1. If I follow you and retweet you you'll have an impact. - Robert Scoble

1, if that person can effect change. - Ben Jackson via twhirl

Amen, brother. Scoble's retweets are the juice. - John McCrea

Scoble - laughing at your comment. @chrisbrogan has had a similar effect w/ me in the past. One mention and voila, many new followers. @Louis, I'd say that you start to hit critical mass at 100 but they obviously have to be the right 100. At 500-1,000, you can start to get some very effective research/survey results from your followers. - Aaron Strout

John, you don't even need one follower, thinking about it. The world is moving to http://search.twitter.com so you can get found with very few followers there. - Robert Scoble

+10 Scoble - imran

Thanks Mr. Scoble. I just found someone to chat with about my executive dashboard project. - Mattb4rd

Robert: so true. I am addicted to Twitter search. It is vital to my work (and fun). - John McCrea

@Aaron, this is not a post I wrote, but one from Mukund at BuzzGain. And yes, I agree that Twitter Search is more important than Twitter's Web interface at this point. - Louis Gray

I'll have to agree with Scobleizer - I visit Twitter Search more than Twitter itself these days. I learn way more from that interface. - Chris Luckhardt

Haven't we been here before. 1st we all create content. Then, Search organizes the content. I suppose "Twitter Words" is next? - Alan Edgett

Funny how often I've been asked the EXACT same questions. We've been having a nice discussion about this as well (1.6k views and 70 comments now) around a great article that was written by a member. http://tinyurl.com/3h8mdz - Leif@Biznik

None - they all spend so much time reading twitter (and FF :) ) that nothing gets done! - Chris

On who? - Warner Crocker

depends on targeted/anticipated impact and target audience. - Hayk

@Scoble - technically one, but realistically I have to go with @aaron - Mukund

The real question is, how many twitter followers does it take to change a lightbulb? - Jan Dawson

The Amazon link is a bait/switch, it's for an N90 (35mm camera) not the D90. ;-) - cmiper

grrrr.. is that right cmiper? it said they had one left. I'll have to try to search for it someplace else. - Thomas Hawk

Regardless of your brand... this means all sorts of win for the consumer :) - Johnny Worthington

@Thomas - They do have a listing for D90, it's atleast 100$ less then the cost quoted in your blog post (for version with Kit) and less than 1000$ for non-kit body only version. - Yuvi (has IRL friends!)

ok, looks like the price is actually $999.95 on Amazon, but that it is out of stock. I fixed that link. I'll go check over to see if there are any available at B&H. - Thomas Hawk

hmm. B&H isn't showing a listing for the D90 yet. I guess it will probably be a few days before these start showing up for sale. - Thomas Hawk

John, you are absolutely right. This is a huge win for the consumer, video and geotagging now raises a new bar. I will be very interested in what Canon brings to the table with the new 5D likely to be announced at photokina next month. - Thomas Hawk

Also, I'm wondering how GPS will work when you want to use another flash in the hotshoe (the GPS addon plugs in to the hotshoe) - Yuvi (has IRL friends!)

Ok, the Nikon Press release confirms the $999.95 price point: http://www.imaginginsider.com/... - Thomas Hawk

Hmm...didn't realize it had GPS. That certainly makes it more intriguing. - Matt

GPS is *awesome* it would save me a lot of time having to manually geotag my photos. This is some of the best camera tech news I've seen in a while. - Thomas Hawk

GPS is software along w/ optional add-on, by the way. - Michael Schuermann

Wow, great intro vid. I wonder if it's worth switching to Nikon... - Michael

phenomenal! The video was so cool and the Blakes rock. Now to convince the girlfriend to buy the camera! - Randy Ksar

Michael, I wouldn't until at least Photokina :) - Johnny Worthington

@Micheal - GPS on the unit apparently uses EXIF, so Flickr and co should be able to pull those up without much trouble. - Yuvi (has IRL friends!)

