Response from the Pondering Primate

JP, that was one of my first posts before I had my blog. I wrote this story and sent it to a few blogs...it first appeared on Smart Mobs, but Robert Scoble (MSFT) posted it.

"The Pondering Primate asks interesting search questions:

A guy named Scott has been sending me business ideas for months now. And once in a while I asked him "why don't you blog this?"

"I wanted to share him with the rest of you. Well, he still won't sign his last name to anything. Wants a bit of anonymity. I can't blame him there. He's not real slick or always the best, or clearest, writer, but he has some interesting insights into the future of search. But recently he started a blog titled "The Pondering Primate."

"He did know how to get my attention, though. Would write me with email titles like "here's what Google's missing" or "what happens when search and advertising go mobile?"

"I love customers who challenge us to do better and see things that we aren't yet seeing. That's why I subscribed to Scott's blog. His editorial mostly exists of questions, but, boy, what questions!"

Lockergnome picked it up here:

you will see at the bottom it mentions who wrote the story

All the Best, JP

PS: Let me mention the fact that I've read most all of the Pondering Primates works. He is one of the sharpest minds in the business and I personally believe that if asked, Robert Scoble would have to agree as well. The Pondering Primate is a futurist who has the rare ability to connect the dots well before they are all evident.
