As of Saturday my parent's home was still there when my dad left. He stayed on the roof with a hose fighting it by himself. The firefighters helped him fight it for a while. They used a pump to pump water from the swimming pool to fight it but eventually the firefighters gave up. The neighbors house burned down. My dad was able to save our house, at least as of Sat. afternoon. It may be gone now. He was going to try and hike back in on Saturday night in order to bypass the roadblock by the Sherriff, but wasn't able to get back in there. - Thomas Hawk from Bookmarklet

That's the neighbors house. My parents home is on the property burning in the background. - Thomas Hawk

I'm so sorry! :( - Michelle Martinez

:( So sorry to hear that, Thomas. - Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF

I think the house may be ok. Well see. On Sat. night when I talked to my mom she said that he'd been able to save the house fighting the fire from the roof. But a storage/garage type structure on the property burned down and 3 cars were lost as of Sat afternoon. The whole thing could be gone now though. - Thomas Hawk

Oh, Thomas! Many prayers, warm thoughts (warm = the affectionate kind, not the fiery kind), and hugs to you and your family. I hope everyone is safe! - Ladybug Heather

Oh, man...I am sorry to hear that, TH. Thoughts & prayers to you and your family. - JA Castillo

My thoughts are with your parents. - vicster is...

they are all safe. my mom was in ventura giving a seminar and my dad stayed until the fire burned through the property on the canyon. There were still hot spots though that could have flared up. He left on Sat. afternoon after saving the home and the fire burned through the property. I think he wanted to get to town as there's no phone/electricity up there to let everyone know he was... more... - Thomas Hawk

Oh, sh*t!! That's awful. Glad to hear your folks are OK, Thomas. - Andrew Terry

I'm so sorry, Thomas. You and family are in prayers, I'm so glad to hear that you are all safe. Your father is a very brave man. Please let them know I am praying for them. - Melanie Reed

So scary. Best wishes to your folks. The worry must be unbearable. - Kathy Fitch

I've lived in Altadena/Pasadena for the bulk of my time in Los Angeles, nearly ten years. It's really scary to know that some of the homes that are being lost are undoubtedly friends or relatives of friends and people that I know. - Derrick

Hope everything turns out good for your parents, looks terrifying - Kim Landwehr

Hope everything turns out alright, with no more property loss, for your parents! - Rene Wirtz

:( - Roberto Bonini from iPhone

How scary and terrible! I'm glad that your parents are ok, though!! - Susan Dennis

I'm so glad everyone is ok. I'll keep your family in my prayers. - ChiliMac

I'm glad everyone is safe. Is this the worst fire season in recent years? - Bryan R. Adams

yeah. this is the worst fire since the fire that burned through there maybe in 1977 or so? I remember that one too. It was pretty bad. This one seems worse though. The other thing that's terrible are the floods that follow the fires the next winter. - Thomas Hawk

Scary things fires like these. Glad to hear your family's safe though - at the end of the day that's more important than the house. - John

Really scary. I saw a wildfire up close for the first time this weekend in Yosemite. It's not something I hope to be near again. - Kevin Pedraja

Amazing pic, but terrifying. Glad you are safe! - Gemma Leanne Goode

So sorry to hear this. Good to know that your parents are safe. - Anne Yeh

ohhhhhhh shit! that totally sucks :-( - Ralph Reijs

Thomas I am so sorry. I hope their house is ok. Gosh, I feel bad for you guys. - Jim Williams

I talked with my dad on the phone for the first time today. He seemed fine about it all. He said it was exciting actually. He was the only one there fighting the fire for a long time. He said it was really quiet except for sounds of the fire. He'd hear a tree fall and yell "timber." He was in pretty good spirits all things considered. He's pretty sure the house is saved and hopes that they might escort residents back in in the next few days sometimes in this part of Big Tujunga Canyon. - Thomas Hawk

I'm sorry to hear about this, but I'm glad everyone is okay! - Michael Fidler

It is a story all to familiar for us Australians and thankfully my family and I have never been caught up in it ourselves, but have come very close. Glad to hear that your folks are ok and in the least have a story to tell. Everything is replaceable except your life and these types of events bring people to that realisation faster than they would like unfortunately. - Travis Koger from iPhone

Hope they're OK.......ds - David Sanger

WHOA! I hated the CA wildfires ..that was something I'll never miss again... augh - Susan Beebe

Man ,, TH.. Im so glad that the folks are ok ... tell Dad to leave the firefighting to the young guys ,, hope that the folks are safe and that the weather can drop some rain to assist in this disaster ,, - johnpiercy

TH .. all that matters is that the folks .. are safe ,, homes can be rebuilt .. best wishes sincerely jp - johnpiercy

he's a pretty crazy but resourceful old dude actually. the firefighters were there helping him for a while but they bailed on the property figuring they couldn't save it and he stayed and fought it off himself. - Thomas Hawk

Hope the house is okay. Glad to hear the folks are safe. Cheers! - Helen Sventitsky

Can't think of anything more scary than having to run from your house as it's being surrounded by fire. Very glad everyone is safe though....that's what is important. - Bonnie Foster

So tough. Hope the house made it - but mostly glad everyone is safe. - MaryB, BrandingBroadOfFF

damnit man :( - Mattb4rd

So glad to hear your folks are safe, TH. Wow. Praying for the firefighters and rest of the people caught in this horrible fire season. :-| - Lisa L. Seifert

I'm sorry :( - BeeLing

Yeah WOW. So brave for your dad to fight the fire all by himself. I'm glad to hear he's ok.. I feel a little sorry about their house, it's beautiful :( - 'Like' robot (frɐnc)

So sorry they have to go through this. Thank you for sharing the story, Thomas. - Micah Wittman

I was listening to a story on the radio about how quickly you can be engulfed by a forest fire, specially when certain types of trees literally explode raining burning chunks around, honestly, it sounds very risky to stay behind and fight these yourself. - Ray Cromwell

Thomas, I hope your parents house makes it though the fire OK. I'm glad to hear that your parents are OK, regardless of what happens to the house. - Jeff P. Henderson

I feel for you Thomas because I've been there just over 6months ago. All I can say is (unfortunately) you're in for a shite of a year ~ http://www.flickr.com/photos... - Peter Renshaw

glad to hear your folks got out - terrible to see the devastation! - Kate

Truly saddened. Truly. - Jeff "RESPRES" Turner

glad to hear they're OK but gutted for you TH - Phill Price

Sorry to hear about your troubles Thomas, but I'm extremely glad your parents are safe and sound. Looks like you guys are having a really bad season - Mo Kargas

sorry you guys are having to go through this shit. And I'm seriously impressed by your dad! major balls. - vijay

that's an awful experience... - Rick Cogley

Hope everyone is ok. - Alternating Reality Books

Sheesh* Scary Poop Batman - hopefully Everybody is OK* I saw that on the Front Page o the Paper this morning + U never think it's somebody U know* - Billy Warhol

Wow! How is everyone? - Mitchell Tsai

I didn't want to click on the Like link because it's almost like saying I enjoy watching Thomas Hawk's parents house burn down. Hope everyone is safe ;-) - James Robertson

I am sorry to see the fire was such a danger to you and your family. I sincerely hope your Dad didn't manage to sneak back in - he just endangers himself and the fire fighters.. It is better to have your Dad around than a house. - Bill Rawlinson

I'm really sorry to see and hear that......... - Kevin Montgomery

That is so scary, but the biggest thing is that you know where your parents are, and they're safe. - mark zero (Jason)

My parents went back into their property yesterday afternoon. They were letting some residents back into Big Tujunga Canyon. The house survived but there's a lot of work still to do. The pipes from the water pump to the spring burned up and so my dad's trying to repair those to get water back to the property. Electricity is still out and probably will be for at least a few weeks. He's... more... - Thomas Hawk

It's going to be hard for the whole community now Thomas - it is the same in Greece where there were really devastating fires close to Athens these past few days. At least your parents are safe - all the best. - Sofia @ SoMaFusion

just awesome! - michael sean wright

It is a lot harder to shoot these than jet planes. The pictures don't do justice to just how fast these things are going. This is turn 1 at Indy, by the way. - Robert Scoble

Envious much! Being able to see The Doctor at work. Amazing! - Steve Farnworth

Thomas Hawk would be jealous. I snuck through another team's garage (with permission) then got kicked off the track after 20 minutes of shooting. - Robert Scoble

These are practice runs, tomorrow the racing starts. We're doing a meetup at the track, by the way, at 1 p.m. -- if you are here, call me. 425-205-1921 will be fun. Another meetup is at 10 p.m. tomorrow night in downtown Indianapolis. - Robert Scoble

