Ze vs Rocketboom

The one day I miss watching either Rocketboom or Ze Frank (Monday) something happens.

Oh, you missed it? Where have you been?

Ze dissed Rocketboom indirectly in his daily show and the furor has taken off. I won't replay the story. Google it if you need to find something. Chris Brogan has been giving it a good cover with a good perspective.

I said it yesterday and I’ll re-say it today.

It's completely and utterly the WRONG time to start fighting each other.


Go Chris!

Internecine fighting is not a valuable long term traffic generator.

Ze responds with:
Rocketboom might very well have more eyeballs than Ask A Ninja, Amanda Across America, or any of the currently popular video shows. But it's important to question not only what those numbers are and where they're coming from, but also whether the eyeballs these shows claim to have are even open.

This is the interesting part of the conversation and I hope the web dialogue continues in the direction of answers and solutions. Producers cannot make intelligent creative or business decisions about their work without meaningful measurements. In the absence of sane metrics, we're already repeating the mistakes that turned television into what it is today.

    really?

    i think brogan's response is about the least interesting out of anything that has been said on this.

    for god's sake - he has a picture of andrew in his header.

  2. He could have had Ze's picture there and I'd have said the same thing.

    the fighting is stupid, period.
