web cam. OK. Big deal.

I have times when I never want to talk with people, don’t want to see them, hear from them, even give them the opportunity to contact me.

I have a funny feeling that one day you will somehow regret making your entire life a fishbowl. Life is meant to be shared, but there has to be a modicum of privacy along with that life.

Scoble, I suggest you try what Wil Wheaton did… take your family on a vacation and stay off the grid for one week. Take a mobile phone, but only use it for emergency use. Stay at a hotel or B&B that doesn’t offer the Internet. No TV. Read the newspaper in the AM over your coffee. Talk with your family. No extraneous distraction. I’ll bet your wife would thank you immensely for the undivided attention.

Robert – you look very happy. Does your face hurt from smiling so much? (I know from experience).

Congratulations to you and Maryam.

BTW – There is a great new Japanese/sushi restaurant out in Overlake in Bellevue (close to MS) called Koi http://www.KoiJR.com . Do you think you could mention it to your pals in Redmond?

Awesome sushi and other delicacies for those who are not into raw fish. If nothing else, just stop by the place to see their massive indoor pond with over $50k worth of Koi ..

BTW – we will be holding an Biznik/Eastside Business Networking Happy Hour at Koi http://www.KoiJr.com on Tuesday the 9th from 4-8pm. A great opportunity to meet some local business people and enjoy really good sushi.

Robert,
first of all congratulations for your baby! I’m writing just to tell you and Loic Lemeur that “Video Twitter”… exists already Its name is Hictu and has been presented the last june. Take a look at http://blog.hictu.com/?p=33

Here’s a more recent review by Mashable: http://mashable.com/2007/09/13/hictu-upgrade/

To be frank I know Zannel too, and I have to say it’s a very well thought and realized service!

Best,
Giacomo

We launched a “Video twitter”, Hictu, months ago… have you had the time to check it out ? We had a lot of press, but maybe you missed it… Please take a look: http://www.hictu.com