Ha, like I can even afford the 5D now... I did just get some new Canon Lenses though. - Michael

As a long time Canon user (i had an A2 SLR) I've been pretty jealous of the Nikons since last year. It seems Nikon has really stepped up to the plate, and Canon isn't answering. I'm not going to go switching my gear or anything, as I have the lenses, but still...I guess this tit-for-tat is pretty typical and in a year Canon will have some of these killer features. - Todd

GPS with auto geotagging is something that willbe needed before I upgrade from my 20D. Lots I good features already but nothing had come out yet to make it worth my money to upgrade yet. - Dean Clark

Time to upgrade the D70s - Eric @ CS Techcast

@yuvi... the GPS unit is not required to mount on the hot shoe. That is purely for convenience. I would prefer to have it attached to my strap, which could easily be done with a rubber band, or even a bicycle inner tube. - Neil Bernhart

This is screaming to stream video live to the web....maybe bluetooth connection to a smartphone? - Jamie Ginsberg

@Jamie Just wait for a revision (if it needs one) of the EyeFi SD-Card :) - Holger Eilhard

Looks like time to start saving - Zach Chisholm

want. - Sean Oliver

Thx for the heads up ... I placed an order, hope that this'll be a backup body for a d3x (or at least the d700) someday not-all-that-far-away ;-) Actually that sounds like a great combination for a lot of stuff - a solid full-frame with the right glass for the situation, and the d90 with that really handy nikon 18-200 to catch everything else. - Bob Lozano

Video is cool, but don't know how much I'd really use it. I'm hoping the new 5D will have built in GPS / Geo tagging also. - Jeff P. Henderson

FYI - D90 GPS is NOT included. The D90 is simply compatible with the GPS that Nikon will begin selling in November. This GPS is also compatible with the D200, D300, D700 and D3. Still looks like a cool camera. - gfurry

Included GPS would be awesome. Really hoping that Canon comes up with something good. - Jauder Ho

@jauderho I hope so too. Canon had an early lead in the prosumer DSLR market and just doesn't seem to be innovating as much lately. The 50D is just not compelling me to upgrade my 30D. - Andy Denmark

The 5D coming out next month at photokina had better be damn good is all I can say. I'm planning on buying one so I'm hoping it will at least have geotagging capability. - Thomas Hawk

just like microsoft does now. - Caroline via twhirl

whoa that sucks. - C. K. Sample III via twhirl

It's OK to trust the cloud... as long as you have a backup of your mail, contacts, calendar, docs, pics... you get the idea. - Bill Sodeman

Meh, create your own cloud. VPS is inexpensive enough that you can do it on the cheap. - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)

scary, is he back in yet? - Gavin Knight

oh thats bad... i guess backing up data is the priority now. - slax

What a nightmare! - Benedikt Koehler

And I was just going on & on about how running "apps" on your "computer" and generating "files" was going the way of the dodo bird, and all about web apps, the cloud... etc. My friend said "what if they did something with your data?" and I reply "what could they possibly do?" Ug. - Dean Terry

wow, that'S bad - Martin Spindler via twhirl

FOG - not a bad thing to have. Had a similar issue when "Teh GOOG" thought my wife was a spammer because she has a lot of people to communicate with. Send email, deafening silence. Please, pretty please, let me back in, deafening silence. Wait a week, maybe, hopefully someone will take a look at it. It helps my perspective on these issues to think that primarily Google isn't a company, it's an algorithm. Love what they create, but they're a little short on customer service. - Todd McKinney

Scary stuff - Shey

i wish the story was more clear on what activities this 'Nick' was doing with his Google tools before the problems occured. we all click right through the long-winded EULA legal-eagle language when signing up for lots of these services...maybe he was violating the Terms of Use. - .LAG

@Scobleizer has been banned from China http://lin.cr/10u - Igor The Troll

This totally freaks me out because I've seen that same message a couple times. All of a sudden, I go to my Gmail tab that I left open and it has logged me out. I put in my password and it then asks me to do a CAPTCHA. Then I get the message. I refresh the page though and it's all good again - it lets me login. However, when it happened, I was near panicking for a minute. What's going on, I wonder? I think maybe I should switch but switching email is *HARD*. Time to turn on automatic forwarding though? - Sarah Perez

@Sarah Perez: Just setup Thunderbird and have it POP to Gmail. Instant downloaded Gmail backup. - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)

The thing that could and should save him is the additional storage. He has a transaction record with his (assumed) credit info on it. He should be able to get somewhere with that. The fact Google did not recommend a course of action involving that upon conclusion of their investigation sucks belly button lint. - Michael W. May

