He&#8217;s never linked to any of <a href="http://www.scobleshow.com">my videos</a>, which is where the smart people and smart ideas in my life are.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.podtech.net/scobleshow/technology/1641/talking-about-the-best-party-ever">Smart person on there right now is Sally Strebel</a>, aka &#8220;bizgirl&#8221; on Twitter. But she&#8217;ll never get on TechMeme, even on a slow day like today. Smart people talking about their businesses and their lives are never interesting enough to link to, no?</p>
<p>So, if TechMeme is a cesspool we have only ourselves to blame.</p>
<p>I notice that Dave doesn&#8217;t link to <a href="http://www.google.com/reader/shared/14480565058256660224">my link blog</a>. I keep my stupid idiocy off of there (and I haven&#8217;t linked to Jason Calacanis&#8217; latest idiocy either).</p>
<p>My link blog has never been on TechMeme either.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s funny is Dave&#8217;s post made it onto TechMeme before I even linked to it.</p>
