I think the most telling part of the interview was M Linden (Mark Kingdon) having a bit of difficulty explaining to Scoble how to quickly get to an event or a location that he was interested in.
It should be as simple as saying "Copy this and email it to them."
The ums and ers suggest evasiveness or discomfort and do not demonstrate a confidence in the simplicity in the interface.
When M can say with confidence to a person like Scoble "Send them this URL and they will be walked through the process" then you know it's there.
And you know what? One day, it'll get there. I know it's their goal. But they're not there yet.