Google owns me too. I have almost all of my email accounts collected into one GMail account. My GMail goes back to 2004 but other mail in there is older than that. If this happened to me I'd be devastated. Google really needs to respond to this. I'm not feeling really safe right now. - Kenya

Nick posted in the comments that he got back into his account. http://www.chrisbrogan.com/whe... - Gregor Morrill

@Stupid blogger: Good idea! - Sarah Perez

@SarahP - if you have a spare flash drive, try the portable apps version. You'll have a backup you can take anywhere. - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... - Brian Sullivan

As I said in my comments, if you are paying for Google Apps -- pick up the phone and call them with your support number from the support screen you should have printed when you signed up for service as a PAYING customer like you would for any bill with a utility company. Did I miss something or gloss past this somewhere in the writeup Chris or was there no phone call placed to Google Apps support? http://www.chrisbrogan.com/whe... - qthrul

I have my Gmail setup to forward everything to an alternate backup account at dreamhost, where in theory I have 300GB of space available. It's come in handy every once in a while when Google's servers act up. - Carlos Granier-Phelps via twhirl

So, nothing was mission critical, but still. Think how many services you can't use if you lose your g-account. Gmail, docs, calendar, picasa, etc. It's not trivial. - Chris Brogan

I commented on the blog post, but I'll say it here too: "I’m glad that Nick got his account back. The system to recover your account asks you to try to remember information to prove that it’s you instead of a hacker, but I believe it still lets you recover your account much faster than the previous system that Google used." - Matt Cutts

P.S. One difference between Google and many other companies is with Google you can back up your email for free and easily. If you want to back up all your data in your Google Account, the Google Operating System blog did a nice summary post about how to do it: http://googlesystem.blogspot.c... . At least with Google you can pretty much pull all of your data out and back it up. - Matt Cutts

thanks @mattcutts. good stuff. - Christian Anderson

@Matt - thanks for commenting and for your ideas. It wasn't the Gmail account that was the biggest part. It was the fact that without THAT account, he was locked out of All Things G (don't tell Walt and Kara). That's way more tricky than missing an email or something. Right? - Chris Brogan

I think the key to safety here is diversity of services everyone relies on plus back up - a desktop client for Gmail, regular export of OPML, etc. - Svetlana Gladkova

This is horrrrrible!!! - Alexis

Another lock-out here: mine just got canned sometime between 9a and 11a EDT. Luckily it's a new account w/ no data, but still... - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)

I hope everyone scrolls down to read the comments instead of running way scared. :) - Marcel

I blogged about some interesting options for moving our data out of corporate control and back into the cloud. This is something I've advocated for years, great to see the discussion here. http://theprogressbar.com/arch... - Dave Evans

@Chris, there's several ways to look at this. If you're worried about losing data if an account is disabled, it's easy to back-up almost any data associated with your Google Account (see my previous comment about how to do that). If you're worried about not being able to use All Things G with the disabled account, you could always create a new account to access Google services. On the third hand, if you're worried about the actual disable-ing and how to correct that, there are good ways. - Matt Cutts

What about people who share stupid ideas? Like Free Enegery, most conspiracy theories, many political statements, etc etc... - Friend Feed's Tad

Robert, I like this and totally agree :) - directeur via NoiseRiver

Tad: even those people are still smarter than people who tell you about what Britney Spears did last night. - Robert Scoble

You could replace "celebrities" in that sentence with "names of people". In other words, it's ideas and concepts that are important, not egos. Even "nobodies" can have egos. Narcissism shuts out the world beyond the self, we can't learn if we are always holding up a mirror, never looking beyond it. - Jason Wehmhoener

My dad once told me that even the dumbest person in the world can teach you something because he probably knows something you don't. - Jason Shultz via twhirl

Smart people listen more than they talk. - Randy Hall

To me the smart people are those that make a well-reasoned argument for and idea and then do two things. 1. Have the guts to put it out there to the world and 2. Have the guts to change their mind if they're wrong (or hold their ground when they know they're right) - Morgan

I think it all depends on the topic you're discussing. I'd say someone is smart if she can engage with you on the discussion and make you think about it from a different angle. - Bruno Pedro

