I didn't know you got one too, Joe. (Have I not been paying attention? probably not.)

I have a bad feeling I'm going to end up keeping both.

It does take getting used to for sure.

I also find lots of little things that I love about it (since I didn't read the manual, these are as I discover them.) For example, there's a little green blinking light that tells you that there's a notification (email, tweet, chat, etc.)

Cool stuff.

Waiting a bit is always good, if you can do it. Clearly I cannot.

I outlined it more thoroughly in my own post today, but as to how the Lists can be scammed more easily than even following? Only if you're willing to go through and see if 1) the lists are all by different accounts and 2) they are all positive lists (is Chris on 50 good lists or 50 negative lists? or maybe 25 of each?) then will it be useful. Putting the number on peoples' profiles indicates it's a metric when it really isn't.

Makes sense... but think about all the time we're going to have to invest in maintaining these lists. I'd rather spend that time interacting with people. It's why I've never really managed to twig to the groups feature on 3d party apps - I just don't want to spend the time updating/maintaining them when I could be twittering! :)

I think I get that.

You know, before I got rid of them yesterday, you were the first person I added to my "People Who Make Me Think" list. You're still top of that list, even if it's not a formal "list" on Twitter any more.
I may not always agree with your conclusions but I do always find that you make me examine my own perspective and analysis and that more often than not, you add to my awareness.

I'm very honored to be on your follow list Robert, but I'm even more fortunate to follow you. You're the one who originally made me see the power of twitter and who you follow being more important than who follows you. I've learned a lot thanks to you the past couple of years.

Thanks Robert!

addendum:

Someone else (whom I won't name b/c it was a DM) just mentioned to me the fact that subjectivity plays a huge part in lists that cause issues.

Let's say I was making a list of "Social Media Thought Leaders" but (strictly hypothetically) I couldn't stand you Chris, or I always disagreed with your viewpoints. Am I likely to put you on the list because I know that you are, in fact, one of those leaders despite the fact that I don't want to follow or endorse you?

Lists are going to prove to be a bigger negative than a positive in the long run.

There are "shoulds" -- people *should* use lists to enlighten other users, they *should* not be offended or hurt if they are left off of a list... and there are realities -- people will use lists to manipulate, game the system, increase their perceived influence, troll, malign others and people will be offended and hurt if they feel left out by someone whom they care for or respect.

GeekMommy — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 01:24:38 -0000

Oh... now I'm wondering who else you left off of your complete lists? Popularity is not the same as accuracy.

Yep. I was curious what lists I was being included on... this lovely troll account popped up. Blocking it solved my issue - but this will become more and more common shortly.
Fun having to track that sort of thing down all the time, eh?
Would be particularly fun if that showed up on your Google search (not.)

Re: Don’t Buy The New Flip Mino!

@Tim

My personal preference is this:
for mobile video shooting or when I'm out with the family, I use my flip.

If I'm recording video for a product, I use my tape-based Sony camcorder (with all the "prosumer" attachments).

I haven't look at other things closely. Guess the bulk of my disposable income goes into my computer?

We will totally have a fully functional site just as soon as we can slow down long enough to let our creative team loose on it! Right now? We're busy focusing on our clients! :)

But trust me - when we get to us? It's going to be epic!

Wouldn't be a Top list without you guys Maggie! SMG rocks! :)

Think you're right on that one - know that Scott Monty & Julia Roy were working on that in NYC at the launch.

Agreed - it doesn't have to be in front of a group - the skills translate to the phone, videos, podcasts, meeting people, etc.

Re: Back to Disqus and Why?

jangro — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 10:30:47 -0000

Why, because of the spam?

"If "community" represents a means to you rather than an end, I'm not at all sure that you can ever really be rehabilitated" is one of the most resonating things I've read of late. Thank you.

Meh.

I pegged you as the favorite in the toilet race - good thing I didn't put any money on it.

I use it as a Twitter client as well as an aggregator. So very powerful!

thanks, Shawn.

Re: Whatever Happened to Affiliate Blogging?

samharrelson — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 19:01:05 -0000

Yeah, agreed there. I do think we'll see more folks blogging as things such as state tax laws continue to change the affiliate landscape, though.

Re: Jim Kukral is a Spammer

samharrelson — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 03:30:47 -0000

Nope, spamming your friends is still spam.

Consider this one permanent, tho. I'm creating a "Kukral Spam Filter" in
Yahoo Pipes that will take out your sponsored tweets that I'll post up here
for all of your affected friends.