These guys drive faster in the rain than I do in my car. - Robert Scoble

Robert: Are these shots are only a percentage of the resolution of the camera? I can only imagine the full detail of the shot. 1600x1067 resolution feels like it doesn't do them justice. Nice work. - Luke Kilpatrick

Luke: yeah. The full things are over 5,000 pixels across. I'll put up full res ones on Flickr. - Robert Scoble

nice pictures scoble - Joshua Smith from twhirl

Really nice work! What lens are you using? - Bill Sanders

Joshua: thanks. You didn't see all my failures, though. This was the hardest shooting I've ever done. It's amazingly difficult to get good photos of things going so freaking fast with such a long telephoto. I have no idea how the camera people on TV do it (except they have huge tripods). - Robert Scoble

hot. - Drea

Bill: a Canon 600 mm F4.0 with a Canon 5D MK II. - Robert Scoble

<insert envy here> missed you last night at the panel btw... - Bill Sanders

By the way, all these pictures are in the public domain. My gift to you. Bill: yeah, sorry I wasn't there. I heard I took some abuse from Guy Kawasaki, though. Tell him that Yamaha's are beating the Kawasakis here. :-) - Robert Scoble

SWEET!! - The Catz Meow

Very nice. I think you are almost ready to go shoot some NASCAR. - Jeff from iPod

Fiat, by the way, is on Twitter at http://twitter.com/Fiatont... and FriendFeed at http://friendfeed.com/fiatont... - Robert Scoble

Jeff: NASCAR goes slow compared to these bikes. :-) But I would love to catch some NASCAR action someday. - Robert Scoble

Thanks for the "social media compliment" Robert. We all share a big passion and are simply trying to share the best content we have. - Marco Massarotto

@Robert ... ummm darlin' depends on what track they are on. Right now they can get up to 205 on a super speedway WITH a restrictor plate. (eg. Taladega & Daytona) Before the Restrictor plate was required... they would get speeds up to 220 mph. (Yes I am a HUGE NASCAR GEEK!!) - The Catz Meow

Great pictures! - Tamara

So I guess the shots of me catching a wave was like shooting fish in a barrel compared to the speed of these shots. Looking forward to seeing the full res shots, I wonder if you can tell the type of screws used on the bikes :) - Luke Kilpatrick

The Catz Meow: I was just yanking your chain. The MotoGP is running about 205mph too. These bikes are amazing. Especially when you consider the rain. Those tires are awesome. Yeah, Luke, shooting you was a bit easier. - Robert Scoble

Marco: thanks for the access and being great hosts. I'll upload a lot more to my Flickr account shortly. - Robert Scoble

But cars are huge compared to these bikes. Easier to get focus on a large target. Astonished that the 5D handles that well... - Holger Eilhard from iPod

Nice. I'll be out there tomorrow. May see you at a TweetUp - Mike Nelson

Holger: I love my 5D. It's an amazing camera. By the way, these have NOT been altered in any way and are straight off of my camera. If I did a little bit of processing on them they would look even more amazing. - Robert Scoble

@Robert Oh yes I am well aware of what these bikes can do... I did my Motorcycle mechanic apprenticeship for Vance and Hines Racing back in 86-87. I used to watch them at Laguna Seca when I was stationed at Fort Ord. - The Catz Meow

Can you tell I really LOVE Speed and things that GO FAST? - The Catz Meow

The Catz: yeah. And these things DO. I will shoot the turns tomorrow (on the back of the track the bikes go through a series of turns, which make a lot better pictures than just all-out speed). - Robert Scoble

Robert: next up: some nice HD video maybe? :) - Holger Eilhard from iPod

It's very difficult to shoot video at the paddock, organization won't allow videocameras, so it's gonna be a tough time for Robert to share some video, but, you know... you never know, he's Scobleizer :-) - Marco Massarotto

Holger: I will try to sneak in some video here and there, but Marco is right, video is hard to shoot on these tracks. Plus, I can't use the 600 mm and get video worth watching. - Robert Scoble

Robert: How come you can't do video on the 600mm? Too much shake? - Luke Kilpatrick

Luke: yeah. - Robert Scoble

Beautiful photos of a great team. I think race photographer would be my dream job. - Stephen Masiello

Stephen: I met the official photographer today and he wasn't willing to give up his media pass. Sigh. - Robert Scoble

Nice. I was there last year, soggy then too. Didn't have a 600. Use a slower shutter speed while panning for that blurred feeling of speed. - Jeremy Tanner

Jeremy: yeah, I'll try that. First I just had to get used to capturing these things. How slow? I bet 125th of a second would do the trick. - Robert Scoble

I just posted some more photos over on Flickr; http://www.flickr.com/photos... - Robert Scoble

Guy only had a little fun at your expense. Something about not being sure that all those egos could fit on one panel - even with you missing. We'll get you back for another one soon. Enjoy the trip - looks like you are having a blast. - Bill Sanders

Great lens choice for the conditions & targets. - Bryan Duke

You had me at "motorcycles." - MiniMage TKDteacher of FF

Robert, very good job you are doing there. Chase commented earlier that he IS jealous. - Johnny Sewell

The full resolution shots are awesome. Great detail, you can count the links on the drive train for the bike! amazing. - Luke Kilpatrick

hope this new approach works for you! - timepilot

Oh, so now you are only easy on FF. - James Watters

Odd internal response, I don't follow everyone who follows me cuz of the very noise you talk about. And, there's no good reason for you to follow me since I'm unlikely to deliver news of interest to you. And yet, here I am, posting on FriendFeed so you have the OPTION of following me, a stranger who is not the same kind of SMART as you. Who'd have thought... - Della Mauler

Interesting statement about original content value of FF independent of twitter. Twitter is where you keep your noise level down... - James Watters

This seems like asking for trouble to me, Scoble. But, it's your time and bandwith to do with what you will. Since only a handful of people (by that I think I mean just one) follow me on Twitter, it's pretty easy for me to weed out the bots. The people I follow are my internet nerds (mostly the Rev 3 crew) so I know their interests are in line with mine. Hit me up for some edifying conversations about Lost and video games, Robert. - Jeremiah Green

Della: the thing is here I can follow you and put you into a list and watch you less frequently than some of my other people. So everyone wins. But only here on FriendFeed. :-) - Robert Scoble

Some of us have been doing this from our start. Kind of cool, eh? But our numbers don't grow quickly so we were tagged as "slow." Nice to see you catch up with us!

Gerard: everyone says something worthwhile once in a while. The trick is to see it when it happens. Here on FriendFeed, by the way, you have a better shot because good stuff usually gets liked and commented on, so it pulls up higher into my view. - Robert Scoble

You can follow me, but since you follow a lot of people, you probably can't pay attention to the stream of tweets. - Alex Knight

Alex..that's the WHOLE point he did this... ;o) - Rob Sellen :o)

IMHO 1,647 is still way too many people to follow. - Alex Knight

I will NOT get baited into ... ah CRAP. I follow very few people on twitter, mainly only to find info from Android developers (my topic of choice). If you mention anything about the food you are currently eating, etc.. you will probably not be followed. If you post 80,000 times a day, you will not be followed, since Twitters interface sucks (not so for FF). Also, no offense to other social users, but if you resend your FF/FB/<insert other social site here> entries to twitter, I probably won't follow. - Tim Hoeck

Love the post, love the response. - Chris Rogers from BuddyFeed

nice hanging out at with beach w/ you last week! follow moi!!! - Raina Lee

I always feel like scoble's following me - Rodney J Woodruff from iPhone

Don't forget your Dunbar number, Scoble! There are only so many people you can have meaningfully connect with online. - Steve Lynch from twhirl

Mark is right. No butt kissing. Ew. - Robert Scoble

"I always feel like, somebody's watching me..." - Wizetux

Comment!!!! Ohh wait but you already follow me... - Amit Nangare

Follow me, if you aren't already....please. Thanks, - Steve de Mena

here is my comment ZOL - Shane Gibson

Comment? What kind of coomment, Robert? :-) - Mitch Featherston

Whoop there it is! On Twitter @jimgoldstein - Jim Goldstein from iPhone

Oh..Oh... Mr. Kotter...Mr Kotter..follow me! - Scott Booher

Glad to see you're writing more than 140 characters on that blog. Doesn't that feel liberating? Maybe we should be allowed character# based on your metric for powerful/smart/newsmaker - Noah Bloom

You already follow me here on FF, for which I thank you. So, I'll just say thanks for the phone call the other day. :) - Jeff Harbert

I'll take a follow! - Jeff Weber

@shaunhess - Shaun Hess

Ok, so follow me again and I will follow you back. Thanks! - Audrey

Robert - I fail on most of your criteria so I'm not expecting you to follow me. The thing is I don't care if you follow me back - this is social media and everyone has their own choice. I choose to follow you because you entertain and inform me. The relationship is 100% one way and I am more than happy with that! - Pon

