Gnomedex 6.0, Digg and comments

I’m at the Gnomedex 6.0 conference in Seattle. Great discussions going on; I’ve heard lots but contributed nothing!

Michael Arrington is speaking he just informed someone that “that’s a bad opinion to have (….) cut him off, and take away his microphone” He’s making some good points about the growth of Digg and the power of Digg. After him we get to hear from Sen. John Edwards.

Michael keeps talking about “success” and “successful” – Rick Segal just asked him to share his definition of success & successful – Michael Arrington’s definition: Something that “makes money & makes the Internet a better place to hang out”

Thinking about Michael’s points on Digg, I have to comment on how it’s funny a ton of people spoke to me about the post on size of patents; yet no one commented on it. I probably got more direct comments and feedback on that one post than any other post, yet no one posted anything. Yet on the post about how most search traffic from 98052 (the zip code for Microsoft’s head office) goes to Google got tons of comments, picked up on Digg, yet no one outside the office even mentioned it to me. Strange.

The post was basically that a couple of people asked me how big I think the Enquisite patents are.

How big are patents

About the size of a phone book. – Is that the answer you were looking for?
