I happen to be fortunate: I live in San Francisco, and I can afford a $600 phone. Or two of them!

If there's a danger at Facebook, it's the assumption that Facebook has us all locked in and we aren't going to go elsewhere.

Apple knows a lot of data. Facebook knows a lot of data. Amazon knows a lot of data. Microsoft used to, and still does with some people, but in the newer world, Microsoft knows less and less about me. Xbox still knows a lot about people who play games. But those are the big five, I guess.

I'm so tired of the privacy advocates.

What's really going on is, on your iPhone, you have 200 apps, and they're all collecting a little data on you. Twitter knows a certain thing, Foursquare knows something else, my Fitbit app knows something else, my Waze app knows something else.

The problem with Flipboard is that it's an app, not the Web, and I keep hoping someone will show me a really well-designed Web app that shows me that the Web can still win.

There's smarter people than me. But you cannot have any one guy running 18 billion-dollar businesses. It just doesn't make sense to me. I've met some extraordinary leaders in my time. They struggle with running one billion-dollar business.

My favorite conference so far has been Davos, the World Economic Forum. The people there were really incredible.

It's amazing that about 10% of startups couldn't be found on Facebook because they had common names or names that weren't searchable.

Facebook is looking to help you distribute content to who you want to distribute to. Facebook gets a lot better if you put each of your friends into either your 'close friend' or 'acquaintance' list.

We are moving into a world where companies will be able to offer us products and services based on our last two hours of activity. This is both exciting and frightening at the same time.

Investors can see that Facebook is feeling old and tired and isn't seeming to be that innovative.

Oh, some day I'll tell you about why I wrote more than 1,500 Gmail filters. They throw away more than 300 emails every day. Every day. It's the best thing I ever did for my productivity.

Facebook is teachable. If you hide items, you'll see fewer of those kinds of items in the future. Like more items, and you'll see more of those in the future.

Once you become known for one thing, it's easy to become known for a second thing, a third thing, and a fourth thing.

The people who can step up my experience are those who have a common set of experiences with people I know. Think about it. How often did a total stranger come into your life to make your evening better? Not very often. But the friend of your friend? That happens all the time.

Be the authority on your product/company. You should know more about your product than anyone else alive if you're writing a blog about it.

People thought I was an idiot, but I saw social networks were going to be more important, and it turned out to be true.

Robert Scoble

Highlight just hasn't proven to be very addictive to either me or my friends. We talk about it often. I keep running it.

This is what Steve Jobs understood: Brands are defined not by the best thing on the product but by the worst thing.

Robert Scoble

I'm just an early adopter; I subscribe to more things than normal people and have a high level of inbound and a high level of noise.

Robert Scoble

Never change the URL of your blog. I've done it once, and I lost much of my readership. It took several months to build up the same reader patterns and trust.

Robert Scoble

Use photos and videos often. The best startups post lots of imagery and videos. The worst ones? Text only.

Robert Scoble

Everyone is on Facebook. It is very rare that I can't find a startup. Out of the 72 Y Combinator startups, almost all of them were on Facebook.

Robert Scoble

Everything you do on Facebook will affect what comes in your view in the future. If you like crappy things that you don't care about, you'll see more crappy brands that you don't care about in the future, and it might even affect your experiences when you walk into bars, churches, schools, shopping malls, etc.

Robert Scoble

I'd try to become known as a world expert on 'something,' to take a small niche you can define.

The problem with Microsoft is that it's so committee-driven and slow.

My favorite computer of all time? The Apple II that got me started, of course.