Robert - Last night at GDGT Party the person at the Blackberry booth said: 1) She had 'heard of Twitter, never friend feed' uses neither 2) Is SCOBLE is coming tonight 3) Wow, your Blackberry is really "archaic" and find out when contract lets you upgrade. F-D UP? Booth babes need primers. - Liza

Interesting theory... people who comment more apt to contribute? - Mark Philpot

I know someone else who tried this strategy last year, with similar results. I've been debating it. Once I got over 3K followers on Twitter life just got weird. Started to spend X amount of time every day blocking porn spam. - Patricia F. Anderson

Liza: yeah, sorry for not coming to the party. I went and saw Obama's CTO instead. - Robert Scoble

Steve Lynch: my Dunbar number is higher than yours is. :-) - Robert Scoble

Nice summary Robert on the whole Unfollow thing, but would it be too repetitive if I re-post on my FF? - Keith Rowland

What is the best friend feed aggregation strategy of non-friend streams (eg RSS, twitter, etc)? Imaginary friend per service, then add to lists? Multiple services per imaginary friend or 1 to 1? Or add the services to a group? What are the considerations? - John Brown

Keith: you can repost anywhere you like, thanks! - Robert Scoble

I'm in! - Craig Shipp

still wondering how you are able to handle such a big load of subscribers here and e.g. so many followers with twitter o_0. I am already (sometimes) lost with the few i got till now. Lately with one sweep almost 40 to 50 contacts in twitter disappeard and i have no clue why ... boah, how are you handling the noise? Hell, with so many ppl in, you might have a terrific noise? Or you wear just good headphones ;)? - Ronald

I very much agree that being choosy is the key to Twitter. I'm not nearly on the scale that you are, but in my experience, freely following people (whetther they follow me or not) and then mercilessly cutting back on them over and over again results in a kind of darwinianly better and better signal to noise ratio. - Tim Maly

Touche! - Steve Lynch from twhirl

Count me in - Johnny

Hi Robert - Randy Allen Bishop

Liked the blog post and totally agree. I've been meaning to do something similar. What I do is occasionally prune and then add some "better" replacements, so my total is always 2000 follows. - Bora Zivkovic

I don't see how anyone can manage so many users without groups. Then again, with groups you could just make an "ignore" group. - Oscar M. Cantu from iPhone

Great blog post. I totally agree on the noise level. I figure I have blocked a few hundred accounts on Twitter, and my noise level has dropped dramatically. Thanks for the follow! - Tony "Frosty" Welch

Hello Hello! - Sam Goldfield

Robert - I figured you were in DC from FF, but she had NO IDEA what a CTO is. Point is, she was eager to give you a Blackberry, but not me, and I wish I had a Scoble costume to pretend for 5 minutes. - Liza

@Robert I think you are starting another mass follow again. - Steve Chou from fftogo

Steve: that's not the problem. As long as spam doesn't enter the system I can deal. Keep in mind here I can choose how I follow. I can put you all in a folder that I never look at, if I wanted to. - Robert Scoble

my feelings were hurt that you unsubscribed to me on twitter, but i agree with your methods - Brian Appleby

I'm in! - Chris Rossini

Brian, yeah, but I follow you here. So there. - Robert Scoble

really doesn't matter as long as i can follow you, that's the beauty of these services - Brian Appleby

How did you come to follow so many to begin with? I get annoyed with ppl and unfollowing is easier than sifting through their garbage constantly. - R1CC1

Autofollow was a horrible idea to begin with. - David Chieng

I kind of tired to keep an eye on who follows me now,the ones I'm following is much more important.:-) - Steve Chou from fftogo

Whoa lots of comments I'm following you longtime lol - Edgar Rodríguez from iPhone

Robert: we need more intelligent spam-follower-filtering on Twitter! We need to fix this. - Steve Lynch from twhirl

@David +1 I think auto follow is such a bad idea to begin with,and people like Robert now even need to pay to unfollow these people. - Steve Chou from IM

How much did SocialToo charge for running the unfollow script? - Shane

I'm in! - rich brant from iPhone

I heard its 25 dollars. - Steve Chou from IM

I've always been very picky in who I follow on twitter. I follow 40 people, and I can't guarantee that I see every single tweet. I don't scroll back usually, unless it's my "Real Life" column in Tweetdeck that couldn't fit on my screen. - Tom Ribbens

My birthday is also January 18th, therefore you must follow me Robert! ;) - Chris Luckhardt from BuddyFeed

Thanks Steve! $25 is pretty reasonable. Wonder if anyone else will be jumping on the bandwagon - Shane

Haha....I also threw the devil horns for Scobleizer...that should count for something. ;) http://www.flickr.com/photos... - Chris Luckhardt from BuddyFeed

OK, let's try it! And what about Twitter? - Alexei Zheglov

Thanks for your post. Last time I checked you follow me here on FriendFeed. OK not to follow me on Twitter. - Pilgrim Five

Smart way to clean house. - Jeremy Chone

u have already subscribing me although i am just a-staying-at-home mum =)). thanx scoble. u are really a nice geek. haha! - zʍıɔ

Let's do it. - Kate

this is like an awesome commentfest - Edgar Rodríguez

You can follow me, but I never say anything. Oh.. wait.... - James Macgill

follow me! - Tate DA FF MVP from BuddyFeed

Sometimes the tortoise beats the hare after all... building organically based on getting to know people and interactions tends to avoid the ghastly spammers, seo peeps and bots - Sally Church

Tap, tap... is this thing on? - Yanik Falardeau

This is the best place to follow you. On twitter you only see post headlines, but friendfeed is where the conversation takes place. - Michael Fidler

Ah crap. You're already following me :) - Jason Nunnelley

I'm outside your sphere, but bootstrapping is bootstrapping right? - Travis Bedard

Tuesday night for the first time in 2 months I UNfollowed everyone on Twitter who wasn't following me. Since you had UNfollowed me, yup I unfollowed you. My Twitter account is so /FUBARed! It only goes to page 506 to show who I'm following and after that it is BLANK! I don't even know if they show in my Home stream. So Robert, I value what you say. Know I can tweet profusely - but it's as @replies to others with the occasional micro-blog thrown in. Question, what DID I do to cause you to UNfollow me? - Arleen Anderson

I hope you'll follow me... - Shane Tilton

Follow me, eh? - Joey Gibson

Trying to fill out those dropped Twitter follows? - Jamie Elgie

Scoble: Have you convinced Guy Kawasaki against his "follow everyone that follows you" mentality? - Kevin Pruett

please do what you must to have the most effecient feed mr scoble, the random will still creep through the cracks, ;) - chaz2b

I still haven't really adopted FriendFeed, but I will get interesting here in time if you follow me. - Lance M. Brown

How are your cleanup efforts coming along? - Jennifer Ruggiero

Oops - I also meant to ask, Robert: how are you managing to follow the couple thousand that you are now re-following on Twitter? You must be using groups, I guess...any other methods? I find ~500 people to be a near max in terms of how many folks I can fully read. - Lance M. Brown

Following your inspiration, I unfollowed almost 100 people last night and blocked about 1000 spammers, cam girls, MLM marketers, and the like. Twitter is more like it was a year ago, its almost like I gave my Twitter account an enema and it worked. Thanks for the original idea. - Mark Edwards

Excellent! - Don Strickland

Robert, I started out only following those I know and those I am genuinely interested in. I've only followed back a few of the people who've followed me. I have a second account that I decided to experiment with. I followed about 700 people on there. It has had about double the followers of my main account consistently. I am about to try some new tricks there with an auto-follow script I'm writing but I think I will stay the course with my main account. - Paul The Raven

Robert, I tried the "follow everyone" (almost) method for a short time - then I'd unfollow about once-a-week. Now I try to schedule a "follow new" once a week. TweetDeck's group feature makes following lots of folks bearable. So does FF, but you've been saying that for-ever! - Kathy E Gill

I am just taking it slow. - Rick Cogley from iPhone

Hey. - Kreg Steppe

I will follow you if you follow me (Genesis) - Keith Barrett

I may not be smart, but I'm smart enough to follow you! - John Pfaff

It occurred to me (and surely to someone before me), that different definitions of "following" might be a big factor here. If I'm following someone, it means I'm following along with their updates. But others might see themselves more as becoming part of a person's "following". Not that they are necessarily reading the person's stuff, but they are willing to be considered part of that person's inflated Twitter posse, as part of the influence-trading aspect of Twitter. - Lance M. Brown

Robert, I think that the biggest thing that changed is not that you were "wrong" (to follow everyone) before but that the Twitter population has changed so much. A year ago, pretty much everyone on Twitter was real, and interesting - now there's so much automated gaming the system going on that the signal to noise ratio has gotten unbearable. So I think anyone who cares about more than... more... - Matthew Blaisdell

