Tiesto was in States last week. I know he performed at a few concerts in New York. I'm not sure if he is touring the US
- Dennis Bjørn Petersen
I have seen Tiesto in concert twice. Now that I'm married, I go clubbing much less, but I firmly believe the world would be a much better place if there were a constant backbeat of techno. That's what is always in my head anyway. :)
- Louis Gray
No I remember! A few years ago I think, some of your blog posts mentioned Tiesto and Paul van Dyk. Well even Steven Hodson recommended you a few I believe. This reminds me that I really need to update my last.fm profile. Its still playing xmas songs.

Lol @ Brian...good one ;)
- Dennis Bjørn Petersen
That's what open microblogger should be. Twitter should be an implementation of that, not the other way around. It should be decentralized OR they should get their act together OR they should be purchased by someone who will.

What platform is Twitter using again :?
- Jason Nunnelley
Jason, Twitter's using the Twitter platform - not sure what you mean

Hilerious Louis.....
- Roberto Bonini
from iPhone
Jesse, I'm trying to pick on the framework underneath. But, I actually don't know if they're still messing with Rails.
- Jason Nunnelley
Twitter's problem is an issue of priority, if you consider their downtime a failure. I don't. I think it's working out just fine for them. The more they go down, the more people realize they're addicted and continue to use the service. They've almost proven downtime doesn't hurt growth.
- Jason Nunnelley
Jason, I think that's a mistake for them to have that attitude. I use Twitter less and less the more they go down, and the more of these shenanigans they keep pulling, both as a developer and user
- Jesse Stay
Jesse, not to be a jerk (and I know I'm a broken record), but I assure you they don't care.
- Jason Nunnelley
Jason, that's okay - I'm a broken record in trying to get them to care. :-) I do know they're listening though (I've been on a panel with Doug Williams and Ryan Sarver, and chat with Alex and others frequently via e-mail), and they'll apply the things that make the most sense to them, or at least that they're allowed to implement by management and their investors.
- Jesse Stay
My hope is my "complaints" are constructive though. I've included a lot of information and suggestions with those complaints, so they can take them as they please - it's not my business in the end, but I'll share the knowledge I have at least.
- Jesse Stay
Maybe I should use the Twitter page less and TweetDeck or Seesmic more...
- Dennis Jernberg
Dennis, it's an API vs. web interface toss up. There's no doubt their biggest problem is with the web interface, but I've had API fail also. So long as you just want to read tweets, the API seems to be the best route, meaning Seesmic/TweetDeck, etc. seem to work best.

What will the blackhat SEO experts, the SM spammers, and the social media experts do during a widespread outage? The answer is obvious: While sitting out the crisis they're fine-tuning their methodology. Seriously, your question offends me. There's a gazillion of SEO experts out there who do not abuse social media.
- Sebastian
Sebastian there can't be a gazillion SEO experts! What's 10,000 keywords times 20?? (and that's being generous!)
- Arleen Anderson
Would a social media expert consider it to be a crisis? If they rely so heavily on just one or two tools that it's enough to throw them into a tizzy, their expert status would seem to me to be ... questionable, at best.
- Gord McLeod
Agreed.
- Greg
Arleen, 10,000 keyword phrases times 20 is a tiny fraction of the search terms that are worth optimizing for. Think of the long tail. Also, consider lots of webmasters and even publishers / site owners / bloggers / Web developers ... SEO experts who are able to optimize their stuff quite successfully but don't sell or publish their expertise. Many of them, and even many SEO consultants, do make sensible use of social media, as plain users.
- Sebastian
Gord, in a social media spammer's book 2 hours of outage, IOW 2 hours w/o sales from sneakily distributed links to questionable sales pitches, can sum up to way more than a good day's beer money. ;) However, "crisis" might be a term too strong for this potential loss.

