Thanks markus. In many respects this is live by the sword die by the sword business. We're heavily invested in social media and when you develop a business that's heavily invested in social functions you live and die by the communities perceptions of you. That's moveable type and that goes for all of us in this space. Remember 59 Bloggers? On the other hand Mena needs to get some thicker skin. She's very high visibility as one of the leading ladies of the blogosphere. So it's ridiculous to think everyone's going to love her. Message to Mena, if you can't take the heat Mena get out of the kitchen... or off the stage... or wherever you're not comfortable being. :) On yet still a third hand... never ever loose your smile or grace when you're in a room full of camera's or microphones... it always... always, always... looks bad... and that's before people even start taking it further and further out of context in which case it just looks worse and worse. BTW, there's also a clip of her from CBS on her blog. http://www.sixapart.com/about/corner/ We've got a bit of a Mena Craze going on now. :) Peace, -Mike Michael Meiser http://mmeiser.com/blog - fun stuff http://mmeiser.com/backchannel - del.icio.us link blog http://evilvlog.com - serious lunacy has a new domain > > Jay dedman wrote: > >> Looks like our boy raymond caught some interesting video at some >> confenrce. >> mena trott from typepad and some audience member discussing how to >> behanve online.reminds me of some of the discussions we have on this >> grouop when we disagree. >> >> http://dltq.org/media/menavsben.mov >> (sorrry i found it in the delicious feed so i dont know the >> permalink). >> >> jay >> >> >> -- >> Adventures in Videoblogging >> <URL: http://www.momentshowing.net> >> <http://feeds.feedburner.com/Momentshowing> >> <http://getFireAnt.com> >> >> >> >> >> Yahoo!