I can't imagine how it would happen technologically, but it would be great if there was a way to ditch followers who weren't actually reading your tweets. - Lance M. Brown

Enjoyed recent posts and look forward to more from you! Keep it up. - One Degree Connected

I don't want to be left out please!! - Jannifer @wordsforliving

All right, I'll bite :) - although I'll say that I did the mass-unfollow-thing months ago - long before it was cool. - Justin from Nambu

Your most active followers are on FF. No loss.If you really wanted to make a bold statement you ought to have blocked all of your followers and started from scratch. - Benjamin Taylor

Been a while since I put you and Shel On the record...Online - Eric Schwartzman

blah. - imabonehead

Good article Robert. I honestly enjoyed the perspective. I found the same to be true, but on a much lower scale, of course ;-) - Ken Stewart | ChangeForge

i'm in! - Criz

I don't get it - so now you are using Twitter kinda like a normal person, and its some kind of miracle that it works better? - Nick Lothian

I'm impressed you can keep up with 1600 people. I have trouble enough with the little amount I have. I did find that making FriendFeed imaginary friends and putting them in groups for those I'd like to read occasionally (but not on a regular basis) has helped a lot - Tamara

Follow....how about some promotion! - Bob DeMarco

i'm in - Joshua Smith from twhirl

9/11 Was an Inside Job - bill giltner

Stop it, or I will have to get a restraining order. - Sriks7

Hey, Robert! - tomit from iPhone

In my mind I'm important enough to follow ;-) - Jonathan Callahan

Hello Robert....Whatever your favorite genre is...http://listen.grooveshark.com/#... - Michele Lorito-Chase

Looks like you have a lot of work to do following everybody. - Corbett Barr

now i'll have to write something interesting... - Robert Littlejohn

me! i offer nothing but the warm feeling of having accepted a ff reject. - Marco

ok. so how will you filter the noise now - Kfir Pravda

Ooo, I've won the lottery. You'll follow me now. Wheeee! (how do you have the time to go through all of the names by hand? VA assistance?) - Peggy Dolane

Great :) - Baard @ Pixum

Interesting trend on twitter - I always wondered what sense it made to follow tens of thousands of people, too much noise. I'm finding it hard enough to follow 2900 (looking to cull even that down as I mostly tweet about 30 people!) - Tia Singh, Life Coach

211th comment: WTF - Geer

Good :) - ★ Soner Gönül

I like your ability to influence so many people. I'm following you (mostly here - on FriendFeed) because it's one of the ways to learn how you do it (but, please, do not follow me if you do not see anything you could learn from me :-). - Hanna Wiszniewska

I would come up w/ a better vetting process. - Joe

why would you do that? - james

got to get a pic up so i can fit the criteria, I only follow 45 people and some of them are on thin ice ( Im lookin at you Scoble) - James Hunter

"Where in The Net is Robert San Diego?" (cit.) :-) - Luca Perugini from iPhone

I'm not kissing your arse,but i do learn a lot listening to you. - Paul Downing

@scobleizer why would you randomly follow people who comment in this post when you just got done knocking FFollo and having to unfollow a gazillion people on Twitter? - Bryan Zirkel

Bryan: because I'm following people one by one and putting them into lists on my screen. Autofollowing means you aren't doing ANY of that thinking. Also, autofollowing will get you spammers, if they ever show up (and they will). - Robert Scoble

@Robert: Read your blogpost and that's indeed what I look at to follow people too. No autofollow and even close friends have to tell something interesting for me to (keep) following. Friends who are new to Twitter (no tweets yet) get the benefit of doubt. - Patrick Mackaaij

If you follow me, great, but if you don't I'll understand. :) And I ought to do some pruning myself... - Grant Bierman

Let's give it a try. :0) - Toma Kazakov

I still don't understand how you want to follow someone who just writes a comment over here. Well, this is not the first time. I did not understand why and how you followed 100k people. I find it hard to properly follow 100 people. - Sumanth Kolar

Sumanth: obviously there are degrees of "following." When you read the New York Times, do you read the entire paper word for word? I don't. Same when I'm following. I only get random slices of some of my lists. Others, which have 500 people on them, get 100% read. - Robert Scoble

I'm still here . . . although tired after teaching all day. Louis Gray came to my PR class at SFSU and WOWED the 50 students [except for one who thinks we are making too much of social media] We won't be following him. - Shari Weiss

I like cheese! - Paul Puri

really? - clockwise from iPhone

Shari: Louis wows me too. Glad to see the class is getting into it. - Robert Scoble

He he :) - Richard Holas

I still like the "stranger stream" of Twitter vs "friend feed" of other applications. I don't feel the need to read all tweets from everybody - and tools let me check my fave tweeples. I think mass unfollowing destroys some of the social contract - Robert you are lucky because you are well liked and can do some risky things but companies for example (not Brands of One) would be in... more... - Laurel Papworth

As @charleneli predicted back in January, 2009 will be the year of de-friending on social networks. It's here. - Mark Evans

Laurel: yeah, you have to navigate these waters carefully if you are representing a brand, that's for sure! - Robert Scoble

you can put me on your boring list... - Charles Tanton

i will not get followed back: not powerful, don't have a brand, not a news maker... but i kinda understand the reasons - Dani Martínez

I still think it all goes into how you use twitter. If your using it as a communication tool it depends on if you are looking for broadcast or 2 way. Its interesting to watch as some of the bigger names turn back from the broadcast and go back to the 2 way. - Luke Kilpatrick

@Robert so when you're taking in information from FF do you have a feed of several dozen/hundred "key" people and then categorize the rest, or are you mainly searching? Do you utilize groups at all or mainly just rely on what comes across your feeds? I guess I'm curious as to how you're using FF to collect information. - Bryan Zirkel

I have found Twitter becomes noise rather than a conversation once the following/follower thing gets over a certain mark. I think this is the dirty little secret of Twitter - if it just turns into white noise, rather than a filter, then it becomes less than useful. - Michael Liss

I'm interested in how we'll all feel over the next few years as social networks continue to change and more people and organizations get on them. Obviously, many of us are getting fed up with spammers and are unfollowing them on Twitter and Facebook. I am also having a hard time keeping up with new subscribers on FriendFeed because I know less about them from their profiles and have to... more... - Cathryn Hrudicka

BTW, I feel like I'm finding lots of interesting new people to follow from these discussions that Robert and others are holding on FF. Cool! - Cathryn Hrudicka

Am I too late to comment and get followed? - Hichame Assi

I'm definitely around :) - KyNam Doan

Aren't you following me already? If not, you should be! LoL - Thomas Ward

I'm definitely late to be followed. :D - Faraz Mullick

I don't get it but ok :) - Parvez Halim

LOL! I follow those I find interesting and which can give me useful information. And hope someone follows me for the same reasons. - Flavio

Very interesting post - I've always thought that you guys who follow loads of people must get completely swamped by noise! Like you, I've found it useful to follow companies I use that have interesting products like Zoho and Evernote as a way of keeping up to date with their latest innovations. Excellent idea spelling out your "follow criteria" - it needs to become standard etiquette for social networks so that people don't get offended when they aren't followed back :) . - David Meredith

aren't you doing the same thing here, that you did in Twitter? Choose carefully who you follow, filling your brain with pollution doesn't make you smarter - Allison

Just finished reading the Mashable post on your unfollow exercise. It's attracting attention from all the other big names now. - George Hall (Australia)

Very interesting indeed, I only to unfollow a few, cause I just never had auto follow on.. So now I just unfollow the ones I'm bored of.. - Jaap Willem

Seems like a good idea. Although Louis Gray also has a few valid points on his latest blog post why it might be a mistake http://bit.ly/19UKxk - Silver Hage

I've never understood the auto-follow procedure on any social network. Even on Facebook, where it is obligatory, one can still lower the noise by simply hiding the updates of those who want to follow you, but perhaps also have little personal connection and therefore can be hidden. - Noah Gray

It seems like the unfollowing was the easy part. Choosing who to follow again must have been a chore. I think it is crucial in twitter (and FriendFeed for that matter) to have a clear out every six months or so otherwise you get bogged down in an information feed you don't really care about. - Chris Nixon

I can totally understand why you had to do this. I'm following 2700-ish folks on Twitter and I need 3 groups to manage it (using TweetDeck). I feel I am keeping up with most of my local community and the general tech community at large though I'm sure I'm still missing quite a bit of stuff from people who are not in the 3 groups. I also wonder how much more I can actually handle. - Ken Seto

Um... well, I made something of myself, but then I didn't like what I made, so now I'm doing it all over again. Not sure how that fits with your criteria! Plus, I really don't have a brand or any influence to speak of. I do look great in boxers, however. - Mark "DerBingle" J