Yo @nicolaquinn & @vanWilgenburgh here is why I'm unfollowing everyone:
Matthew Blaisdell, Chris Clayton, news2me and 27 other people liked this
1. Too much spam in DMs.
- Robert Scoble
2. Too much noise on my home page (I was following 100,000 and there was less and less stuff there that was interesting to me).
- Robert Scoble
3. FriendFeed has gotten WAY MORE engagement lately than Twitter has. So I'm moving even more over there.
- Robert Scoble
4. I was using http://www.twitter.com/notsecr... and finding that I liked that approach a LOT better (inbound is more important than anything, and when you hand choose the inbound it gets both a lot more fun as well as a lot more interesting).
- Robert Scoble
I think it makes sense, you essentially were following no one with 90k. As you said about Aston K, anyone with less than 200 follows is where the real value is.
- James Watters
James: yeah, actually I've found that most people will less than 2,000 follows have value. Anyone who tries to follow more than that is fooling themselves. Actually I can follow more, but only if grouped together and even then I'm getting a random sample, not a close sample.
- Robert Scoble
Yeah that makes eminent sense. I'm having trouble keeping up with only around 2000 followers.
- Nicola Quinn
Agreed on the noise, even with 1000+ it's hard to keep up with friends and close ones.
- evonne
You hear a lot more with less followers. I only follow about 260 and that's enough for me. With @mentions, you don't need to follow people to engage with them.
- Steve Farnworth
Robert: Right, as long as you don't have like 1k constant posters in there I agree. I think its fun to follow less people have have twitter 'buddies'
- James Watters
I understand your logic I believe there is a better way to get rid of unwanted noise than throw everyone out
- RetiredTeacherD
Will be interesting to see how this works out, like the innovator part of it though
- Patphelan
And being spammed by people who aren't even following you is downright rude.
- Nicola Quinn
There seems to be a big push for quality (less follows, blogging) going on in mr Scoble #cool
- James Watters
It feels odd saying this when people are talking about 1000's of followers but even with just about 200 followers i find that it sometimes gets difficult to keep up
- Bhowmik Shah
Do u really unfollow everyone, I mean, by clicking manually on every of your 50k users?
- Marcus Schuler
Funny - people agree now... They would've agreed that the way forward was following everyone six months ago! How many here follow less than 2,000 people?
- Scott Gould
Dear god I hope he scripted it through the API, I sure would.
- James Watters
Marcus: I am running a script from SocialToo that is unfollowing everyone.
- Robert Scoble
ah....okay....I thought...... :-)
- Marcus Schuler
I've often wondered how anyone following so many people can get any value from Twitter. Why not just watch the public timeline?
- Mark Meyer
from iPhone
Most people do respond to their @replys so following everyone is not as important as I think it used to be. I have gotten lots of great response from just @'s I like keeping my number in the 400's to be able to see what is going on.
- Luke Kilpatrick
If people still following you then what's the problem? I also agree with Mark Meyer enough is enough.
- claire adams
I read every tweet of everyone I follow.
- James Watters
I think following, strictly speaking, should be a two-way ranked thing. If people are having *conversations* @reply or direct then I think following is fair. Anything one-sided, i.e. marketing, self promotion, celebs etc just devalues things. You need to be rewarded for active social grouping.
- Justin Howard
Mark: believe it or not, but the public timeline still had about 4x more noise (1/4 signal) of my 100,000 person feed.
- Robert Scoble
I also think with 'mentions' now it's not quite so important to be following everyone as you can see and respond to references or messages to you.
- Nicola Quinn
Nicola: mentions is nice, but the last thing I use twitter for is to learn about me. I want to see industry thoughts as they are born, so I think its important to read each person I follow carefully.
- James Watters
From time to time it's necessary to do a twitter clean-up. That's why I think Twitter interface should change a bit and allow us to choose many followers to delete them.
- Jordi Soler
