John Siracusa: cool companies like Apple don’t need to have Scobles (look at the Google blogs: they’re rewritten press releases, not real blogs), but Apple could definitely use someone reading blogs and reporting to the higher-ups.
Good point, and it’s actually kind of appalling that any important company at all would neglect all that feedback, but this sentence is so unrealistic: “The addition of just one high-profile, officially sanctioned Apple blogger who has the ear of Steve Jobs could prevent [things like the MacBook thermal paste fiasco] from happening.
” A blogger having the ear of Steve Jobs? In what parallel dimension?

Want to know when I post new content to my blog? It's a simple as registering for free to an RSS aggregator (Feedly, NewsBlur, Inoreader, …) and adding www.ff00aa.com to your feeds (or www.garoo.net if you want to subscribe to all my topics). We don't need newsletters, and we don't need Twitter; RSS still exists.