OK, OK, changed my picture. Instead of a green clock (a clock is my personal brand) I put a picture of myself. A lot of people told me to do that.... - Bora Zivkovic

I am still looking for info on holographic technology being used for news delivery. Perhaps it's a technology that hasn't even been invented yet or is sitting on a shelf somewhere. What say you? http://specialdee.wordpress.com/2009... - Denise

Hoping your new look account has had the desired effect. No need to follow me, I'm not the interesting type, I'll just be glad if your insights, links & content continues. Congrats & good luck - JanLawrence

Here's what's interesting, Robert, I've noticed an uptick in followers even if you reply or RT or like someone's tweet, not just if you follow that person. Then again, perhaps that's the intent - if you like or RT someone's idea, that's a kind of stamp of approval. - Aaman (Clone of FF)

Hej hej! - Peter

The Scoble Pendulum.. How long till we go back to FOLLOW!! FOLLOW!!! FOLLOW!!!! ? :) - Adrian Scicluna

I did a purge on Facebook for the same reasons a few months ago. It's under 300 and it's people I actually care about. I've come "this close" to running a purge on Twitter but haven't yet. Maybe this will spark me to do it. I've kept FF tight from the beginning. - Rob Williams

moving from FB to FF ... fewer, longer, more meaningful threads. welcoming your follow. cheers - marc calamia

ok, you´re following me already :-) - Torsten Eckert

alright - follow me... - thx in advance Robert Scoble... - Nilesh

All that commenting in the past counts for nothing? - Kevin Gamble

Hey Robert... Great post... On FriendFeed, I increasingly put people without meaningful and valuable content on a separate feed that I rarely check... Its a more "sensible" way to unfollow, i think... I only unsubscribe if I get pissed at someone etc. I wish, FF gave users the option to only unsubscribe from comments and likes (but keep the main feed). This would be a good tool to control the noise... - Onur Kabadayi

I agree with Robert (duh!). I very briefly made the effort of checking out the new follows and deciding whether to follow back. I think once I hit a thousand I shifted to a model of occasionally saying, "If you want me to follow you, talk to me." Hit two thousand and quit saying anything or checking followers. I don't care if they follow me as long as they either say useful things like real people or don't talk at all. I've never autofollowed back. This strategy works for me. - Patricia F. Anderson

I have a large difference between people I follow (around 2000) and people who follow me (around 1800) - I choose people who are important sources of information. People choose me if they think I am an important source of information to them. I never thought it would have to be a one-to-one relationship as to who is useful to whom: some are informative, others are good listeners and learners. I learn from people I follow and I hope my followers learn from me. - Bora Zivkovic

I also think that those of us who follow larger numbers of people don't use the stream in the same way. It is more dipping in and out of the stream, trusting that the important stuff will be repeated enough to float to the top, engaging with conversations of the moment. I wrote a blogpost on this earlier this year: http://etechlib.wordpress.com/2009... - Patricia F. Anderson

Someone told me twitter can be separated into two types. (id say at least two) - Kay Proskin

Scoble, I am beginning to think you are a cult leader :). Look at all these comments! I am using FF more and more these days... Useful for eGuiders.com that's for sure. - Marc Ostrick

I'm not sure your following me. - Amit Morson

Hey Scobie :D Follow me ! - paniaguai

I like Robert. He was one of the first people I followed on Twitter and brought me to FF. But I don't understand why people are desperate to have him follow them. Status? Some kind of virtual autograph? - Tech Introvert

What the heck. Follow me if you like. I'll be as entertaining & informative as I can. - Aaron Schaub from iPod

Been considering doing the same. Your post just might be the flame that lights a fire you-know-where to get it done. - @katebuckjr

I only follow a few people and keep losing track so lord only knows how you managed to even begin to keep track of a conversation before friendfeed came along - Iain from BuddyFeed

Well done! Who need followers that aren't reading your tweets anyway. - Sean Rasmussen

I just want a toaster! - ZuDfunck

I'm considering doing same once I'm more confident in my use of FriendFeed. I RT'd this and it resonated with at least one of my followers. - Tony Hollingsworth

'Hand-crafted personal network' is the meme of the moment, and whilst I can see the workmanship, where's the value going to be for you, Robert, in following this rag-tag (no offence people :) ) of folks from a gazillion different verticals. (OK, so they're mostly life scientists). - Andrew Spong

I use to want to be Bob Dylan. Now I am not so sure. - ZuDfunck

um..... - Spencer

My take: you can't be an authentic, credible voice to your community if you let 'sex & dollars' spammers hang on to your coattails. Spam followers matter.... in a bad way. Allowing them to be associated with you diminishes your potential value to genuine followers. It's a pain. It takes time. It's worth doing. More on this, if interested: http://tr.im/vJwb - Andrew Spong

I'll have mine to go. - ZuDfunck

Hope to see more "old fashioned blogging", like it better than tweets. Tweets are bound to disappear into oblivion the moment they're posted. - Willem (@wim66) ☠

"Spam followers matter.... in a bad way." - I certainly agree with this. I block pornbots just as quickly as they follow me. I'm less vigilant about the commercial follows, but usually they go away by themselves after a while. - John Craft

You're already following me here (don't care about twitter tough), so i just hope you don't un-follow, even though you probably don't understand what i'm talking about most of the time, since it's in portuguese. - Diego Sana

So what happened to the advantages to following so many people you always talked about? - Bas

Thanks for connecting here, still learning all the advantages of FF - carece

@Andrew Regarding spam followers and the idea that allowing them to follow you somehow dilutes your credibility, I just have to disagree. To me that places the burden on the wrong person. I don't have time to waste pruning those who follow me, unless they are overtly annoying.My stream is public, they can follow me anyway. What matters to me is that the spammers leave me alone. If they don't, I block them. If they keep quiet, I don't care. - Patricia F. Anderson

What is important is not who follows me, but who *I* follow. - Patricia F. Anderson

Follow me if you want, but I gotta warn ya, it's scintillating stuff! - Pierce Presley

Funny my twitter feed is much noisier but I have been very selective on who I follow. I have tried to make the feed relevant and actionable. At times I post things that seem out of the norm on my twitter feed but that is mainly for the few people who follow me that don't get it but I am trying to keep up their interest level. I also control who follows me, yes this breaks the model but I think the follow everyone model was broken and reckless - Richard Gallo

Am I interesting? Dunno. I'm often controversial, tho. ;) BTW, we met in person at a Pittsburgh Blogfest, but I really don't expect you to remember that. - Eric Williams

Enjoyed the post. I just started Twitter a few days ago to get away from Facebook. I like friendfeed the best - can't wait until it becomes more mainstream. - Robby Parker

Awesome move. Consider that my comment please :) - Charlotte Barker

friendfeed is definitively more evolved that Twitter. Conversely, user bases of Twitter is still its real (and unique) point of strenght... - Marco Castellani

Don't want you to follow me (unless you find my stream of interest) but it's quite interesting the number of people that comment to get you to follow! - Ben Drury

Hey Robert! So, I would like to talk to you about a social media company I'm working with right now. They launched a few months ago and their trajectory and momentum is pretty amazing. Oh, and I started unfollowing the noise in my Twitter after I commented on your blog post. - Gregg Le Blanc

Great ideas. I've been selective (though it fluctuates) about following people/accounts on Twitter since I joined about 2 years ago. I can't take too much noise. - Joe Lance from twhirl

I'm asking the same thing Bas asked... what about your video on the benefits of following so many people? I took a stab at that method of madness by starting to follow all kinds of people, and following anyone that followed me... but I always felt like I was missing good content from good people because of all the "spam". I started to use TweetDeck to create groups/columns for... more... - Timothy Federwitz

@Patricia - reminds me that I should probably review all my twitter followers and thin things down. :) - JA Castillo

thanks - Keith

I like conversing with interesting people. Sometimes that means commenting to get followed, @cogiva. ;) - Eric Williams

Hi Scoble! - Pete Gilbert

I did almost the same thing - unfollowed about 1000 from my 1500, no attention is way better - Maarten den Braber

Couldn't agree more. It's about time we all grew up. BTW Don't follow me. :-) - Gee Ranasinha

Robert what's the deal with Twitter? - stockmanmarc

Your post makes good sense. I didn't auto-follow & still find folks to unfollow because their noise gets too loud. - Debra Ellis

Very clever. I imagine the signal to noise is sooooo much better. - Chris Brogan

I've been thinking about unfollowing a bunch twitter folks as well. I'll look at SocialToo again. My initial experience with SocialToo wasn't good. However, it was during their infancy. - Ron Hudson

I don't blame you at all. Leo was all over that yesterday. - Daniel B. Honigman

why would simply leaving a comment prompt you to follow me? - David Wescott

You're not going to change your mind and mass unfollow us are you? - walidmREALTOR

