Brogan is doing the most interesting thinking of social media, communities, conversations out there. - Robert Scoble

Wow. Thanks, Robert. : ) The thing is, I'm just not content with letting the conversation reside in "should Facebook buy Twitter" territory. I mean, no harm for folks covering that, but I want the bigger pie. Loved your umbrella brand idea. - Chris Brogan

Chris: I'm actually more of a social media fungus, truth be told. :-) The thing is, you can only start an avalanche one snowflake at a time. Can't do it faster and if you try, it'll drive you nuts. - Robert Scoble

It's really too bad that more blogs don't start conversations at 12:30 AM because I need something good to read. :) - Graham English

Graham: it's always 12:30 a.m. somewhere in the world. :-) - Robert Scoble

Great post Chris. Shifts perceptions a bit more than the usual articles. Got the gears turning. - Adam Helweh

Robert: That's why I've been thinking I need to subscribe to more international blogs. My Google Reader goes dead at 10PM. - Graham English

Graham: hmm, that sounds like a great blog post. FriendFeed users around the world. - Robert Scoble

Robert: Write it up and share the credit for inspiration. :) I've got a song to write... ♫ - Graham English

Robert - that's why I want to raise armies in 2009. The more flakes that I can muster, the faster the avalanche. Flakes.. heh. : ) - Chris Brogan

I'll be part of Brogan's army. Already I'm seeing growth doubling pretty quickly on FriendFeed. I think I won't be able to keep up next year. - Robert Scoble

genieyclo: good leaders follow. :-) - Robert Scoble

@genieyclo - the best leaders make the best soldiers, and vice versa. And as for the tune? Interesting thought. I'm so overtired that I have a blog post idea for the tune and how it works. - Chris Brogan
