  1. Hey guys, great show. I am curious, why there are no comments. Do listeners write you email directly? Couple of remarks. I’ll try the Skype text message add-in, at the moment though, I am using “Blue Phone Elite”. You need to have a bluetooth-able cell phone, but it lets you handle and edit your SMS’ and calls pretty smoothly. Only setback, your cell phone battery dies earlier because bluetooth consumes more power. 2ndly, in regard to the person who said, in response to Robert Scobles “RSS remark”, we don’t need more RSS-feeds polluting the web: One does not need to subscribe to a feed. It’s an option, therefore, it’s not pollution, but a service.
    Oh, and could you say the number of the podcast in the beginning? On my iPod the number isn’t displayed and this morning I was wondering is this number seven or number ten I am listening to.

    Thanks
    Sebastian