Sup! :-) - Jon Winters

I suspect it identifies you as a real person interested in dialog, David. - Eric Williams

Followers are currency and you have plenty to spend - Lee Odden

Bob, did you do anything on Twitter recently ? Did you massively refollow people ? Seems like you screwed up Twitter : down for a while... ;-) - Enikao

Follow me! @carloscomputers - carloscomputers

very cool timing with just before twitter goes down hard! well done Robert! @crbrowning - Colin

Good to hear that your experiment has stopped the spam @lindsaydavies - Lindsay Davies

ciao Robert! - alex

Your ego is amazing. You make it seem like it is a special deal to be followed by you. I'm glad there are many very bright, talented people here who follow others, regardless of class, education, social status and not based on some snobbish criteria. - RuthNH

DON'T follow me! I write in Italian :-) - Lorenzo Strambi

Here I be - Robert

Wow, this is a lot of comments. And kudos for following Followable people who have something interesting to contribute to your day. I'm glad you did it, because that means you'll find AND share more interesting things. This, in turn, makes you more followable too. Thanks for seeing the light, so to speak. - ax0n

You killed twitter. - Melissa Pierce

Did this take down Twitter this morning Robert? - frank barry

That must of taken a long time :-) I've always been a fan of twitter, but I must say they have struggled in the last few weeks. We are working with their API on a project and their seems to be an issue every other day that causes problems. Do they have what it takes? - Chris Nadeau

I follow under 200 people and it's great. I can't imagine 1k+ . I add about three or four a month. - Mike Janicke

I unfollow people when I find I ignore their tweets/updates. After reading your blog, I think we ALL need to be more judicious. - Janet Barker-Evans

Is this why Twitter is down? LOL! Can't check to see if you unfollowed me. Hope not. You, Shel Israel, and Jeremiah Owyang were some of the very first people I followed way back before Twitter even had 100,000 people on the service. -- It's been a fun ride but, of course, the spammers always show up to make things difficult. - Brenda Young

How do you really know if you should be following someone until you follow them for a while? Sometimes I don't start talking to someone until I see a common interest, then I tweet back and we start talking, but that could be months later. I don't follow everyone back, but I follow back those that interact. I will unfollow once I see that won't happen, or I don't like their tweets. - Nadine Gilden

Twitter is victime of it own success, they have to re learn how to scal better, but more important they have to learn to share better. - abdellah

looks like you'll need to follow at least 343 people LOL - Shari Weiss

Friendfeed takes over for twitter finally? - Thomas Resing

@Patricia I don't want potential followers to be put off by who is following me. I wouldn't want them to think I care more about have n+1 followers than I do about what they're going to see if they review who I've allowed to follow me. Not to cull spammers suggests I care more about my experience than theirs. To a great extent, the quality of their experience will determine the quality... more... - Andrew Spong

Hi Robert!! :) - Zaneology from Nambu

Respect your opinion Robert but we'll have to agree to disagree. Yes I despise all the FakePornSpamBots who follow me. I block as many as I can, but can't keep up. Our views differ regarding what is important to SEE! I treasure home Home stream! I read it, refresh, read, refresh and in minutes I have the pulse of the world... at least MY world! EVERYONE has something of value to share at some point. If I UNfollow tens of thousands, I will miss so much worthy of consideration. - Arleen Anderson

Just another reason why it's good to diversify, I can still read your posts here. :) - Luis Sandoval

Cheers! - Jeff Wiant

Funny. I was catching up on news on Friendfeed for some odd reason. Great post; plenty for new and long-time users alike to consider there. - Alex Howard

I'm still waiting for the ultimate tool to manage my followings - I can only manage to keep up with about 1/3 of those following me. I'd love to see something that can tell me what friends of mine also follow those that I am or those that are following me. Maybe it's out there and I missed it? - TheDiva Rockin

Anyone interested in assessing the quality of their followers should check http://tweetblocker.com. It's pretty chastening. I aim to improve on my C rating. http://www.buzzom.com is a fun, fast way of decoupling yourself from non-reciprocal followers. You can select individuals to purge, or flush 50 random non-reciprocal followers at a time. - Andrew Spong

Robert, your timing could not be better. ;-) - Dave Martin

Great post, with perfect timing! Dang it, Dave Martin just took it off my lips. - Vadim Lavrusik

I hereby rename this comment thread neoTwitter <waves at followers> - Andrew Spong

/me waves - Kevin Johnson from iPhone

Awww, you gotta admit, saturation, the level of influence that you have, because of your high follower, count, is a tool of mass destruction. Seriously, did you think if you recommend an online service that people would not try it out? Was this an asassination attempt - Peter Murphy

I'm glad i'm not the only one who misses /me actions from IRC, Kevin. ;) - Eric Williams

With today's Twitter outage your timing is pretty stinking good, Robert. :) - Chris Cree

Now to get the rest of the world to follow that same logic when it comes to follow/unfollow! I only started being more selective as Twitter (and everyone else) started getting aggressive with spammers or anyone that even remotely did a single spammy tweet. Now if only there were the same contact management tools available for the other social networks as with Twitter. No matter what though, I'll continue updating my status when I eat a peanut butter sandwich! (With Fluff of course!). - Paul Monaco

Twitter couldn't handle the mass unfollow load, blew up... - manielse (Mark Nielsen)

I've been followed by Robert Scoble :-) - David Finch

Now I think that it is time to think about a way to make money using Twitter. - abdellah

@Mark, +1. When in doubt, the default delegation of blame goes to Robert. - Dave Martin

what is critical mass for twitter? Too few and nobody interacts, Too many and spam bots overwhelm, Is it 1K or 2K needed to get a real experience? - WarLord

Hmm can you unsubscribe from "comment notification via e-mail" in FF on a *specific* topic? This one :-) - Patrick Mackaaij

Of course I thonk it is a different experience if you hand follow reading each bio from the beginning then these mass purges are unnecessary - WarLord

I thought you already followed me. lol - Duane-PreppyDude

Not sure if you do, but here I am... - Aron Michalski

I am intrigued how RT addict will RT now?!! (ps: FF please don't post this to my twitter) - abdellah

I have been keeping my twitter account private a majority of the time lately b/c I am going through a divorce, but I really kinda like it. Have been reducing followers as well as the number I follow. - Jackson Miller

You should follow me here in FF and on Twitter too! - Karthi

hopefully most of us have proven our worth beyond commenting on this single thread - andy brudtkuhl

I like the way you operate, Scoble. Thanks in advance for the follow! - Dr. Frank Ramblings, Ph.D

Nice way of doing it... - Charles

No need to follow me unless you are actually going to engage in conversation with me. - Jeff Hurt

If you're already following and we comment, will you unfollow? *wink Hoping all is well your way! - Dayngr

4&5 are my favorite! Those are big reasons I decide to follow someone too. - Kelly Mitton

I'm lucky. Have never had Twitter spam. But then again I'm no Scoble either :) - Lori Reed

I am the peanut butter eating bot - Benjamin Spector

If you are already following me on ff does that mean I get a cookie or something? ;-) - Tomy Thomson

I'll add my name to the list. I came back to FF after the Twitter DoS outage. Maybe Scoble broke Twitter by all his unfollowing. He was the "glue" holding Twitter together. :-) - Tom Newman

Robert: Here's the bit you missed off the end of your title here: .... and put them in that group I don't read :-) - Jim Connolly

Hi Robert, greetings from germany. - Flynn (Michael A. Volz)

add me for your social media and the practice of law news! - Rex Gradeless

Great post. I'm sure that some people might say that this kind of mass unfollowing will hurt Twitter, but I think it's just the opposite. Users who are following people they have no interest in just to pad their own numbers are diminishing the meaning of "following." - Mark Denton

@Ulrichmargarita - Ulrichmargarita

To stave off being unfollowed we need to comment here ya say? - Jason

you are already following me here... perhaps you'll consider re-following me on twitter too - t i n y m

I don't know how you ever did it the other way. I am not in the tech world near as much as I used to be, which wasn't a whole lot. I just followed some random people I saw on SMugMug-related people on here when I started. You were one of them. I had no idea who you were (and still don't :-), but you talked about Twitter a lot too, which got me on there as well. Both services have really... more... - James Schipper

Quality over quantity in all things, including (perhaps especially) Twitter. Loved your friending methodology -- those are the same rules I've applied since being on Twitter. Posted them onto Posterous to share the love with credit to you: http://lorilaurentsmith.posterous.com/ - Lori Laurent Smith

it's not about unfollowing, it's about filtering... - Barak Hachamov

I started out following everyone on Twitter.Then I got wise. When someone's stream becomes more noise than signal, that's when I consider unfollowing. I realize that threshhold is different for everyone, but I'll take "what I had for lunch" over a dozen bogus "marketing tips" any day. - Julie Barrett from twhirl

