[...] It’s an early April Fool’s joke, of course. Jump to the 3:45 mark. They are clearly playing off a story from two weeks ago, spread quickly via a credulous Robert Scoble Twitter message, that CNET had acquired Revision3 for $58 million. [...]

Are you a fast blogger or a slow blogger?…

The philosophy of one of my favorite bakeries is that they allow the bread to rise up to 36 hours to ensure the best quality. It reminded me of the Italian ’slow food’ movement as a response to the production and consumption of fast food. …

I shouldn’t have posted anything. I was just surprised that revision3 was supposedly being purchased and I’ve gotten tons of crap for it. ugh.

@Scoble,

It’s not that BIG of a deal. Twitter is a dangerous thing. News spreads fast and well to be quite honest you are the second most followed person in twitter and one of the most creditable sources. Maybe in the future to double check before twittering might save you all this trouble or Mr. Michael Arrington will cover the mishap.

@ Sarah Meyers

Rumors and gossip are only newsworthy when a top blogger with gets caught up in twittering and gets a little excited. Its a human mistake.

@Michael Arrington

I don’t know if this post really was very newsworthy. I think it is quite humorous, but I think Scoble is taking it the wrong way. Its kind of like telling an embarrassing story to millions of people…oh wait.

The rumor is traced back to Dr. Tiki from Tiki Bar TV…. One of the most dugg podcasts on Digg. Go figure.

I watched the whole thing go down on twitter. It’s gossip and rumors that get around the fastest. How is this news worthy? Just because Robert read a twitter from a follower that had some ridiculously suspicious rumor about Revision 3 everyone is talking about it. Hahaha. Who would buy Revision3 for 58 million dollars?

It was also funny when engadget posted a false story about and Apple Iphone delay, and apple lost millions.

You guys need to do a little more research when stories come on a tweet.

I saw someone pass that along on Twitter, and passed it along myself. Then got shit for doing so. I should have called Adelson. Sorry.

What is more funny is how much importance we give to things and events
that have to do with our job but then wonder what’s the point of all these.
Heck, what is the point of working?
Nice story either way.

So basically you tried to get CNET to lower their standards to your level, but failed. Great story!

and then it hit you… wait, this is a party. Instead of calling up a bunch of people and ruining their night, I should be looking for my Ashley Alexandra Dupre like Call Girl and head back home and take some high res pics of her and I to upload to my Flickr account!

I don’t see why this is such a big deal. So, there was a rumor of Rev3 selling. Cool. You know how many people ‘report’ things that are wrong? Just take a look at any rumors site like MacRumors. They’re wrong almost every day.

What’s the big deal about a 20 minute screwup?

The memory of The Three Stooges comes to mind. If you get a snicker from Farber over this, it’ll be more emotion than he usually shows. And you don’t deserve even that.

Twits indeed.

Did anyone seen how Duncan is losing it on his blog, insulting people and calling everyone that doesn’t agree with him names?

How long before he’s out of Techcrunch?
