Loic: you'll notice, though, that I'm looking for more smart people to follow. That's what's driving this, not a beg for more followers. And, also, note that I'm trying to add some value to the exhaust I send along to the people who do follow me. I'm trying to find smarter people to listen to, so that my exhaust is smarter too. It's who you follow that defines you.

"It's who you follow that defines you" Very true.

- Robert Scoble
Why only scientists, doctors, and the other categories named here? What is "smart"? In my book, there are different types of intelligence, and I don't see any artists, writers, musicians, or smart plumbers on this list. What's with strictly equating an occupation with intelligence? Let's think a little more openly, please.

Robert, you should be following some of the wine geeks (and not just GaryV, who dwells on another plane of existence). There's not many of them of FF yet, but what they lack in intelligence (per se), they more than make up with personality and opinion.
- Randy Hall
i am the smartest :D
- atalmatal
Someone like Tim Elliot (on FF) or Tom Wark (not on FF, but I'm trying!)
- Randy Hall
Respectfully, kind of a one sided list there. There's also the creative, often less linear side. Different kind of "smart" - and not a lot of them on here unfortunately. Writers, directors, artists, etc. Different assumptions about the world, different ways of looking at it and processing it.
- Dean Terry
I'm a physicist but never think a phycist can be smart:D
- Maryamss
But I haven't seen any geek who could be said smart ... all of them live isolated in their office (Generally)
- saee:Dsharif
Can we find the smartest person on FF and have them make a Gattica room and then they can screen for the genetically and educationally superior among us? That would be awesome
- Marco(aureliusmaximus)
Physicists are smart enough to know that they know absolutely nothing. Quantum entanglement still blows my mind.
- xero
agree with xero

- Zahra HB
In general Robert, I think we have serious under-representation of the sciences here on FF. There seems to be a vibrant community of Bio-chemists that I am tracking via @neilfws and @mndoci that also tackle more general subjects like doing science in the Web 2.0 setting. Until now I could not find anything comparable in my side of the woods, i.e. systems research in networking, etc. There is a large community of us on Facebook, but my friends there are slow in accepting FF
- Vlado Handziski
I agree w/Berci below--that's a good place to start, but it's an aggregate of ALL doc/medstudent bloggers, some far more tech saavy than others. By definition, most docs don't have a TON of time for noodling online to keep active in all communities, but there's no shortage of us who attempt to leverage newer social tech to our professional advantage--and more of a 'purist' approach, not for slimy marketing gimmicks either.
- Enrico C.
from twhirl
3rd year Computer Science Undergrad. Yeaah, we need a dedicated CS room. What say you???????
- Roberto Bonini
Does a qualification make you smart?
- Michael McGimpsey
from twhirl
That's absolutely right, Vlado! Life scientists and medical professionals are under-represented in Friendfeed and it will take a lot of time to persuade others to join us. For example, I only know about 3 medical students (including me) who are on Friendfeed. What do tech guys think about that? How could we persuade more people of these fields to join Friendfeed?
- Berci Mesko, MD
Berci: one problem is that newbies are not able to immediately see the richness of the FF world (the experience is coupled with the number of subs, participation, etc.), and they loose interest fast. That is why I like the approach of creating rooms dedicated to different science areas and exporting their feeds to colleagues, so they can learn about the dynamics on FF even before they join.
- Vlado Handziski
I did a Ph.D. in bioinformatics / computational biology and is currently in the process of starting my own research group. I will leave it to others to judge if that is a smart thing to do ;-)
- Lars Juhl Jensen
BTW: there is a considerable number of life scientists at FF - just take a look at group "The Life Scientists".
- Lars Juhl Jensen
Well, I do have a degree in Physics but do not use it. =)
- Jauder Ho
Personally, I look for motivated people to follow, those who are following their passions to make the world (at least THEIR part in the world) a better place. I have 3 graduate degrees (Rehabilitation, Mental Health, and Education) and 2 professional licenses but no longer work in the field. I write about the field, using my knowledge of related topics, but do nothing that requires those qualifications. So the degrees aren't everything.
- Shelly Weiss
It's really cool of Scoble to want to "give back" something to those who follow him. Anyway, what's Scoble's definition of "Smart"? I am a Web Ninja (Developer, Engineer, whatever you call it, but because I enjoy my work, I prefer to call myself a NInja), and a part-time Radio Host, so am I smart? Hmm..
- Winston Teo
Winston, he already defined it: 1) Anyone who is a scientist (including, but possibly not limited to: physicists, chemists, and material scientists), 2) doctors, 3) economists, 4) lawyers, 5) some engineers (including, but possibly not limited to software engineers), and 6) Anyone who is married to a CERN physicist.
- Mark Trapp
Mark: my definition of smart is much broader than that, but I only have about 200 characters to play with on FriendFeed. I used to room with a janitor who was smart. They are rare, but out there. Probably are programming on weekends like this guy was. I'm thinking about why some people are smart. Probably has something to do with the first words out of their mouth are about ideas, not about celebrities.
- Robert Scoble
I have a B.Sc. in psychology, half of a B.Eng., and a graduate certificate in corporate communications & public relations. Does that make me smart? Maybe. Lets have a conversation, and you can judge for yourself.
- Rick Weiss
Here's a few excellent subscriptions outside the usual tech crowd: Maxine Clarke, editor at the journal Nature (http://friendfeed.com/mlc), Howard Rheingold, who coined the term "virtual community" (http://friendfeed.com/howardr...), Richard Akerman, technology architect at Canada's National Science Library (http://friendfeed.com/scilib), Attila Csordas, biotechnologist who is into life extension, Cameron Neylon, chemist at Univ. Southampton (http://friendfeed.com/cameron...).

Nearby, fireworks exploded as part of Australia Day celebrations. On the far right, lightning from a thunderstorm flashed in the distance.

Not to be too cynical but that shot seems to good to be true -- I wonder if there is more processing going on than the text seems to admit.
- Brian Sullivan

- Jason Toney
ahhh good one
- Dobromir Hadzhiev
I'm going to side with Brian here. What is right: Comet McNaught was that bright in WA (I use to live there), but I checked my attempted pics, they predate this by over a week. I'm sure the comet was only that bright for less than a week. Second, the main Australia Day fireworks occur in Perth City...which isn't near a beach . Maybe it's Leighton Beach with Fremantle to the left...but it doesn't seem right. I did check the weather records though, there was a storm that night, and it's in the right direction
- Duncan Riley
I do hope it is real though...and I forgot how wonderful the environment there is
- Duncan Riley
Now the wallpaper on my iMac
- Adam Helweh
Duncan, last year both Fremantle and I believe Hillarys held their own fireworks for Australia Day. I myself was trying to guess the location this morning. Being a regular on Leighton beach though it doesn't look familiar so I was thinking it may have been taken to the north of Hillarys. It also made me very nostalgic for Perth :)