Well, I am trying to use FriendFeed more after watching Scoble's video on all those monitors he had up. I'm not a big consumer of information and don't own a TV but this online social stuff has been a perfect fit into my life because I can connect with people who are fountains of knowledge on a specific subject or are "human mashups". I like both! - Adria Richards

Why !? - Bertrand Soulier from iPhone

I've been reading al of this unfollow bits, and this point of yours: - Donna

Hey, I think that today you might make your point about FriendFeed being more interesting than Twitter. Hope you are well. Talked with @fransteps this morning and she is excited to work with you at Rackspace. - Kami Huyse

hi - George Desmyter

I would appreciate the follow, thanks! - Jeff Reisdorfer

I've been reading all of this un-follow posts lately, and this point of yours in WHY you unfollowed: "#2 Because I personally care about everyone I am following their noise level is a LOT lower. ." Is exactly what I do. And now I am starting to understand Friendfeed more. and using posterous to do aggregate posts. So is this overload making more people sit up and think first? I think so. At least the intelligent ones. - Donna

I love you Scoble! ;) - Carol Levesque

with all due sycophantism :) - jeff hammond

This is a great move, Robert. It's also a lot more human...I was almost convinced that you were the only person who could actually drink from the fire hose without choking. - Steffan Antonas

That sounds fair. After this morning, I've renewed my love for FriendFeed and Tweetworks. Until the next DDos attacks, of course. I will miss the fake porn stars, but I did when I moved from L.A. - Scott Pierce

Steffan; I agree...there is no way anyone else could do what Robert S. does. It's good to see him become human. - Robert Jones

This has been my problem for about the past six months. I routinely go in and unfollow, get the noise level down to where I want it, and then end up following back a bunch of new people, some of whom I'm incredibly grateful to get to know. When I had track, it was a whole lot easier to manage the stream, but I suspect even that tool would now be out of hand. I have a set of rules for... more... - Karoli

hee hee. i am commenting not so much to beg your follow but what a clever pitch:) - Tresha Thorsen

Robert - I have not read all 416 comments so if this was asked and you answered forgive me. What was the all of a sudden revelation that caused you to reverse stance on Twitter Followers? - Jeff Vreeland

It's difficult to maintain and filter a list on all the social networking sites. I cannot even imagine maintaining the kinds of lists you must deal with, Robert. - Jeremy Brooks

Dude, you broke Twitter! When you unfollowed all of your 100,000 the other day you pulled the rug right out from under it, so it fell down and now it can't reach its beer. :-) - Robert Morrison

Actually I felt rather sad being fav'ed by you on FriendFeed then dumped.. But again. I get more from you from FriendFeed, so oh well, stop talking about Following and Get on more with Tech! :P - Du Senyao Peter

Me Me! lol! - Bill McGehee

i like the idea of importing favorite tweets into friendfeed. i haven't used that favorite feature much because i haven't seen any real use in it. thanks! - Jonathan Blundell

When twitter is down I always wish I could tweet: checkout friendfeed. Nevertheless, how will following folk that leave a message here really improve the quality of your input? While I don't want to judge many of the fine folk on this thread, are they all that interesting? In other words, isn't this the start of the same problem you had on Twitter... - Jon Mountjoy

what like here? this is a comment :) - michelle harris

Barak - isn't filtering just unfollowing while pretending you're still following? ;) - Matthew Blaisdell

Well to bounce back on your Twitter is down comment I think it is time to watch this video again http://www.youtube.com/watch... Hilarious! - 77Agency

My favorite album is "Off the Wall" ... though my favorite song may be "Wanna Be Startin' Something" - tiffany

Of course, Thriller - Wizetux

Ditto tiffany. - Ayşe E.

My favorite album is Off the Wall also. I love Thriller, but Off the Wall was pure Mike. God damn, this is fucking me up. - DO ANYBODY NO MONIQUE

Album, Thriller. Having trouble choosing just one song. - Kamilah Gill

You know what video I love? The Scream video with him and Janet, shot in black and white. Love that joint. - Derrick

my favorite album is Dangerous. The production quality on that is still astounding to listen to. Very personal songs on that one too, the frustration with fame seeping through his lyrics... - Nathan Chase

Beat it. - Colette

Off the Wall is the best song of his career, IMO. Wanna Be Startin' Something is a (very) close second. - cecily

I loved Smooth Criminal - jamar78

PYT. I love that song. - Anna Lynn M.

beat it - Joshua Smith from twhirl

and Butterflies :) - Anna Lynn M.

Man in the Mirror, was pretty good. That was the theme song to one of the drama plays done during my Senior year in HS. - Dan Woods

Off the wall - PYT - anna sauce

definitely, "Beat It" - Harold

album: off the wall. song: man in the mirror or burn this disco out - chrisofspades

Human Nature. - Sprague D

ok, i'm listening to "Gold" right now, which I had never heard before (I'm of the "Off the Wall" / "Thriller" / "Bad" generation) http://www.amazon.com/Gold-Mi... this might be a new favorite. - tiffany

Bad - Mo Kargas

Thriller. - Chris, Taskerrific Guy

Off the Wall is the banger album. "Don't Stop 'til You Get Enough" is hottest track on that album...and for me "Rock With You" comes in at a close second. - Carlos Ayala

it's so hard to pick yo. my mom loves "ben." you know, i don't think i have ever seen my parents broken up (not majorly as if family had died, mind you) over a celebrity. they're both 15 years older than him too, so his death is hitting them in a different way. - tiffany

ok... i might change my favorite song to "i can't help it" - tiffany

Working Day and Night, album "Off the Wall" - Ms_Krista

Cosign with Derrick on Scream. That song and video are SO off the chain. I have a 12" single with a club remix that is FIRE. - Ms_Krista

agreed "scream" is bananas too. and i do like "butterflies" as well - tiffany

It's probably 'Rock With You' although picking a favorite MJ song is like picking a favorite star. There's too many to choose from and they are all great. Off the Wall and Thriller hold equal footing. I refuse to choose. - Jason Toney

Beat It, Rock With You, Thriller, PYT, I'll Be There - those have the best memories attached to them - Melissa

Smooth Criminal. - Kol Tregaskes

Definitely Thriller - Patrick

"Beat It", with Eddie Van Halen's guitar solo. Epic! - Thierry R. Andriamirado

really? that was eddie van halen? i did not know that - tiffany

Off The Wall for me too!! - Zulema ◕ ◡ ◕ from BuddyFeed

Off the Wall & Rock With You. - Roger Benningfield

And then the man did "Scream" and I laid down all criticism I ever had of the man. It's A-MAZ-ING. - teh Dork Knight aka Kenny

"earth song" ... - Do-Risika

Billie Jean is Pop perfection. Produced by Quincy Jones, one of the greats, performed by the very best. I'll willingly accept that Beat It and Smooth Criminal are hench but seriously Billie Jean is one of the best records of all time. - Toby Graham

I always thought the beat it guitar solo was Slash. maybe because I've seen him perform it with Slash at least once. good to be corrected though. - chrisofspades from email

...too many to pick. i honestly can't think of a Michael Jackson song I didn't like at some level. - .LAG liked that

.LAG you're right. Even the ones I don't love, I at least like. - Jason Toney

tough question. there are so many. i would have to see which albums they're on too. - Valley

I'm going to cheat. Album: His greatest hits (is it History?) Song: PYT (Pretty Young Thing) - Shevonne

@Shevonne good answer - Valley

Wanna be starting something and Beat it. - vijay

Off the Wall; Human Nature - Bren -- feeling merry

Off the Wall; Can you feel it (Jacksons I know) - Tony

best single song? gonna go with Smooth Criminal. Nice to see Off the Wall get so much love though! - Edward Zwart

Human Nature @bren ;) - diego morelli

Thriller/The Way You Make Me Feel - Emma

The Way You Make Me Feel, Smooth Criminal, and Ain't No Sunshine. - Patrick Jordan

a song few think about: "Give in to me", feat. Slash. Love that one. - diego morelli

A lot of times, it's "I'll Be There," with his brothers; sometimes it's "You are Not Alone;" sometimes it's "Farewell, My Summer Love;" sometimes it's "Will You Be There," or "You Can't Win," or "Say Say Say," with Paul McCartney...sometimes it's too doggoned many to answer. - MiniMage TKDteacher of FF

i have changed my mind. my favorite is "baby be mine." it's just such a good song. SUCH a good song - tiffany

Off the Wall. I still listen to it. Song is a tie between Rock with You/ Human Nature and It's the Falling in Love. - Kisha, Well Conditioned from BuddyFeed

