To use exhausted cliches, "talk is cheap; actions speak louder than words." Shawn: I think people should focus more on what a person accomplishes than what they say.

Sometimes we say things that afterward we say "Doh!" about. Growing up as kids I'm sure we said something and someone took it outa context and then another person put it in a different context until it made us sounds like we were the worse person on earth (heck even some of our spouses do it). However it's a matter at that point of people believing (and knowing) who we really are. A podcast can't do this. I agree Jason had 100% good intentions on saying what he did...just one of those moments where I think it could be taken extremely (and I think Mike feels this way as well) out of context. And as an exec in our organization I think maybe that isn't a good place to be , where people can/will take you at the first thing you say. The web is fickle like that, one minute Jason says a lighter AIM should be made, and the next minute AIMLight is already in beta...though I'm more worried about it just appearing that he hates our own products. You know the saying..."The road to hell is paved with good intentions". Dossy,

I agree Jason does a good job at transparency…and I’m sure as I told him that he means well but you made a good point. Sometimes we say things that afterward we say “Doh!” about. Growing up as kids I’m sure we said something and someone took it outa context and then another person put it in a different context until it made us sounds like we were the worse person on earth (heck even some of our spouses do it). However it’s a matter at that point of people believing (and knowing) who we really are.

A podcast can’t do this.
