Another comment: Video blogging is bad. Bad because I can't do anything with it, even if I wanted to. It's bad because you can't grep through video, you can't parse video using any normal data tools like sed or awk, and it's just a bad idea.You better hope that you have your information as text, because no one knows what the world is going to be like tomorrow. Text is the only way to go for archiving information.

I thought this was just some random guy using scobleizer as his handle here. But that annoying "Heheh" confirmed its you.Don't justify your "geek" moniker to anyone. You are not a geek. I am not sure whether any self respecting geek would even call him/herself a geek. You are a geek to business suits who think Web 2.0 is the latest "trend" and where the money is.Face it, as on the website by the same name, you are just a "Bastard of the blogs".

Just like the poster above me said, you're a geek to the business suits. You're not a geek for the sake of being a geek. You're only in it for the "new hot trends". I look at how I keep evolving and learning, and then I go read your blog, and it's the same crap over and over.Real computer geeks don't spend much time, if any, talking about AJAX, Web 2.0, Wikis, or RSS feeds. We spend our time doing things like coding in C, writing scripts to automate important processes, learning protocols, reading RFC documents, looking at code, testing systems for exploits, patching security vulnerabilities.You know, REAL issues that matter to REAL people. AJAX doesn't mean anything to me. Neither does Web 2.0 or any of that BS. Real geeks don't have agendas. We do the things we do because we LOVE it, not because there's a business opportunity with it. That just happens to be a side-effect of the topics and issues we study.

@ scobleCypherXero doesn't think all geeks are "coders." He isn't even a coder. I know he likes to think of himself as one, but in reality he isn't.I'm pretty sure he thinks the only geeks are "hackers."The only reason I'm writing this, is because he is giving the coders of the world a bad name. (and to some degree, so are you)

To all the people that dont think that web 2.0 can be geeky, go back to working on your high tech mainframes.

Rock on Scoble. I think you are a geek. Hell I know you are a geek. Why?Because my definition of geek is someone who is truly passionate and spends his/her time doing things he/she love!So the questions you must ask yourself is:Am I passionate about what I do? Do I spend way to much time on doing things I love? Yes?Well, then, in my eyes, you are truly a geek.Rock on Scoble!Cause I keep watching!Andr?
