Turf wars don’t just happen in the streets. They also happen in Silicon Valley. For example, Kevin Rose’s Digg users saw Rose as a victim of theft from Jason Calacanis’ Netscape redesign. However, Kevin and Jason clearly presented mutual respect for each other on the last episode of The GigaOM Show.
If I were to take anything away useful from the entire episode, I would say this would this dialogue would be it:
Om: “Are you two Facebook friends or no?”
Rose: “Yeah, we are.”
Joyce: “Top friends?”
Rose: “Uh, I haven’t added that stupid Top Friends application, I refuse to do it.”
In this episode, I was happy to see that I wasn’t the only tech-savvy person annoyed by some of the useless applications appearing on Facebook.
Another part of the episode I liked is when Om asked Calacanis why nobody likes him. I didn’t envision Om to be so blunt. I think I’m actually starting to like The GigaOM show better than Diggnation already.