Robert, if you haven't seen this, check out this post on Jim Connoly's blog - http://jimsmarketingblog.com/2009... He did something similar at the begining of the year.
- Liviu Lica
James, I'm not sure that's the best place to do that anymore, what with all the 'Make money from Twitter' spam about. And that's not what I use it for. Plus I do read as many of my 2000 followers messages as I can!
- Nicola Quinn
Funny. This is what I said back when people like Guy Kawasaki said "follow everyone". How do you truly add to the conversation and continually engage with certain people by only responding to @replies and keyword searches. That means you are almost trying to predict conversations.
- Daniel Zarick
from iPhone
Liviu: yeah, I remember being jealous of Jim, even while thinking he was wrong. Turns out I was wrong.
- Robert Scoble
Nicola: Are we confusing 'follows' and followers? I NEVER autofollowed...I follow personally 175 people and read them all is my point; how many people are following me is a different question right?
- James Watters
Is http://www.refollow.com unworkable with a larger amount of people?
- Justin Howard
lol takes a big man to admit he was wrong Robert :)
- Nicola Quinn
Using t4bp.com you can pretty easily follow up to 500 - beyond that gets paged. Also, like others here, I find beyond about 500 you can't really "follow" them. I don't even watch the real-time timeline of those I follow anymore. It would be a full-time job!
- Glenn
Please explain why my # of followers relates to the # of people I follow :)
- James Watters
@Scott i follow less than 250
- Bhowmik Shah
James I don't auto follow. And I won't follow those who are obviously using those hideous bots to do their following. Must admit there have been few I have chosen to follow back recently.
- Nicola Quinn
Nicola: thanks. I guess to me twitter is a great place to 'read' so every day I"ll prune and maintain the list of people I follow regardless of who follows me.
- James Watters
Robert: You were NOT wrong to not to copy me, when I reset my account in January. It's always best to wait and see if something is the right ft for you first. Props for doing this Robert - I will blog about your experiences later on The Tech News Blog!
- Jim Connolly
James, there see, I'm following you now cos I like your bio :)
- Nicola Quinn
Nicola, lol, which one FF or twitter :) But make sure I"m worth it!
- James Watters
It'd be great too if you could separate the people you follow in groups. One for the media, one for the people with whom you have conversations, one for your RSS feeds...
- Jordi Soler
Jordi: If you use a twitter client you can sort follows in different groups ;)
- Dennis Bjørn Petersen
Dennis: except that is VERY lame. What happens when a better client comes out? You are totally screwed.
- Robert Scoble
James, both, just done FF too. We'll have to see if you're worth it. There's always unfollow... :)
- Nicola Quinn
Dennis: I've tried Tweetdeck but I didn't like it that much. Which one would you recommend?
- Jordi Soler
Nicola, sweet, but yes unfollow quickly if I'm a waste of time. I hope you like cloud computing, its most of what I talk about. Kinda niche!
- James Watters
James, well I like clouds and computing, so we shall see :)
- Nicola Quinn
Robert: True. Tweetdeck support client sync, but I agree. Its more of a pseudo grouping and it doesn't really work well.
- Dennis Bjørn Petersen
Jordi: I'm using Tweetdeck as well. I used to use Twhirl, so getting used to Tweetdeck took some time. You could try with Seesmic Desktop which is similar to Tweetdeck. There really aren't any other clients that can compete with Tweetdeck or Seesmic Desktop
- Dennis Bjørn Petersen
Dennis: Seesmic Desktop Web would be the best choice if it was possible: being in the cloud, at least I wouldn't have to make the configuration in all of my computers. I'll wait and see...
- Jordi Soler
I tend to unfollow if the poster isn't posting anything useful, or if after 10 @replies they still haven't @replied back, or if it's just a publicity feed for some sleb updated not by them but by their PR team, essentially telling me nothing more than I'd get from the RSS feed off their agent's corporate website.
- Matt Moran
Welcome to the Small Numbers Game. It does not really matter if Twitter or FriendFeed is the "best" tool for you - as long as it is the best tool. Personally I do not "get" FriendFeed at all, and Twitter has become my primary tool for my interests.

