PodTech Signs 1938 Media, the Snarks of the VideoBlog World

Categories: Podtech, Video, Web IndustryPosted on December 20th, 2006

If you’ve not heard, I work at PodTech now too, and we’re signing all kinds of talent to the network.

Do you know that guy Loren Feldman, he’s a video blogger and sometimes lies naked in bed giving us his opinions, often with a great deal of grief. He really gets on my nerves and I find him abrasive. Well John Furrier told me at dinner last night that we hired them.

Funny how we hire those that criticize us, Loren Feldman announces he’s joining the network and he said he never called Robert Scoble Fat Lazy or Stupid. Ah, I get it, NY humor, he’s dry, got wit, and will make a nice addition to the team.

A few weeks ago, Loren made an dent in the scene as he rips into the Scoble show, ouch. It didn’t stop there as Robert Scoble said that 1938 Media has been abusing his fans. I really hope these guys can get along, if not, I’m going to bring my helmet to work.

PodTech is signing on some folks…there’s another (or handful) that I know about, but I’m not supposed to say. It’s a pretty funny crew we’ve got here

I guess I have to Welcome Loren, Yue, of 1938 Media. Welcome, and please, no more vlogs from bed, thanks.

;)

Update: (A few hours later) For some strange reason, Robert Scoble is a real blog masochist. He wants Loren to keep on attacking him. Is that called a blogochist?

Update 2: Loren posted another video from bed again, that’s hawtt. He doesn’t like the term snarky, he says we should call him obnoxious, stupid, aggressive, arrogant, but really honest. Fair ’nuff.

Update 3: Apparently, I made Loren’s hate list. In reality, I don’t hate him. Deep down, guys that act rough and tough are actually big softy. We had fun partying at the BlogHaus at CES.

  • What a warm welcome. As far as the bed thing goes, I'll actually be interviewing CEO's as they lay in bed with me, I feel it gives a better sense of intimacy to the interview. BTW who are you exactly?

  • Loren, hiya

    Yeah, we\'re going to be colleagues.  Despite that your harsh videos, I welcome you to the team!
    Look forward to working with you soon.

  • Hmm, maybe I should be happy I'm the remote PodTech-er. Jeremiah you can always escape to Canada! I have WiFi!
  • Thanks Tris, I know I can always count on you.

    I think Loren and I will be able to get along ok, of course, I'll pass on any 'intimate' interviews he suggests above.
