Man, the thing between me and Steve Gillmor just won't die. Steve talked about it for a looooooong time in this week's Gillmor Gang, and even Dan Farber mentions it on ZDNet. Steve's outlook seems to be as long as people talk about you and link to you, it doesn't matter if they think you are brilliant or an idiot, so I guess I'll take some of each thank you. I believe I am now the tail wagging the dog, and it is either terrible or fantastic and I can't tell which.

For the record, I find it unbelievable that anyone is pushing back on my outlook. All I am saying is "if you are going to pitch me, tell me more about your products not less." Isn't saying "tell me more about what you have to sell me" an advertiser's wet dream? To respond with "No, we prefer to keep it cryptic" is really missing an opportunity.