Jason: it's one thing if I tell you "Doug Engelbart had dinner at the Ritz last night." It's a whole nother thing if I tell you "Doug Engelbart told me that xxxx idea is interesting and he's working on making that better." - Robert Scoble

I absolutely agree, Randy. - Jack Carlson

Duncan for example is a smart guy, but still talks about celebrities, so it's possible to do both and still be smart - Dobromir Hadzhiev

Which reminds me I need to talk to you about an 'idea' at blogher. ok. not really...more about which cam to get for the conventions. lol - Erin Kotecki Vest

I agree... This is especially obvious here in LA... although sometimes the celeb mention is the nature of the business -- or at least mention of -- as Calacanis would say -- "webebrities." - Andy Sternberg

Jason: that's true. I have yet to meet someone who is able to communicate (I have a friend with a mentally retarded son who isn't able to communicate, so we'll leave him out of this) who I couldn't learn something from. Randy: exactly. When I fail as an interviewer it isn't because I'm listening, it's probably cause I'm talking. - Robert Scoble

Andy: when you talk to the smartest people in Hollywood they talk to you about ideas. Trends. People's work. They don't talk about "I saw Tom Cruise at dinner last night" or "did you see what they said about Oprah in the tabloids?" - Robert Scoble

Robert: I agree. The point I was trying to make is that we can learn something from almost everybody, even those who we may think know less then us. - Jason Shultz via twhirl

I think one can be smart and still talk about "Weird Al" Yankovic, because he's smart. - MiɳiMagɘ (Sexy Scimitar) via NoiseRiver

Dobromir: Duncan's best work is when he talks about ideas. That's why I love Duncan, cause he tells me who has the most interesting ideas, and he's very willing to debate ideas (I've debated a few with him). - Robert Scoble

I think people can be both highly intelligent and pretty stupid at the same time. Robert Anton Wilson said it better than I can, "When dogma enters the brain, all intellectual activity ceases." And that doesn't apply to just religious dogma - any kind including political, scientific, cultural, etc. - Friend Feed's Tad

Robert Anton Wilson++ - Jason Wehmhoener

this is a cool thread! we need a lightbulb "intelligence meter" on FF - users vote on how smart you are based on your posts... bulb gets brighter with more votes! - Susan Beebe

Susan: fantastic idea! Now that's smart. - Bruno Pedro

I have a theory that being smart is simply a matter of the attention that you give somthing. Granted, Nobel Prize winning physicists dont grow on trees. - Roberto Bonini

smart to me is someone who knows what they know but more importantly knows what they don't know - too many intelligent people who never make it to smart because they are too busy broadcasting what they know - Marco (aureliusmaximus)

That would give credence to the old saying “if smarts was electricity that boy couldn’t light up a 10 watt bulb. “ - Earl E Morningwood

Social media is about inclusion, don't alienate too much with your labels and boxes - Michael W. May via twhirl

I've found smart people treat being smart like fight club: rule number one is you don't talk about being smart. Rule number two is you don't talk about being smart. To Jason Wehmhoener's point, smart people don't spend their time making a point of how they're wrapped up in smart things or "look what a good person I am for talking to x or doing y." - Mark Trapp

Smart people usually start talking by conditioning everything - and the first condition is for them to say they are not an expert ... - LPH™

How do you know that someone isn't smart? - Michael J. Cohen (mjc) via twhirl

Smart folks understand questions are important, they are not afraid to admit ignorance and appreciate that learning is a process not an event. - Dave Martin

LPH: hmmm, the ultra smart like Douglas Engelbart (who really is the true visionary I've spent time with) just paint pictures in your mind of how the world will be someday. He never said he was expert at something, just talked about how this new world would work. I could listen to that guy for hours. At 82 he's easily the smartest person I've met. - Robert Scoble

Michael: that's an interesting question. The biggest way I've found? The only skill not smart people have is in ripping down other people's ideas, or, worse, trying to rip down other people altogether. - Robert Scoble

Robert, put it another way: smart people talk about the world that could be, not that the world that is? - Mark Dykeman

"No one who cannot rejoice in the discovery of his own mistakes deserves to be called a scholar." - Donald Foster - Roberto Bonini

