Heaps of fantastic shares from unknowns get almost completely ignored and yet Scoble shares "Scoble" and gets 50 comments.
What shares have we missed? Put URLs here. - Robert Scoble
Robert, I wasn't thinking of specific URLs. No criticism of you intended, I'm just mulling things over, but you have to admit 50 comments when you share your surname is disproportionate, and unless that share is hidden it makes it easier to miss interesting stuff. Or were you just testing your theory from http://pastoid.com/0p+ ("... smart people talk to you about ideas, not about celebrities.”) - Michael C. Harris
Actually that whole post was a mistake, which makes it funnier. But I disagree with you. It hid nothing. Anyone who wanted to see more could have just clicked " hide." - Robert Scoble
Michael, sometimes, it's all for fun. Did you catch this thread? http://friendfeed.com/e... - Louis Gray
Robert, I did say unless it was hidden. Louis, absolutely it's for fun, I'm not being all serious, and I'm not criticising the fact that Robert shared "Scoble" at all. Just thinking about the things that get a lot of action. - Michael C. Harris
And thanks for the link to asdf, reminds me of a usenet post when I was in uni. Someone posted "Yes" with an empty body, and the thread ended up having a couple of thousand replies, being revived periodically. It becomes the stuff of folk lore :) - Michael C. Harris
Look at it this way - if Scoble (or anyone else with a very large following) shares one of my things, I'm not going to argue about it. A few days ago, he entered a Disqus comment to one of my blog posts, and the Disqus comment appeared on his feed. This resulted in a ton of conversation. (For the record, I don't believe that conversation fragmentation is a bad thing, especially since my blog post itself was sourced from something that I saw on FriendFeed.) - Ontario Emperor
