Amazing - in less than 2 minutes a) I got insights on the Twitter patent issue b) got an idea about what's up with the Pre ads and c) laughed at least 3 times. You and your team do an awesome job. Thanks.

Meliza,

Excellent show! As with Twitter, this was coming and it's quite interesting and Twitter was preparing for it. Apple dominates the phone market with their iPhone. Though the Palm Pre is kicking heat against the innovative thinker (Apple). Awesome work! Meliza, I'm looking forward to finally meeting you and the Vator Team next month. ;)

@Meliza, a little late to the conversation I know :). So, yeah have to say Palm had a "make or break" on this advertising campaign, and it failed big time. I mean, I suppose the element of "Get a Mac" didn't quite appeal to them, so they went the complete opposite direction and ended up with a huge problem :).

Great show, keep up the fantastic work. I am personally looking forward to the big 50th show, right?!?! :D
