10 Zen Monkeys Post About Nick Douglas

Jerry Zucker, from Airplane and Naked Gun fame show up at the Since hiring Robert Scoble, John Furrier has been building a powerhouse video network. PodTech already has the snarky Geek Entertainment TV. But could they, would they, push the envelope enough for a Nick Douglas style show? I love PodTech. I love doing photowalking shows over there with Scoble -- but is PodTech the network for a gossip video? I will say that Scoble mentions Valleywag a lot. 3. Revision3. In September I wrote about snarky exchange with Calacanis over Calacanis calling Douglas "Little Nicky." Of course... what if that snarky little exchange though were *actually* planned. Think about *that* for a minute. Still, Douglas has gone after Calacanis before and Calacanis has an awfully large ego and even if there were potential there the ego thing could be problematic. Then again, business is business. 6. CNET. Unlikely, but should be mentioned. Two problems here. The first is that CNET has had their own business troubles and probably wants to deal with those without a Nick Douglas distraction -- they probably would also worry about the reputation of CNET News being tied to a gossip video blogger. 7. Wired could also get into video which might be behind Denton's comments. Certainly pushing video content through Wired's distribution channel could be interesting. More likely than not Douglas really truly actually has not made up his mind about what he will do next -- which is why if I worked in venture capital or video I'd probably be taking him up on that lunch offer.
