One of our favorite business thinkers is Guy Kawasaki. He's been a Silicon Valley insider for a long time and his latest book, Reality Check, doles out tons of great advice for entrepreneurs. Here we sit down with him in his home office to learn all sorts of stuff like why he would rather have Twitter than a cell phone.

Loved this interview. And will be buying the book soon! Thanks for a great job.
It's nice that Guy Kawasaki is young enough and has already such thoughts in his head... I'm not a good manager myslf but I believe that all that this mister is proposing is right! hope all his plans and perspectives will come true...
Guy is right about Twitter. It is a great way to spread the word for marketers, and better than the cell phone. You can actually reach to thousands of people with Twitter, but you simply can't do that with your cell phone.
Guy is great, but Scoble needs to brush up on his interviewing skills. Thank god Guy is smart or that interview would've sucked.
you know it really will be interesting to read this book and I think that I am ready for a Reality Check.
Great interview.And will be buying the book soon!
Excellent interview, as one of the "original" 64K apple owners, I have followed Guy's career. His thoughts on Twitter are especially interesting to me as a recent new Tweeter. TU
Really interesting comments that make a lot of sense.
PS - A lot of my learning on Twitter comes from following Guy, as well as Calacanis, Le Meur and many others.
PSS - AllTop clearly rocks.
Very interesting to see the amount of comments on here. Came back to watch this video since the day it was published, and didn't expect this much of a response.
Out 2 penny's worth - is that everyone underestimated many startups, and now they underestimate Twitter. Each day I stumble across links and information directly from TechCrunch, GigaOm and Scoble, and often stuff that is not on their blogs. My learning has increased dramatically since starting back up on Twitter, now that it isn't always down, I always have TwitterBerry and these guys teaching me something new.
Nothing is more powerful than knowledge, so little social or information based services are more powerful than Twitter. Comparisons to Google would be ridiculous, this is Evolution as part of an ecosystem, which is now being moulded by Twitter and the proliferation of 3rd Party services to enhance and support it.
PS - again more inspiration from Guy. Thanks Guy,! Scoble - more of these videos please!
I think Realty Check is a book I need to put on my list for future reading.
I just don't see Twitter as being as powerful as Guy thinks. I think it's powerful if you are a vendor but as a real estate agent, my target market does not use Twitter. Over the last several weeks, I have asked 30 of my clients if they have used Twitter before and only 1 even knew what Twitter was but he doesn't use it.
I find Guy fascinating. His energy and cool perspective on business is very inspiring and unique. Great interview Scoble.
"Focus on your customer NOT the competition"
Great advice!
Guy is great, but Scoble needs to brush up on his interviewing skills. Thank god Guy is smart or that interview would've sucked.
Neither Twitter nor Twittee shall I be.
Who has the time to waste & is so socially isolated that Twitter entices?
...& let's not forget the small matter of actually turning a profit.
Guy rocks, but I think he's dead wrong on Twitter.
Great stuff and I'm loving the book. About the 10/20/30 rule, have you guys run across Cliff Atkinson's book and blog, Beyond Bullet Points? He's got a great system for telling stories (instead of listing information) in 10 slides, using a story board based on a three act play format.
Great interview. How can you top Guy and Robert? Guy is SO right about twitter and his Alltop is getting better every day. Twitter started about 18 months ago and is now rapidly gaining traction. I think Alltop will find it's legs pretty soon and take off and there is virtually no limit to the upside for both of these apps. Tweet me @kent_beatty.
i think it's great that Guy is doing well with AllTop.
Guy is right about Twitter. It is a great way to spread the word for marketers, and better than the cell phone. You can actually reach to thousands of people with Twitter, but you simply can't do that with your cell phone.
My first visit - thanks to a tweet - love it. Great to see such a personal nearly unedited visit with a person we hear of all the time. He should be a politician - so good at staying on messge with continual references to twitter and alltop.
