More Davos namedropping…Bono and Mike Arrington

by on January 24, 2008

I’m sitting next to Mike Arrington in the YouTube booth. Who showed up? Bono. Of course I live streamed that, but Mike went further and wrote a blog post about it. I love how Bono started out: “I’m a rock star … sorta.” Hey, if he isn’t a rock star, who is?

  • Mr Hewson didn't even say hi....in Killiney, south Dublin years ago a neighbor caught the millionaire Bono stealing his early morning delivery of fresh milk.
  • The YouTube video that Bono recorded has a good shot of you and the "equipment" you're using to record this.

    Good thing you don't have "size envy", LOL. :-P
  • WOW...my jaw just dropped. Very cool Robert. What was he like?
  • Jerry
    Bono? I thought he died in a skiing accident years ago? Boy! Cher is going to very surprised to hear that!
  • Hey, Scoble! You just appeared on BBC World in a segment on YouTube -- they showed a YouTube window with the Bono interview, and you're very clearly behind him, shooting all the while.

    Robert . . . YOU are so good at getting in the right line up with important speculations . . . I am just wondering, "How much better YOUR work would be "if" YOU were to get a real camera"?

    All that shaking, scene bumping, and more, it takes away from YOUR work . . . YOU are so good.

  • I appear on stage at every metaverse pitch I do with Bono. It is just a picture of the U2inSL tribute band but everyone, young and old, knows who Bono is. It gets a laugh most times too.
    Still you cant beat teh real thing. Nice one!
    I love the quote too, very like the dont you know who I am izzard sketch with vader
  • Kinda fun, watching "The Scobleizer" videoing a REAL rock star ;-)
  • I like his rock star exit. No hanging around for chit chat. By the way Robert, was your chat with Arrington off the record? His blog post about you planning to show ads on this site was kind of lame, especially if the conversation was off the record. Or is nothing off the record these days?

    @12. That's true. Scoble confirmed that earlier. Fast Company prettyuch owns him now.
