I actually rather enjoy your comments about the Digg fiasco. I've never gotten the impression that Kevin was a great business man. And, I'd avoid taking business advice from him most days of the week, although his celebrity might be handy. I'd definitely take advice from you re: business arrangements with Kevin any day of the week, however.

Tim... I agree. Very tool like. I actually liked Tim's book. He's a rampant self promoter, and turns a lot of people off. But, he did have some interesting ideas, which I liked a lot, however. Having him as a angel or board member... I don't know. I'd have to think about that one a lot.



I've never had a negative impression of him. He is confident and forces you to think in a different direction. I also know the "4 hour" week is an exaggeration. Pay close attention and he does a lot of work related stuff (including writing a book) that consumes time. Nonetheless, he is providing a road map for things most of us have thought were unobtainable.
