Well...For meeting Tom the first time, he seems like the ordinary fella... as a matter of fact, this guy is really, really Intelligent. I trully have had the pleasure of listening Tom's great presentations to the class about online "Social Networking" where he has been since the beginning.
Tom mentions that he reads lots of publication every morning to absorb as much knowledge as possible. I thought that was quite fascinating being able to catch up on all of it, as one needs to have a lot of time in order to do that.
One of the most interesting thing I found is where he talkes about pitfalls of blogging, such as thratened lawsuites where this guy tried to sue him over something he expressed his idea about. Even more interesting is where the same guy tries to sue him again, but this time from Australia. I haven't really grasped the entire conversation, but from what I heard Tom was explaining to us apparently Australia has different laws than the US, so this guy goes to Australia to sue Tom over what he expressed about.
The outcome of this was that this guy loses of course since Tom, being popular and smart at the same time working for Oracle-big corporation with offices almost all around the world, not to mention the lawyers who have helped and represented Tom in this matter.
Lastly, Tom had to protect himself against this...In the end, it was about the importance of his name and reputation.

You know,
I thought the whole talk about lawsuits was very interesting and catchy. Its funny how people had the nerve to sue him for nothing at all. This brings me back to something I bring up in all of my blog entries- blogging freedom of speech/regulation. I mean if someone can sue you for giving them an answere that they believe is incorrect, then why bother asking? Another thing is.. how accountable are you for the information that you distribute and write about in your blogs. To me, it seems there is no distinct regulation for blogging, but people keep getting in trouble!!!
