One thing I found interesting in Robert Scoble’s recent “takedown” of Steve Ballmer’s comments of Facebook is that Robert Scoble is 42.
So, what’s the difference between Scoble and Ballmer? 9 years and about $15,000,000,000.
Hey, Scoble: Ballmer isn’t talking about Facebook’s coolness, usefulness, or anything else. He’s talking about its business future. Business, you know, making money– something you’ve not managed to do in 42 years on this earth and something Ballmer has done in spades because that’s what he knows how to do.

For all his puffery, jargon, impossible-to-disprove ‘theories’, etc., The BubbleGeneration guy is still the only deep thinker of “web 2.0″ and he has it exactly right about Facebook. Hey geeks, wake the fuck up– Facebook is trying to lock you in to their system by pretending to open it up. They’re whoring out the word ‘platform’ to mean ‘a way for us to steal ideas and own you all’. They’re playing you. Will someone else besides BubbleDude start pointing this out?
