She is incredibly self promotional and doesn't seem to have an original thought in her head. I've seen her speak and interacted directly with her and to be very honest she comes off as a vapid kiss ass to the tech gurus of the moment. She follows along after every new thing that comes along without asking tough questions. In order to have validity in the alpha geek space, she needs to show some discernment and not be a cheerleader for everything the O'Reilly folks tell her about. The apple has fallen far from the tree on this one. Mike, I'm really surprised that you would help to amplify someone like this. There are many very smart women in technology that could be much better role models. I don’t get Esther Dyson.

Sad part is, your english is not good enough to hide your jealousy. Ok, so Truemors is not a big hit, is there anyone that hasn't failed? How about "The Art of the Start", did he fail at that one? Get real and stop pretending to know what TC readers like, there are about 600k readers, how many did you talk to? dude – that’s soo weak that you’re spraying hate on Guy.

Uh. For a short time I liked reading his blog..then I discovered his ego in countless posts. Never went back. He is knowledgeable though. Yossi sounds like a fascinating guy, and it would be great to hear him speak. Guy Kawasaki. Uh.
