theodp writes "Following what was characterized as rude treatment of invited guests in a confrontation at Amazon HQ, Amazon CTO Werner Vogels turned to his personal blog to give author Shel Israel a public scolding for suggesting Amazon doesn't 'get' blogging (Amazon's blogging innovations include 'faux' personal blogs and patent-pending plogs). Vogels went on to voice concerns on Israel's blog that blogging could be too distracting for Amazon employees - think the self-proclaimed guy-with-guts challenged CEO Jeff Bezos about the distractions of his space exploration efforts?"

Blogging is a fad. It will be gone in a year or two. Everyone will be saying, "remember blogging?"

If I listened to every dumbassed "revelation" that came out of my CTO or CEOs mouth, I'd be sucking Mexican cock for nickles in the back alleys of Oaxaca.
