"I know that Jeremy Vaught guy from Arizona. And I love the Phoenix Lander Twitter feed! Nice article btw. And I'm not just saying that because I'm in it :)" - Jeremy Vaught
"I particularly like the redesign because I'm on it :) And I'm next to Mostly Lisa, who can argue with that? In addition, I just met Lisa at the New Media Expo, and she is awesome, so I know at least the left half is well represented in awesomeness.
Thanks!
Jeremy Vaught" - Jeremy Vaught
I started wearing Hawaiian shirts TONS after the CEO mentioned something he called the "flowered shirt community." He meant guys like Jeff Pulver and others who stand out in the business environment. Suddenly, it's a badge. - Chris Brogan
sleep deprived, possible alchoholic, but a photo that bad, who can tell - Gregory Lent
Nice (not really) blanket statement, it's not that black and white. It's really just what people say when they dislike something that's popular. - Sonciary Honnoll
one of my favorite videos by Honda is "Hate Something" (on YouTube) - dave mcclure
Loic, that's so sad! (Is the opposite true, if everyone hates you then you must be a maestro!) - Dave Hussein Winer
Loic be nice or I'll block you on Seesmic! LOL - Igor The Troll
Can I assume since I'm seeing Dave Winer in the timeline, etc, that he has unblocked me? Dave? - Aaron Brazell
@davew: Your implication is not logically true :) @loic come on NoiseRiver ;-) We have better than "hate this" - directeur

@Aaron Dave says thanks for reminding him :P (*kidding*) - Shey
Boring people don't have enemies. Not all interesting people do, but boring folks never do. If you're lucky tho - your friends like you as much & as passionately as your enemies hate you. - Lucretia Pruitt
Next time someone tries to do a block on me, I will retaliate with DOS denial attack on their server! Block per Block! lmao - Igor The Troll
Loic, Does this mean I have to become the only person that doesn't like you to save you from a life of mediocrity? I love seesmic so much I would do that for you. - Cathleen Rittereiser

I'm pretty medicre but my friends have lots of haters. What does that mean? - Robert Scoble
"We are sorting ourselves out by choosing to live with people that we agree with," Bill Clinton quote from today. Is this true of FF community? - Cains
@cains: It's true of every community. The alternative: What, you're going to force me to be with people I DON'T like? Who gave you the power to choose for me? And what about freedom of association in the Constitution? - Alexander Williams

This brings to mind a couple versus from R.Kipling: ... If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much,
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it... - Franklin Naval
What's wrong with being mediocre? Doesn't mean you can't do extraordinary things. - Jim Kukral

It's not possible for everybody to like anyone. If everyone else in the world likes a person, then my husband will hate him/her. - MiniMage LightBlueRanger
If you always try to get everyone to like you and never say anything that expresses your true feelings for fear that someone might be offended does that mean you hate yourself? - Guilty Party
Part of me really agrees with the quote, but part of me also thinks it's a load of crap. I think that if there's someone everyone likes, that person is probably hiding something or not allowing themself to be fully transparent. For me, I prefer total transparency - I want to know if I'm going to like you or hate you. Any middleground just wastes time and energy. - Sam Dodge
I agree to a point. You have to have an opinion and stick up for that, but you can't just be generally abrasive. - Jeremy Vaught
I was thinking about this some more Loic. I think this statement is bullshit propaganda tripe spouted by people who think being a dick is "interesting". No, it's just you being a dick. Being liked is a good thing. Let's not try to claim that good people are boring as you suggest. - Jim Kukral
Asuming you're good, I think it's easy to be disliked and come across as arogant. It's far harder to be good and liked. - Ben Metcalfe

There's no such thing as "everybody." There's nothing wrong with mediocre. Being hated does not mean you are more [interestng, intelligent, creative] etc. Being liked and being mediocre are factors independent of each other. - Roxanne Darling

You can be liked by many people, but it is impossible to satisfy everyone. Sometimes you will bump into people that you don't like. I would say "If everybody likes you, you are not honest" - Erno Hannink
yes that is 100% true unless you are an antagonizer. Notice Amanda Chapel is both intelligent and has people listening to her. - AnotherⓃⓄⒶⒽ
To be a real jerk in social networking brings people to you. but it makes ur life a nightmare. I would prefer mediocrity - AnotherⓃⓄⒶⒽ
and then there are the Chris Brogans... - AnotherⓃⓄⒶⒽ
in an optimized system (social or economic) mediocrity is healthy =) (retweeting myself here into FF, since FF doesn't pickup the twitter conversation) - Thomas Knoll
I got my twitter account back @NoahDavidSimon and I notice by not being there I still have around 1000 followers. - AnotherⓃⓄⒶⒽ
by not tweeting I got a better share of listeners... but not really. I just didn't piss them off yet - AnotherⓃⓄⒶⒽ
I would rephrase it : “if you want attention from everyone, you are probably ZERO" or "if you want to be liked (loved) by everyone, you are mediocre" LOLOLOLOL - Lora Lufark
"I've been lurking here for a while now and just wanted to say how much I'm enjoying watching the process of putting this video together. I'm a cyclist so this whole thing is exciting to me on several levels.
Very much looking to the finished product. Just as long as it's not $80 or some such for the DVD :)" - Jeremy Vaught
"Well, tis true that government creates roadblocks that technology works around. (also true that companies create roadblocks that technology finds a workaround, think DRM, copying DVDs, etc.) In the case of stem cells, I think the government took the correct moral position of not using murdered babies to field science. Very slippery slope. And yes, a fetus/baby at any stage of development is a human being. You may not think so, but a lot of people do. So the fact that science came up with a workaround is fantastic, not just morally, but scientifically." - Jeremy Vaught

"This is interesting Jeffrey McManus. And does make sense. A VC may be able to see the startup landscape from a 10,000 ft. view, and be able to grab a few startups, put them together, and thus combining a few different ideas into a better idea. Or taking one company that is missing something, and fleshing it out with another startup. Very interesting... merging of startups." - Jeremy Vaught
