DISQUS

Scott: Truly one of the reasons why I did this. I am pumped to work with you, my man! I should have included it in the list.

Thanks for covering this, Jimmy!

I definitely agree that FriendFeed is for fans. It provides a unified stream that they can peruse. I personally do not enjoy it very much.

Yeah, I know Shel, and I don't think it was a ruse. He is seriously upset and humbled by this situation.

And no, Shel wasn't completely right. He shot bad video, reacted poorly when criticized, and fueled the situation, but since then he has owned his wrongs. It's time for Loren to drop the rock and do the same.

I am honored to be included in this list. Thanks, Jane. You are a wonderful woman, and I am glad to know you, too.

It's also interesting that you fail to mention major events like PodCamp DC, Bar Camp DC, BlogPotomac as well as the Social Media Club efforts underway. Ironic when your speaking requests for an event with a set line-up were turned down. Perhaps its just coincidence. Perhaps not.

If you want to create an umbrella, then you need to be inclusive. Otherwise significant majorities of the community will not support this effort. I'd also suggest cross-linking a lot more, fellas. No cross-links is inherently anti-social. See Doc Searls on this (you know, the guy that wrote the ClueTrain Manifesto).

Neither. Just guys like me keep using it for those reasons.
