Listorious Interview

Will you be getting an iPhone 4?

Yes. In fact, I've ordered three. My son and wife want one too.

Robert Scoble in response to BugDave

Who's the most interesting person you've ever met?

Doug Engelbart, inventor of the mouse.

Robert Scoble in response to Greg R. Jacobs

Would you like to work for Yahoo!

Honestly? No. At least not until they get a product pipeline that is interesting.

Robert Scoble in response to Imran Jafri

If you were given an unlimited budget, which new startup would you invest it all in?

Not a good question. Soluto is quite nice but I would never invest that much in one company.

Robert Scoble in response to Shaun Trennery

If you knew listorious was spamming your twitter feed would you keep asking people to ask you questions?

No. I just went to http://twitter.com/settings/connections and revoked the ability for Listorious to post to Twitter.

Robert Scoble in response to Matthew Books

How many followers will you lose due to the flood of tweets from this? ;)

Probably a few. I've revoked Listorious' ability to spam Twitter.

Robert Scoble in response to Peter Clarke

What feature should Twitter add?

Ability to tag tweets, er, bundle them together.

Robert Scoble in response to Listorious

What was the funniest trend you've seen?

I don't pay attention to the trends. They are too often about some guy named Beiber or something like that.

Robert Scoble in response to Listorious

What's your favorite Twitter app?

On Android? Seesmic. On iPhone? Seesmic. On desktop? TweetDeck (although I usually just use Twitter.com).

Robert Scoble in response to Listorious

How do you use Twitter in your professional life?

Robert Scoble in response to Listorious

What are six things you could never do without?

My babies. My wife. Sushi. The sea. My phones. My laptop.

Robert Scoble in response to Listorious

What are some big Twitter faux pas?

You can get fired in Twitter. Telling your boss he smells funny probably isn't smart.

Robert Scoble in response to Listorious

What do you wish people would do more of on Twitter?

Tweet tech news. I never get enough of learning something about the tech industry through Twitter.

Robert Scoble in response to Listorious

Has Twitter changed your life? If yes, how?

Yes. I have met thousands of cool people through it.

Robert Scoble in response to Listorious

Why'd you start tweeting?

Because @ekai showed it to me and I wanted to tell him what I was eating for lunch.

Robert Scoble in response to Listorious

Who do you admire most for his or her use of Twitter?

Drew Olanoff @thatdrew for telling cancer to take a flying leap. I think he didn't put it that gently, though.

Robert Scoble in response to Listorious

What's your best tweet?

I don't know what my best Tweet is. There are too many. The one that sticks in my mind is the one I did during the Chinese earthquake (I was one of the first to tell other people about the quake).
