McCain's people think that a) nobody will bother to look this shit up or b) even if they do it will not backfire to essentially say McCain has become the kind of man he's always hated. Man, why would anyone want this job....oh, that's right...the power to destroy the earth. - Patrick Berry

50 bloggers X 10000 twitter following requests.. twitter will be down soon :):) - Naor
Somebody make sure Playboy doesn't see that list. - Eric Schlissel via twhirl
Boo...No Sarah Perez or Corvida. But congrats to the ones I do follow: Veronica Belmont, Gina Trapani, Emily Chang, Leah Culver, & Justine Ezarik. - Mark Krynsky
There's always a few missing on these lists (especially niche bloggers including the above ... Ann Smarty, and Shana Albert) but this is an incredibly good list (with descriptions). Well worth exploring! - Charlie Anzman
Ditto Mark, plus congrats to our Tamar, and Amber MacArthur as well (fan of her stuff as well) - finally a list of females in tech and blogging that doesn't involve "sexiest" or "nakedest." - Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
no Perez Hilton? - Jamie
I added my mom in the comments: http://mymomsblog.blogspot.com... - Steve Garfield via twhirl
congrats veronica.... #33, 32.... top 10 soon? already topping twitter's right? - Pajama Domain
good list - sent to my blogger wife :) - mike "glemak" dunn
Could Perez Hilton handle all 140 characters? like, that's a lot! - Herb Myers
This was a great list. Added a few new blogs to Google Reader. - Sean Brady
What... no Cordiva? :-) - Andrew Dobrow
No Natali Del Conte either. Seems more like a "Female Bloggers Influential To Other Females" list. Not so much a list of bloggers that have appeal to men and women, except for some like Gina, Veronica, Cali, etc. - Jim Bergman
Well Female bloggers usually gets 'popularity' faster...but nice list. - Saad Kamal
I'm shallow… I only clicked on the hot ones. - Vincent van Wylick
hey where's SarahinTampa, Cordiva, Cyndy or Svetlana? - update list please! ;-) - Susan Beebe
I love your picture for this article. It looks fun. - tarraguna via twhirl
I'm just happy its up for discussion. - Erin Kotecki Vest
I barely knew anyone on that list. Gonna have to start reading more blogs... - Andy DeSoto
Only heard of 3-4 of them, Veronica included :D but if they are there, it means they deserve it - Dan V via twhirl
I knew about 3/4s of the list and they absolutely deserve it. These are all great bloggers, well worth checking out. - Robert Scoble
Only knew about 1/2 of the list but the ones i saw on that list are there because of merit. Great List...worth checking out. - Nicholas James
congrats Veronica! - Kevin Rose
This reminds me that had I not given up on the first blog I started back in 98, maybe I'd be on this list. But I don't have the drive and passion these very worthy women have! Congrats to you, Veronica and all on the list! More importantly, keep doing what you do, because it is important and valuable. - Shawna Benson
What an impressive list! Quite a few I follow already, but nice to have some more to check out. - Sally Church
ok which one s/we get Playboy to cover ? Remember TC's post of late ? - Peter Dawson
Why does there have to be a separate list for most influential male/female bloggers? Why not just a list for the 50 or 100 most influential bloggers? Why the gender distinction? - Michael Tefft
After posting about the bikinibloggers of Urlesque & the wish for naked bloggers of Playboy at http://www.aboutblank.nl it was worthwile to pay some attention to influential female bloggers. Really influential, I'm talking about. But why do all these American sites pay so much atttention female bloggers, I wonder. So sudden, I mean. - Ton Zijp
whole story is suspect due to claim that blogging pair coined term "fugly" - WTF! :-) - Deva Hazarika
What does it have to do with America, Ton Zijp? - Andy DeSoto
Andy, just that the attention is there so suddenly, in such a way that they all make a list (20 bloggers Urlesque wants to see in bikini, 9 Playboy wants to see naked, 50 really influential according to N x E). I follow news about weblogs worldwide, I publish about it daily, so for me it's really surprising that in just a few days all these sites are concentrating at female bloggers. I don't take conclusions on that, but it really surprises me. July = bikinimonth? Like Urlesque said? - Ton Zijp
I know a few, and have a few others in my rss reader. But this blog post is screaming for an OPML. - Laura Scott via Alert Thingy
The term fugly is as old as beauty (or lack there of) it's self. - Brian Norwood
nice resource, re: formatteddad's comment- as long as there is no bias or exclussion. anything that brings more voices to the conversation- the better! sometimes we need to identify the voices that might not be getting the BIG exposure. - Nice Fish Films
where's corvida? where's corvida? - Sarah Perez
perl helped me to dump a quick opml of the blogs. i won't host it myself. instead this link gives you a netvibes startpage where you can read the blogs and export them to opml: http://is.gd/QH7 - now i'm busy reading. - igor
Congratulations for making the list! - Jeff P. Henderson
@Sarah - I was looking for Corvida too! - Yolanda ♥s Nuttycakes
Im not a big ijustine fan, but Im glad to see Gina T near the top. - Colby Olson
What about Paige and Gretchen from MommyCast? They deserve to be on the list. - Barry Reicherter via twhirl
You go girls!! But where are the AFRICAN AMERICAN & HISPANIC & INDIA, etc bloggers. A little discriminating, don't ya think? - ChaCha Fance
wait -- no Sarah Perez? or did I miss her? - Jorge Escobar

