I find the concept of using a content editor on top of a SCM as a CMS very intriguing. Thanks for sharing - Can anyone comment on how this compares to http://prose.io/ ?
Does anyone know if the soft keeps track of resubmissions? I really treated the form as a scratchpad this time around, not sure if that's good or bad though.
He's in the circle(s) of 500,000 people and when he posts a video it has 250 views after 9 hours... how can his click throughs to the video rate be so low.
Interesting observation. I'm looking at the stats right now & Scoble vs. HN is indeed an interesting battle to observe. It's bit, ummm, one-sided ... I'll do a post-launch blog post on this tomorrow.
I will provide my personal opinion, although hopefully I don't offend :-)
Scoble is the poster child of "Social media", half-bit hacks who think they're "social media entrepreneurs" subscribe to his views (what he likes and dislikes) and follow/like his profiles on various sites (Facebook, Twitter, Google+) but the majority don't actually care about what he has to say, they just do it to validate their own position. "I'm a social media entrepreneur, I subscribe to Robert Scoble!" so while his numbers are impressive the amount of people who actually care about what he has to say is minimal.
It's the same "phenomena" that affects Techcrunch, take a look at their Twitter, they have 2 MILLION followers and yet when they post a link to a new article they've posted it gets ~500 clicks in a day. People subscribe to Scoble for the same reason they subscribe to Techcrunch: They want to show they are "with it" and are part of what Techcrunch and Scoble represent (modern media) but they don't really care about either of them individually.
Hacker news on the other hand is a community of people who come here to find things, if something is posted to Hacker news and get upvotes it's because people care about that post, it's not because they love hacker news.
I think in this neck of the woods it's hard to offend anyone. On the other side of the river though, where the socialites put up camp, things are different. They thrive on "taking offense" & spreading vapid rumors.
Battle the dragons to get up 6am in the morning. Drive through a snowstorm up up up towards the mountain of Doom in the alps. Sneak past the security guards in Davos & enter the WEF. Sit around for hours like a good little camper, freezing your butt off.
Ok, done with the editorializing, here's what you should do in reality: find out where he'll be, go there, talk to him, be normal. He's very approachable.
By the way, PR people should take lessons from Denis. He not only drove a few hours to see me in Davos, but he taught me to sled, which was one of the highlights of my trip to the World Economic Forum. Of course no good deed goes unpunished because I beat him down the hill.
Does "sled" mean something unusual here? My experience is that it is similar to falling down a hill, but with something slippery under you-- not really a skill that needs teaching, I thought.
