Earlier this week, Alan noted a quote from an ‘expert’ speaking at a Blog conference (which happened to be co-organized by Robert Scoble):
“if you talk about something long enough, you will become an authority on the topic.”
Earlier this day, Scoble crossed the line of incompetence again. He’s full of it and I quote:
One thing he just told me is that some companies that make spyware are actually advertising on Google for “anti-spyware” keywords. So, you’ll get hit with even more spyware.
Blah-blah. Worst yet, Scoble links to a site that is literally set-up by a person who claims to be an expert but actually isn’t as he readily admits in the comments section of that same post. Now, compare it with this: I delete spyware by hand, because I truly think it’s just a convenience issueN1, but I don’t call myself an expert, because after all, I don’t really give a damn. You’ll find my comments on removal of spyware here, if you look for it.
But, I do care that Scoble is ‘regarded an authority on the topic’. Full of it10.
