Louis Gray

sanity? - Fred Grott

Maybe he's spending more time on FF and other social apps then blogging? Making videos? Spending time with family? Just a couple guesses. - Larry Kless via twhirl

nothing... - Josue Salazar

FriendFeed - Bwana

nothing. it's only one measure of influence and I see Robert on TechMeme fairly often. - Alex Hammer

Think that means he's carrying the water, conversation wise, for a lot of bloggers. - Christian Anderson via fftogo

That it is the 4th of July? - Mark Dykeman

the end of the blogosphere as we know it - Steven Hodson

Is it possible to transcend the A List? Perhaps he's now on a higher plane of existence, blogging wise. - Todd McKinney

It means he is spending more time here, Qik, FastCompany.tv and on Twitter. - Steve Rubel

Blogging is so 2007? I agree with S Rubel. - Russellreno

Gabe's tweaking ?? :) - Charlie Anzman

@Steve. Totally agree. - Dave Martin

It means his style of blogging has changed - he in many ways *is* the blog - the things he does and uses are the technologies to watch. - Jesse Stay

Apocalypse? - Andy Wibbels

The enormously famous and powerful don't blog. What percent of Davos alumni blog? It's not how they manage their reputations and celebrity. - Phil Wolff via Alert Thingy

that means FastCompany.tv became one of permanent sponsors - open your eyes - silpol

Louis - on an unrelated note, I am looking forward to see your athleticsnation.com rank on ballbug's leaderboard. - Atul Arora

Atul, AthleticsNation is run by Tyler Bleszinski. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A... (I am just there to help) - Louis Gray

It means I haven't been playing the game lately. I've been doing crappy blogging and spending almost all of my extra time on FriendFeed. - Robert Scoble

It also is interesting that we went to Washington DC, got some remarkable interviews, none of which have been on Techmeme yet. But here on FriendFeed they got lots of praise and discussion going. I could get on Techmeme, though, by writing something idiotic with some sensationalist headline that would get lots of bloggers to link to it. - Robert Scoble

I ONLY bring this up because Robert mentioned DC...but yeah...I mean hell, you could have sat down and done an entire interview - bringing your community's questions to people really in charge in DC from reps to senators to oh, heck, I don't know... Presidential candidates...and I bet ya techmeme wouldn't notice. Of course they'd be ALL OVER 'written' responses to other blogs. But some big old video exclusive...yeah, they would ignore that. ....lol. - Erin Kotecki Vest

Can't make the big bucks on Friendfeed, Robert, as much I like your activity on here. Don't want to see you relegated to some job that will keep you away from all this madness - Bjorn Tipling

Bjorn: you might be surprised. Companies want to get close to early adopters. Companies are sponsoring our shows not because we have large audiences but because we have early adopters and influencers. Of course FastCompany.tv is advertising on Techmeme, but mostly that's just me rewarding Gabe for adding a lot of value to my life over past few years. - Robert Scoble

"I could get on Techmeme, though, by writing something idiotic with some sensationalist headline that would get lots of bloggers to link to it." Scoble, you've hit the nail on the head. Life's too short for that. - Duncan Riley

That makes you a better man, mr Riley - Bjorn Tipling

I wrote my thoughts up here: http://scobleizer.com/2008/07/... - Robert Scoble

the end is here...;) - Jeremiah Owyang

I'm not really getting Roberts comments (and Duncan's either). Are you saying that it's not the Techmeme isn't linking to you, it's that you don't care about Techmeme? That before, you were creating content to specifically self-promote via that channel, but now you are getting paid for media that is based on early adopters and influencers and your personal brand marketing strategies have changed? Just wondering. - leigh himel

Leigh: the #1 way to get onto TechMeme is to talk about what's already on TechMeme. Note that my "waiting in line for iPhone is glorious" article is already at the top of TechMeme. How did that happen? I saw a headline on Techmeme, and wrote about it, but added something new. Those get onto Techmeme a LOT easier than some original thought that brings more value. So, if I stop reading Techmeme, or caring about it, yes, that TOTALLY makes it less likely I'll get onto it. - Robert Scoble

Being linked to a meme headline doesn't count in the leader board standings. So sure it would get you onto Techmeme but wouldn't affect your top 100 position. - leigh himel

He's back on the list #98. - Steve Rubel

Extremely interesting conversations going on here. If I had to choose between being entertained or growing/learning - I'd definitely pick the latter. - Sonciary Honnoll

I might add it's fun if you can accomplish both at the same time. :) - Sonciary Honnoll

As result - TechMeme's stagnation http://www.google.com/trends?q... - Igor Poltavskiy

The techmeme leaderboard is pointless? :) - Jason Kaneshiro
