chris messina got one thing right: he is a fuckup. this is a guy who has a track record of whoring himself to the highest corporate bidder and then shitting on them publicly later when the checks stop coming in. i've watched him up close and seen him take advantage of friends and intimate relationships. he's dated and/or married women who enabled him to capitalize off of being internet famous but the relationships fall apart when the twitter follower counts and/or contract jobs stop coming in. he'll take credit for loads of ideas, and passes himself off as a tech guru visionary, but he will never be there to see any of the ideas through. when his ideas don't materialize on their own he's always shocked. i worked with him at google and can honestly say beware of this major tool. this guy makes goblin king look accomplished. can't wait to see what PoS startup this fool starts next. simply, chris is a shitty work colleague and piss poor friend. he may have the occasional interesting idea but his ulterior motives, around financial and tech status gains, get in his way time and time again.
