			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Guy Kawasaki is a pretty influential guy and when he says &#8220;Twitter is a weapon,&#8221; <a href="http://www.fastcompany.tv/video/guy-kawasaki-gives-a-reality-check">in an interview I did with him</a> my ears perk up.</p>
<p>But he got more outrageous from there. He took on TechCrunch&#8217;s Mike Arrington with a challenge. Guy would rather give up his cell phone for a week than give up Twitter for a week.</p>
<p>Oh, Guy said a few other fun things. Which is what you&#8217;d expect from the first technology evangelist (a role he held at Apple back in the early 1980s).</p>
<p>Not to mention that he started a cool social media directory, <a href="http://www.alltop.com">AllTop</a>, and promptly put his own name at the top of <a href="http://egos.alltop.com/">the ego page</a>. Oh, he&#8217;s not just outrageous about Twitter. In reality we were there to discuss his new book, <a href="http://www.guykawasaki.com/books/index.shtml">Reality Check: the Irrreverent Guide to Outsmarting, Outmanaging, and Outmarketing Your Competition</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m so sold on Twitter.&#8221;(1 minute in)</p>
<p>&#8220;I think Twitter is, arguably, the most powerful branding mechanism since television.&#8221; (2 minutes in)</p>
<p>The essence of a good pitch (3 minutes in)</p>
<p>&#8220;I would sell to Toyota,&#8221; when I asked him what he&#8217;d do about GM (4 minutes in)</p>
<p>Twitter should be bailed out by the government (4:45 in)</p>
<p>&#8220;The thing that drives your competition crazy the most is when you are successfull and they are not.&#8221; (7 minutes in)</p>
<p>&#8220;Is your boss an asshole?&#8221; (10 minutes in). Leads to a fun discussion about Steve Jobs. Funny how that happens!</p>
<p>Why your company can&#8217;t be successful like Apple or Google just buy spending money on goodies (14 minutes in)</p>
<p>&#8220;For me, Twitter is more important than a cell phone.&#8221; (16 minutes in)</p>
<p>&#8220;Twitter is a weapon.&#8221; (17 minutes in)</p>
<p>Thanks Guy for inviting me over for a fun conversation. Now back to Twitter. Follow Guy @<a href="http://www.twitter.com/guykawasaki">guykawasaki </a>and follow me @<a href="http://www.twitter.com/scobleizer">scobleizer</a>.</p>
<p>UPDATE: over on <a href="http://www.fastcompany.tv">FastCompanyTV</a> this video is getting more comments than any other in recent memory, which brings on this outrageous Scoble rule: get a famous Twitterer to say outrageous things about Twitter and you&#8217;ll get more comments on your blog.</p>