Lol ur really going for it..I'm watching u slash ur follower list as I type. It's a veritable Twitter cleansing op.

I've tried going through my follower list with a hatchet knife but can't bring myself...

I agree with Bhowmik, I have just about developed the ability to follow two hundred. Turns out some of the people I think that I want to follow end up not so interesting. Gave up on the column/sorting Tweetdeck for Seesmic In-Browser and searches. Routinely toss out people I follow who are not so engaging in exchange for new ones. I applaud your mass dumping. Never understood the "courtesy follow". Probably only works for broadcasting commercial accounts.

First the great Twitter Spam Clean of last week and now this... much movement in The Force
- GadgetGuy
My way of minimising the noise is pretty lo-fi, but it works for me. Using the Twitter web interface I mark as Favorites tweets from people I either want to keep an eye on or who I regularly correspond with. Even better if I create a favorite entry that has multiple twitter accounts in the tweet. Like I said, a lo-fi Twitter bookmark-style solution.
- GadgetGuy
I wasn't sure if this post was going to be worth a "like," but the conversation covers some great points. This is really the reason that Friendfeed has more value than Twitter: the value in the conversations. For me, Twitter has almost become little more than a RSS aggregator, with very little real conversation. If you're not using Frindfeed because you don't "get it," then you're not subscribing to the right people, the right rooms, or the right searches.
- Chris Rogers

I'm following about 2000 people, but a lot of them are formal or informal news outlets and organizations that I'm interested in.

I also made a point of following people around the world so if something is happening...

- Dan York
Why would I want to follow anyone other than someone who has 'gained' my attention by being more interesting than distracting. If I follow you and you offer to make me rich, or say the same thing too many times ... you're blocked. If you want to follow me, then I'd better see interesting when I check you out.

"actually I've found that most people will less than 2,000 follows have value"...but you had more than 2,000 followers/ing and you had value, Robert! I subscribe to a lot of news/blog feeds on Twitter that have thousands & now millions of followers and I get a lot out of that.
- Liz
"actually I've found that most people will less than 2,000 follows have value"...but you had more than 2,000 followers/ing and you had value, Robert! There are some people/news/blog feeds that have a lot of followers but still provide great information even if one-on-one conversation isn't possible. By the way, go to @optmeout and follow the instructions if Auto-DMs are a problem...I hardly get any now.
- Liz
Amen! regarding spam in Twitter DMs. It's crazy. It's like everyone thinks it's their personal platform to pitch whatever stuff they're advertising. No, a DM is supposed to be the way to communicate directly with one person when you have something specific to say to that person. I hate the way it's been abused. I do not send out auto-DMs and I do not auto-follow.
- Colleen O'Donnell Pierce
Robert - you know my approach. FriendFeed is where I track my different worlds. Lists are fantastic, and search blows away Twitter and Google. I rely on keywords and @replies to manage Twitter.
- Hutch Carpenter
Robert, so sad to see you unfollowing so, so many people but I understand it. I'm approaching 600 people on TweetDeck and it is working for me so far...Definitely pushing the limits though! You definitely can't maintain close relationships with thousands and thousand of people but I would encourage you to think about Henry Ford who once said he could "press a button and get the wisdom...

- Holger Eilhard
I think I missed the answer to this one...why are you unfollowing people now? Is it only on Twitter or on all social media groups?
- Damond Nollan
Damond: only on twitter. Twitter has become overrun with spam and noise. It's a huge change from a year ago. Autofollowing made it worse (I tried to do that for DM reasons, but DMs now are full of spam). Anyway, this gets Twitter manageable for me again.
- Robert Scoble
will you be blogging about the experience? The impact it has, and what others could learn from it?
- Rob Sellen :o)
Holger, If Robert moved his account to a new username the old tweets and conversations would be moved - so social media indexes would be tossed. Twitter's archive is name based instead of serialized so changing your name removes all prior active tweet links from the system. Bad idea, eh?
- Jason Nunnelley
Earlier you mentioned why you followed over 100,000 twitter followers - http://friendfeed.com/search.... What did you or did not learn?
