[...] Many of these issues came up, toward the end, of Friday’s Gillmor Gang with Google Director of Engineering David Glazer. One takeway is that, ironically, Microsoft [...]

It seems that Arrington is very comfortable acting like an asshole and talking crap now that he owns the show. He needs to get over himself and stop fucking with the flow.

Thanks to David Glazer for the detailed discussion of how Friend Connect works. Seems to me that the main problem is how many times he said “we cache X, but we don’t store it”. Even if that’s true today (which I’m inclined to accept), I find it pretty hard to believe that it will always be true …

@Scott, say what you will, but I like it.
Did you all hear David’s uneasy “laughter” when Arrington put him on the spot?
One word: Awesome (as in powerful)
Arrington had a bit of vitriol, but it was basically a “cut the bullshit, and gimme the skinny”.
While I may have somewhat negative opinions of Arrington, he is fast becoming my favorite to listen to and to depend on for leaning on the “big guys”.
hey Arrington, next time just tell them to quit talking to you like your some schmuck or get the fuck off the call. We can all read the PR and blog posts.

Did it ever occur to you that by having only white males on your show (not sure about Gabe but you get the point) that you’re limiting your viewpoints?
Any thoughts to including others?

Yes, it has occurred to me many times over the 4 years the show has been running. Earlier this year, I started a companion show NewsGang Live, which features a number of women and a domain range from tech to politics and the arts. Increasingly I am broadening Gillmor Gang’s content with guests from all walks of life (mostly tech focused) and am always on the lookout for more diversity in every sense of the word. The Gillmor Gang remains a group of my friends and associates in the tech and media communities, and reflects that social graph.

Steve, Thanks for your response, I see your latest podcast features women such as Francine Hardaway and others. Thanks for your honest response. On first visit to this site, the profiles on the right column, really set me back.

@Steve
Would be good to get Dare Obasanjo on the show. Not because he is black (can’t understand the “white male” argument), but because he is a real authority on this stuff.

Hi,
This is totally unrelated to this conversation, but I found no place for general comments.
I just want to thank so much for The Gillmor Gang conversations and the format they are delivered in. As a co-founder of a company, CTO, father of a 16 months old daughter and so on, I am as so many other struggling for time. These conversations gives me the chance of keeping up to date while making dinner, walking the dog, exercising…
I think the level of the discussions are at an impressive level and very competently moderated.
So thank you, thank you, thank you and I hope you get filthy rich doing this.
Keep up the good work!
