Vain though it may be, tonight I looked in on my own past posts on the Vook. The writing was better than I remembered it, just exactly my kind of fun with words, but I do think I have been overly… forgiving… of this sleazy little… not vampire, even writ small… this skeezy little mosquito […]

This was in my email this morning, spam from LinkedIn.com: Joel Burslem is no longer Director of Product Development at Vook Means what, I don’t know. Deck chairs on the Titanic. There is no huge surging mass of sub-literates demanding even easier-reading access to the half-shouted profundities of Gary Vaynerchuk. Love him or hate him, […]
Believe it or don’t, just yesterday I was telling Cathleen that I felt remiss in not having made fun of the Vook lately. The Vook, as you will recall, is Brad Inman’s latest attempt to prove that he stumbled onto half a billion bucks by accident. The trouble is, as he is discovering, pissing away […]
The New York Times: Plenty of authors dream of writing the great American novel. Bradley Inman wants to create great fiction, dramatic online video and compelling Twitter stream — and then roll them all into a multimedia hybrid that is tailored to the rapidly growing number of digital reading devices. Mr. Inman, a successful Silicon […]
I’m kicking this back to the top from February of 2010, when the iPad had just been announced. In another of the posts in this series, I wrote: “The implication of a computer that can train its end-users how to use it is that teaching as a profession is dead. All teaching, at all levels. […]
It should come as no surprise that the average “good customer,” doesn’t spend a lot of time (or wish to learn) anything about the Real Estate Industry. Even when it serves them–even if they should know. The average “good customer,” would prefer that their real estate was “handled,” for them, that they could swallow […]
Busy as anything, ever, as I’m sure you can guess from my absence hereabouts. How busy am I? I still have not lain my own hands on an iPad. Tried to make time a couple-three times, but I couldn’t squeeze out the seconds. But I have been paying attention to the aghastrointestinal noises made by […]
You heard that right. Morgan Stanley is predicting that as many as ten million iPads could be sold in 2010. A boatload of them have already been sold, and the iPad doesn’t even ship until April 3rd. iPad news abounds, of course, and no one needs to be reminded about pudding and eating, all those […]
Here’s a true fact: I’m pretty much disgusted with the RE.net — which denomination I quarried with my own hands, back in my early days on the apellation trail. By now, just about everything looks to me like hoke, smoke, hustle and jive — smirking vendorsluts and the clueless suckers who can’t stop themselves from […]
…at Engadget. It’s called the iPad… Dear Brad Inman, while you weren’t Vooking, Steve Jobs stole your lunch: “Embedded video inside of articles that can be played.” Don’t weep, though. It’s a Kindle-killer, too, as expected: How free does information want to be? The marginal value of digital content is the discounted perceived cost of […]
Some semi-informed speculation from the Financial Times: The name and functions of the new machine are not known, but intense speculation and leaks from component manufacturers and business allies have pointed to a number of expected characteristics. The consensus is that the tablet will have a large screen, perhaps 10 inches on the diagonal, and […]
Hungry dinosaur. Will Vook for food:
You just can’t make this stuff up: Inman News is launching a new feature: Real Estate Product Reviews. Would you like to be part of a team of real estate professionals that reviews and rates new real estate technologies, tools and services? We want to hear from you. I’ll just bet you do… I loved […]
It’s like a motorcycle, but without the pick-up or maneuverability. Or economy. Or range. Or sex-appeal. I want mine with the Vook option!