I'm not sure LeBron could hit that shot again. - Jed

Oh wait, there's an astronaut in the Angels broadcast booth, the geek in me must depart for a few minutes. :) - Steve C

They are tossing T's like it's nothing. Add the 7 T rule, the refs have too much control - Rodfather

The weird part is how the league can overrule and remove technicals. But at the same time, they can't subtract the 1-point free throw. - Jed

The way they are calling, D Howard is almost guaranteed to miss a game this series or the final if they make it. Fans don't want that - Rodfather

If Shaq is half as arrogant as a broadcaster as he is as a player, I don't want to hear him - Patrick Jordan from BuddyFeed

Did we already talk about how that T was bull? - Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah

Yeah. - Jed

yep - Wayne Sutton

Delonte West with some TOUGH d-fense! - .LAG liked that

Yep, bs - Rodfather

I'm sorry but there's no excuse for a professional basketball player not to be able to make free throws other than being a lazy ass who doesn't like to practice them - Steve C

Another big shot. - Jed

great ball movement - Wayne Sutton

what killed me is the NBA giving a technical to Dahntay Jones for tripping Kobe last night after the game was over and then fining Phil Jackson for calling the refs inconsistent. How's that work out? - Cee Bee

...yup, great ball movement - .LAG liked that

doug is so going for Clevand,.... skip to my lou! And1 for the win! - Wayne Sutton

They called a T after the game was over? - Rodfather

it's not over yet but I hope the King is getting ready for a L - Wayne Sutton

Lebron is a big guy, but I don't think he's going to be able to carry the Cavs much farther. - Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah

Even if LeBron and the Cavs win everything, it wouldn't surprise me if he left anyway. - Jed

like young jordan getting crushed by detroit 'team' ! - Yunus Tunak

nope, his sidekicks Mo and Gibson are not helping out tonight - Wayne Sutton

Magic are a good team, I'm not sure if they could handle the Lakers though - Matt Bebich

Yuns, please don't compare LeBron to Jordan.. - Wayne Sutton

I'm not sure the Lakers can "handle" the Nuggets either. - Jed

Never count out Lebron. Remember that one playoff game against Detroit a few years back. Or was it last year - Rodfather

yeah the Lakers have to get past the nuggets - Wayne Sutton

not comparing he will learn like him - Yunus Tunak

yeah were he it 29 straight points? I hope the magic is smart enough that if Lebron gets going like that to put him on the line - Wayne Sutton

I think it was game 5 against detroit. Best performance I ever saw - Rodfather

In unimportant news i returned to the basketball game after the Angels announcer asked the astronaut guest in the booth "what's it like to go to the bathroom in space." Facepalm. And now back to the game - Steve C

Great question. He's been on most of the game. - Jed

Orlando should just give the ball to whoever Wally is guarding - Rodfather

Lewis and Hedu are clutch - Patrick Jordan from BuddyFeed

Neither of these teams have a legitimate offense IMO, i can't believe Orlando's shooting of 3's tonight, can that hold? - Steve C

They've been known to shoot a lot of 3s. It really depends on the night if they go in or not. - Jed

Steve true.. Lakers Triangle, Denver, 3s too - Wayne Sutton

Orlando lives and dies by the 3. - Rodfather

they did all season and they can - Yunus Tunak

That's why a Nuggets/Magic final would be either really epic, or a real bust. - Jed

Somebody help me out. What defensive strategy are the cavs running that keeps leaving people wide open for 3s? - Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah

lol epci! - Wayne Sutton

... the Magic offense is: feed it into SuperMan, if nothing's there, kick it out for a 3 - .LAG liked that

I say epic as well. - Jed

Lebron usually doesn't do anything too stupid to earn one - Rodfather

For the rest he does everthing with his right hand.

Microsoft recently bragged about how many consoles they moved this past Black Friday. - Larry

At this point I don't even want to get it fixed. PS3 FTW. - Leo Laporte

those xbox360 -- thats part of the reason i bought and use the PS3 - Bryce Campbell from twhirl

The thing is, I do like the Xbox and really, really hate the PS3. Not sure why, but I have felt no love towards any Sony console ever made. - Robert Miller

Hardware-wise, the 360 is a piece of junk. No way around it. Sadly though, the games that I care about playing are on that system - and not on the PS3 or the Wii. I buy the games, not the systems they are on. And Lost Odyssey, Mass Effect, Tales of Vesperia, Gears of War, Fable 2, etc. are all 360 exclusives. So c'est la vie, non? - Javier Altman

Friend had the red ring of death on his 2 XBOXs and was able to fix one which was caused by weak solder joins on mboard. - Greg

Gotta luv the PS3! - Joe

Javier: I agree. The hardware is poorly designed and built while the games rock and, as with you, the games I care about are 360 exclusive. - Robert Miller

i hear the new ones don't overheat. too bad they won't fix them for free anymore though - Josh Betz

I don't play my 360 at night, the fan is too loud and my 3 year old will wake up. - Larry

The fan is louder than the game? My friends had this theory when their first child was an infant; they said they'd make noise when the kid was sleeping to get the kid to learn to sleep through noise. She's now almost six, and I have to admit it seems to be working. We were at their house a week ago, and we weren't quiet, even after she went (unhappily) to bed. - MiniMage TKDteacher of FF

I think your friends are right. - Robert Miller

360 = best software (new update is incredible) and games, ps3 = best hardware and reliability. I'll take a 360 with a warranty plan over a ps3 anyday. - Eduardo Merille

EVERYTHING distracts me from being productive. Even being productive distracts me from being productive! - MiniMage TKDteacher of FF

Our Xbox is ridiculously quiet. Sometimes I don't even know it's on. Of course, the fan on our computer is loud as hell, so maybe that's drowning out the noise. - Admiral Anika

As much as you want to love the 360, with its shiny new firmware and solid library, the hardware is just too large of a defector. I've owned an Xbox 360 twice in my life and was even thinking about trying out the console again (Netflix & I miss Xbox Live) hoping they would have their hardware failures solved by now but even untouched Xbox's find themselves wearing red. - Chad

text so what about the recent hardware revision? isn't that making a difference? - John Blanton from IM

I'm getting my friends RRoD'd 360. I've seen some guides online on how to fix the heat problem (new bit of thermal paste and proper heat sink mounting). That's pretty much the only reason I'd get a 360 until the Jasper revision (hopefully) proves itself. - Brendan McCue

I was considering a 360 but your picture just scribbled that out. Maybe I'll wait for PS3 prices to drop. - Larry Hudson

Ryo, Thanks for the advice. I'll check out the Wii. Maybe I'll wait for the Pippin 2. - Larry Hudson

Ouch. Unlucky Leo. - ralphsaunders

I've been using my Xbox less and less because its fan sounds like a vacuum cleaner. The PlayStation I got? Silent as a mouse. - Robert Scoble

C'mon its not the PS3's fault iut has no games. xD - ralphsaunders from twhirl

That's why I would never get a XBox - Outsanity

I've simply never had a problem with my XBox 360 and I've had it from the beginning. I'm not denying that everyone else is having problems, but add +1 to the list of completely satisfied customers. - Eric Florenzano

This is why I have never gotten around to buying one I keep hearing the same story from everyone. - John D Reasor

I owned a 360 and now own a PS3 and have found the PS3 even though more expensive a much more satisfying experience. The blu-ray player ad's so much value, especially figuring you can watch a movie with out a jet engine running in the background. - Kyle DeFacis

It's not the fan you guys are hearing but the disc drive, when you spin it up with a game or movie in there you can hear it loud and clear. Play a downloaded game or movie file over the network and it's whisper quiet. Sadly the failure rate IS very high on the 360, I avoided the machine until recently I'm just hoping mine never dies I don't think i'd be willing to buy another. - Bryan

Haven't they fixed this yet? - Chris Pugh

Welcome to the glory and power that is Playstaton 3! - Kent Jenkins

Listen I did the same thing you did dumped my Xbox360 after 3 red rings I went to a PS3 bought a 60GB Oct2007 guess what OCT 2008 the bluray player went dead and Sony refused to fix it because I was 2 weeks past my Warranty. Trust Me dont waste the Money I traded it and bought a new 360 the fan noise is gone its actually as quiet as a PS3. The unit is actually a lot better than the launch unit I purchased. In fact just buy an Arcade for 199 and throw your HD on use the Money you save to buy some games. - charles

I just wanted to add one more thing I wont admit this to any of my fellow gamers at work but I admit it I made a mistake I regret ever buying a PS3 not only did it break just like the Xbox it has no games. Now after being a year away I am trying to catch up with Lost Odyssey, Mass effect, Tales of Vespera After playing Uncharted, MGS and Resistance there is nothing to play. Like I said in my other post buy the Arcade use the Money you save and instead of buying games buy a stand alone Bluray player. - charles
