Scoble, Part 2

Part two of my conversation with Robert Scoble for his FastCompany.tv... Nice shot of the Emmy. Thanks for the interview, Robert!

Scoble And The Weather

Robert Scoble is like the weather. Everyone complains about him, but no one can do anything about him. (I kid.) Part one of the interview I did with Scoble for FastCompany.tv is online. Part two should be up tomorrow. If you missed my MMacworld keynote, many of the things I talked about appear in this show... Man do I need a haircut. The rest of the keynote made its way into this podcast interview I did last night with the Weather Brains (four TV meteorologists who have a very entertaining audio show about weather). Weatherbrains Episode 155 Follow the Weatherbrains on Twitter: James Spann, JB Elliott, Brian Peters, Kevin Selle. I thank them for their hospitality.

Twitter Hacked

This morning at around 9am Pacific "under 50" of the most-followed Twitter users lost control of their accounts, including Barack Obama, CNN's Rick Sanchez, Fox News, and me. Both my password and the reset email address were modified. As far as I know the hacker didn't post on my account, but Fox News tweeted "Bill O'Reilly is gay" and Rick Sanchez announced that he was taking the day off because he was on crack. Twitter was quick to remove these spurious posts and block the hacker. But what really happened? I got this explanation from Twitter's John Adams, @netik, via Qik on my iPhone at the Tweetup at the 21st Amendment tonight. According to John, the hacker gained access to Twitters admin tools.