Smart people simply can get the job done faster and pay attention to the hidden details that others would miss. I still don't know how to best test for it, though. - Ben Parr

smart people are visionaries, humble and most likely pious too. Take a look at the peoples who are deemed as being smart. These are some of the comman attributes of these type of people.! - Peter Dawson

I think it can go both ways-Charlie Rose talks about both-ideas are great, but what is with the people behind those ideas - that's very interesting! I also think its a natural human instinct to talk about others - it depends on the context. "I saw Tom Cruise last night" is the lowest common denominator. Inquiring about the dynamic of Shell's latest barrage of public vitriol and the work ethic of others in the Valley are spurned from natural human curiosity that we all share, whether we ask it or not. - james svenson

+1 for Paul - Steven Hodson

Robert: ”Smart” here as different from ”Intelligent” – I have one story that will help us out here to identify a smart person. I had a friend at high school that knew he was not that intelligent, but he was smart: - he used to research old exams to see what the previous year tests would possibly cover on the upcoming exams. He used to collect all class notes from the top “dedicated” colleagues that were willing to share the notes. He would then select the top 10 of about 20 topics that could come up on the exams. This guy passed always and with the minimum needed to advance. What he did in my opinion was that he OPTIMIZED all his capacity to achieve one goal and that as it. He knew his weakness so well that he found ways to overcome them. He went from high school to university and to MBA: he travel to Europe for about a year and returned to get the job he wanted. - Joao

@susanbeebe: I dunno, I'd feel pretty hurt when the system took away my lightbult entirely. - MiɳiMagɘ (Sexy Scimitar) via NoiseRiver

@regila: all this for a "bob"? ;-) - directeur via NoiseRiver

I remember my dad once telling me what Eleanor Roosevelt said... "Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people." - Brian Sloane

the first sign that someone is really smart... they will tell you they're not but they will show you they are. - Scott Lockhart

I'm not saying I'm particularly smart, but I truly find celeb gossip one of the most uninteresting things I can think of. - Ian May

I think that smart people are the people that get things done. Imagine two people that have never heard or met each other and both of them come up with the exact same brilliant idea. One person brings the brilliant idea to a reality, while the other person doesn't. Which person is smarter? - possible248 via NoiseRiver

Plug for the "highfalutin" room: http://friendfeed.com/rooms/hi... if you want to talk about things with depth - Ňicķ

maybe true...but everyone is smart in their own right. you might be a social media whiz but not know anything about putting in kitchen cabinets. I'm a firm believer that everyone has their sweet spots in terms of knowledge. The really smart ones, just take the time to expand that sweet spot so it's more than just a spot and more like an area. - Don Martelli

I think a smart person can talk about both. That way he/she can converse with all people and not make anyone feel less smart than them. - Adrienne Van Houten

Adrienne: I agree with that. But smart people never start out that way. - Robert Scoble

What an awful generalization. That's how I know when someone is smart. When he doesn't make an implied generalization like "stupid people talk about celebrities". - Jay Cruz

smart people think through questions and give full answers. who talks to you about angelina jolie? i agree anybody asking scoble about that is "not as intelligent," but probably nice people...unless they have no idea who you are....maybe they ask you these questions: "is veronica belmont really cute in person? or is kevin rose really a ladies man?" however, smart people are not always smart in all aspects of their lives... - Pokai

"Smart people talk about ideas. Common people talk about things. Mediocre people talk about people." -Jules Romains - Joe Lencioni

@Jay: You spelled know wrong. - Daniel Smith

For the record, that was a joke ;) - Daniel Smith

Thank's @Daniel Smith - Jay Cruz

You know when someone is smart when they know what they're talking about and they have a good understanding. "Smart" people grasp things better and/or have ideas. - Kevin Porter via twhirl

Smart is not about opinions ("Stupid ideas"). You can be smart and have different beliefs. I'm wondering if they are "smart" conversations or just engaging conversations. I'm much more interested in sharing ideas than sports scores, gossip, or transitory circumstances. - Barb Gonzalez

Ugh. Most of these comments seem to prescribe behavior to those who are "smart" - one of the only commonalities I've ever seen of truly smart people is that they make their own rules. To say they only talk about X not Y or they listen more than they talk or any other behavioral observation misses the mark with me. Smart people don't subscribe to other peoples' ideas of what they should be. - Lucretia Pruitt