"The truck driver told police they weren’t “dealing with normal cows.” They made their escape after pushing a release button.“He said that they were smart cows and they must have been planning this for a while,” Suitor said. The two cows remained on the lam late Wednesday night." -- Cheers to my Dad who sent me this breaking news from back home. - Christopher Sacca via Bookmarklet

Fitting the twin bill this evening, some pictures of both Matthew and Sarah together. Ignore that goofy-looking guy in the A's hat in two of the photos. He clearly needs to shave and get more sleep. (And Allen, your CN sticker request was denied by the photographer, due to "priorities". We'll retry tomorrow.) - Louis Gray via mail2ff
Congrats! I'm an uncle of twins. They are definitely double the fun! - Mike L
The twins look very cute Louis. I can literally say that you have got both your hands full. - Vic Podcaster
You look a lot cleaner than I did when we had our son. Congratulations! you're in for one of the most amazing times of your life! Sure you're sleep deprived and it'll take a while before you stop wondering why they ever let you leave the hospital with them, but it's all wonderful! - David Knight

You're home free at this point, for all intents and purposes. Most of the twins in my world - and for some reason there are several - were born from 32-34 weeks. And all are healthy and happy. So excited for you! Life is about to get very interesting for you guys. On that note, we should start a FF room for baby advice once they arrive. You may need a place to vent and ask opinions. - Carla Thompson
I almost forgot. Buy two of these posthaste. http://www.miracleblanket.com/ - Carla Thompson
I had to create it myself so that it would have the right name: http://friendfeed.com/rooms/sc... - Cyndy
Nice! I'll add the first item to it as a christening. - Carla Thompson
Now the real question is, are we going to add the REAL parenting advice or just the stuff you tell first-time parents so as not to frighten them? - Cyndy
OMG, some of my favorite e-mails include Carla's "observations" after her first daughter was born. The room is a fantastic idea and you have to keep it "real." - Shellee
Shellee, in the interest of FriendFEED I think you should share them. Just for giggles. ;) - Cyndy
My general rule: before they're born, keep it polite and only share the nice stuff. After: all bets are off. It's honesty time. - Carla Thompson
You're about to witness a moment of happiness that is unmatched and indescribable. Think of winning the World Series, the lottery and Scrabble on Facebook all at the same time. ... That said, the best advice now is one word: Sleep. This weekend, no alarm clock - just sleep in. Spend the whole weekend in bed if need be. It will be ages before you do again. - Chris Reed
@Chris Please define "ages." Oldest is 8.5 and the only weekend I've spent in bed I was sicker than a dog and still had to drag boxes of cereal to the children. - Cyndy
@Carla and @Cyndy... bring it on. We can have fun with this. - Louis Gray
LOL Louis. I'm not sure... I've had friends tell me that conversations with me are effective birth control. - Cyndy
@Cyndy: Ages as in I think they have to age and leave the house, then you get to sleep again. - Chris Reed
That's what I was afraid. of. :( - Cyndy
Charlie makes a really good name - Boy or Girl ... :) - Charlie Anzman
Lots of twinnage here at FF!. Our boys were born @ 34 weeks, after 6 weeks of very scary hospital-based pre-term labor. Now they're almost 4 and I can't imagine life without them. To be honest, I remember about 8 minutes of their first 6 months. I agree with Chris Reed. Take a nap. Now. Not because you want to, but because you can. Once they arrive, try to eat right, because it will be very tempting not too, and you need a lot of resources to battle your imminent lack of sleep. - Erik Dafforn
I agree with the others here..take a nap. Right now. Once your twins arrive, you'll soon be posting on - 'What is this 'rest' you speak of?' :) - Mia
hmm.. at present you've got 143 comments and 162 likes this week. my prediction is after 20 days from now you never hit these numbers again. :) - Jeremy Toeman
My wife is 30 weeks pregnant with twin girls so we're getting closer too. And we have a 13 month old daughter. Yes, we are crazy. - Jason Dettbarn
@Jason Yes, yes, you are. Certifiable even. Although I have maintained since #2 that if ANY of our kids had ever made it to 2 without me being pregnant again, we'd only have one child. ;) - Cyndy
The only things I tell myself (to stay sane) is: we get through the next year or two we'll be golden; after this we're done having kids, so why not get it over now?!; they'll all be great playmates in a short time so we won't have to entertain as much... ahh, heck, who am I kidding? We are crazy. - Jason Dettbarn
Well, golden until the teenage years. Then I'll be taking up the shooting range as a hobby to scare off the boys. - Jason Dettbarn
Before our first was born, my wife had this thing: It would be two kids or four, no odd numbers (could have been from my being a middle child for a while). So after our first son was born, she said "2!" and I knew exactly what she meant. - Chris Reed
@Jason Ohohohoho. Hee hee hee. hoo. Sorry... I laughed til I cried. Four kids here in 3.5 years. Sorry to burst your bubble, but no, sir, you will not be "golden" in a "year or two." I look back on those days with three in diapers where some stayed where they were put with great longing. - Cyndy
@Cyndy and Jason: As I sat there last night, taking my eyes off of my 1.5 year old son for only seconds to watch a small snippet of the basketball game, only to find him seconds later pouring yogurt and milk all over the coffee table, the remotes, my lap, his lap, and the floor, I also longed for the days of waking up every three hours in the middle of the night to feed the monster, change the monster, and put him down again.
