Comment on A few truths about Davos by Robert Scoble

I’m in Davos too. I’m very glad I have gotten to attend four times as well and I’ve noticed most of this too. One thing I’ve noticed over the last five years is that the Congress Hall has actually gotten less comfortable. It’s more crowded and louder, which means I can’t do my style of video interviews easily.

I’m not sure I’ll be coming back. Actually, I might come back for the growing offsite stuff. I’ve done more networking in the Piano Bar (and there’s a new venture fund starting around that) than anywhere else and I have one of the famed white badges.

The dinners are still great, though. I was involved on one on social media. That’s where you can meet a lot of new people very effectively (I met an autism researcher, for instance).

The Forum still does try to stop outside events, by the way.

No action, blah blah blah, no plans , no strategies, it is all called expensive networking .

Glad to hear it!

Another lesson here, one that I was taught over and over during my Salon years is: Any time you have to wonder whether a problem is the result of somebody’s bad behavior or a software bug, assume it’s the software until proven otherwise.

The problem with writing about Berkeley is everyone thinks you’re writing fiction.

Good luck, we had and continue to have the same issue. You can ask to be resubmitted, but we just get a vague refusal.
