The Beer and Boobs Conference Call…wayyyyy too tame

Eddie sent me the link to RICK’s conference call . If their was one call that could have been great, this was it. Nope.

These calls are just such a pile of crap that I can’t believe they still happen. Almost as boring as this guy .

There are 50 ways this thing could have been entertaining.

I am going to write a Wallstrip Conference call for RICK’s that should have been. Chime in with any ideas and we will run it on Wallstrip .

Actually maybe Haliburton’s move to Dubai . That could be fun.

This is truly almost as boring as Podtech . It’s definately as ridiculous as blogging :) . I believe that the Podtech employees and those in the table tennis match do wear the same shorts though. And they prance.

Robert Scoble hates the Blogosphere

Out of Ambien as my wife and I are being tortured by he flu. Lucky for us we pulled this gem of a 36 minute nerd video from Podtech.net .

By minute 4 you will sleep like a baby. The good news is that you wake up and you wont remeber where you were. This site has some potential if they pursue an FDA path to use their videos to change sleep patterns.

Podtech.Net is Podtech.YAWN

Through some linkbaiting today I was forced to head over to Podtech.net – a $5.5 million venture backed startup that’s mission must be:

“An alternative for people that want SLEEP without drugs”

So here is what they have done with their $5.5 million – hired Robert Scoble and built a player (You Tube’s was not good enough, or Veoh’s or VSocial’s or Blip’s…. )

Genius. It seems to be doing wonders for their Alexa ranking.

Now, if you want to watch Robert Scoble drink triple lattes for 40 minutes talking to some geek about his thingawajiggy, this is still not a site worth your time. It just blows.

Here he is spending fourty freaking minutes talking about the Zune. He calls it in depth. Let me save you the time Robert and do the Zune in one second…check the store shelves because no one has bought one.

What you can do instead is go to Gabe Rivera’s self funded TechMeme and get everything you need to know about what’s going on in the tech and internet space.