Smart people realize how little they know but have no need to try and convince others that they know a lot. - Dossy Shiobara

Scoble, no one is "smart" or an "expert." It doesn't really matter at all. The only thing that matters is how people preceive someone to be. My blog, http://onlyjames.com/ is constantly growing, so I believe people to think I am smart. Then again, I might be a complete nutcase. :D - James Mowery via twhirl

I think you can define smart a few different ways as well. I think the question you're really asking is "How to determine if someone is INTELLIGENT?" - David

I have noticed that they seem less likely to urinate in their pants than the general population - Seth Shapiro

I wish I understood this. - Michael Markman

Takes a long time of knowing someone and seeing how they react under differents sets of circumstances. People are smart in some ways, but not in others. - Francine Hardaway via twhirl

When I hear the word "celebrity" I now think of Sarah Austin's Pop17 which come to think of it Robert, you have never acknowledged that I know of. Her site is about a new kind of celebrity. For her, and for me, the interesting celebrities are people who become famous because of their outstanding work. And she does not attempt to ask about shallow tips or favorite colors, but rather about their work. The people she tends to interview are micro-celebrities small in size, but important. - Andrew Baron

Smart people don't brag about how they can recognize smart people. - Rutger Blom

I enjoy people who talk about other change-makers in the world. People who point me towards amazing & influential musicians, dancers, physicists, politicians, chefs, etc... Sometimes the geek-world is a little heavy on ideas. I enjoy hearing about the life history & paths of unusual chemists, religious leaders, and environmentalists. Just as some of my friends have more "aesthetic sense" than others, some are unusually attuned to remarkable people, and some to innovative ideas. - Mitchell Tsai

smart people just know - Pokai

@ Scoble, once again you've hit a collective nerve with this thread. it goes back to what makes us human? "i'm not human without you"- Desmond Tutu re: Umuntu http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U... communities like friendfeed should be a place where we explore these types of questions, there is enough pablum out in this world already, thanks for pursuing this line of questioning. - Nice Fish Films

I have an idea in that I'd love to get Britney Spears on Twitter - I think that would do wonders for her career. ;) - Jesse Stay

Is smart a measurement of intelligence or emotional quotient? One's intelligence is measured and quantified, like it or not, whether intelligence is synonmous with smart, that maybe another question. One can have emotional quotient as well i.e. street smarts and it too is measurable. Intelligence is not dribble. Intelligence, for me, is the generation of ideas with vision followed by implementation. Intelligence has many forms as well albeit plasticity or crystallized. Good nature versus nurture question. - ka3drr

I'll answer with this: the people's intelligence that I most desire and respect are the ones who are able to bring reality to the "out of the box" ideas they have. Plenty of people can speculate, but very few have the competence to bring a good idea to the rest of us. - Tony

depressingly true... - Stephen Roberts

I still have no clue who these A-listers are that people talk about but I'm interested in ideas both from other people and also sharing ones I come across. Celebrities? Phooey, give me an original thinker any day. - Sally Church

Pop culture aficionados are not necessarily stupid. I think the smartest people can carry on a conversation about nearly anything, and like it or not popular culture is a great source of inspiration for many ideas. - Lindsey

Hmmm, how about... Methinks "smart people" think about having conversations with people (aka "intellectual celebrities") with whom they can talk about ideas and... Sigh... It still goes back to Howard Bloom: http://users.ucom.net/~vegan/P... —I'm a Zen Buddhist, but I still do think "God" is fair... As in, I can brainstorm pretty well, yes, but I'd die in the Aussie outback if you put me there. :P - kwok heng

Thats a great observation. If only we could make those ideas a reality :) You are a fun guy to talk about ideas with. - Christian Burns

Is this where we talk about Paris Hilton ? - Eric Berlin

Eric: my niece says Sean Faris is hot. I don't even know who that is. Off to the Google for me! :-) - Robert Scoble

I think I have a trump card. go look at The Inquisitr..there's some pretty intelligent posts on there and, also talk about celebrities. You can tell someone you are talking to is smart by the way they treat the subject at hand and, how they deliver their portion of the conversation. - Candace Holly

This is now providing hours of endless entertainment for me and my wife. - Eric Asberry
