Scobleizer Weblog

Today's Stuff Tuesday, November 20, 2001

Jean-Louis Gassée doesn't have a weblog yet. The reason is he thinks it's too chronophage (time-consuming) and he says he doesn't have Dave Winer's talent. Of course he has the talent to write (he writes a weekly column in a French newspaper) and the time it takes to edit a weblog... is the time you take to edit your weblog. Of course Dave Winer is an avid weblogger, but it has become a great medium for sharing his points of vue (and therefore Userland spirit too), but some other famous technologists edit their weblog far less frequently (Joel doesn't edit his weblog everyday usualy, Craig Burton even less, and Doc far even less - yes, this one was a joke - ). But they have a personal presence on the web, and that is great. We learn a lot from them. And while I don't know you so much, I am sure that we have a lot to learn from you Mister JLG.
