So, no correlation. And I was so happy about being listed. Oh well...
- Ignacio Rodriguez de R,
As I told Mahrendra, I could make my numbers look a lot better by reducing my feed by thousands of followers, and thereby increasing my ratio.

My "respect ratio" is 29. Do I get a prize?

- Mahendra (SkepticGeek)
Nice post Mahrendra. I have noticed people with >50k followers on 6/8 lists and those with 500 followers on 20 lists. When I've checked them out, all those accounts with the massive follower counts were basically using Twitter as a broadcast medium. Thanks for the post.
- Jim Connolly
Thank you, Jim. The phenomenon you describe was one of the things that led me to investigate this further. :)

One thing I really like about social media companies like LinkedIn and Twitter is that they are rendering defunct all those sales/mgmt folks whose only claim to fame is that they have a Rolodex
rowlikeagirl, Ignacio Rodriguez de R,, Atul Arora and 3 other people liked this
But the Rolodex is assumed to carry with it relationships which can't be replaced by software. So while the comment may be "he has a big Rolodex", it means he also has the relationships and experience to go with it.
- Louis Gray
@Louis , I am not so sure that is the case in many instances. Take exec. recruiters for instances do they really have long-drawn relationships with a ton of people. I would say they have a few of those but in many cases they may just have had a cursory meeting or two. Same goes for PR. As an example - a start-up in early 2000s had not way of getting to a blogger/news paper without hiring a PR agency. Now PR agencies are not all that important anymore...

- Adrian Scicluna
There is no way I could use Twitter lists like Google Reader. I just see those completely differently. I gotta say I enjoy seeing the Friendfeeders engage when Scoble does say something 'controversial.' I enjoy the debate over tool use and application, we can all learn from it.

You seem to understand that RSS is still important, especially for filtering, etc. While Robert serves a purpose (like getting the FF guys to pop in and say everything is going to be ok here), his stream is far less likely to teach me anything.

I just like poking Louis because he is usually early on things. This time he isn't, though. But I'm not deleting my Google account. Just noticing that he's sharing the same kind of things I am, albeit slower. We'll debate this someday soon and we'll all have a good laugh. Personally I've noticed the same shift in attention away from Google Reader that I've noticed in shift away from FriendFeed. Which is why it's interesting to fight about.

Overheard... ("I just like poking Louis because he is early on things")
- Jesse Stay
I'd rather be right then early. That said, Robert, I followed you to Google Reader, the link blog and Facebook. If I am doing this slower, it's both due to speed of discovery and not being as always on as I would like to portray.
- Louis Gray
Louis: that's cool. In all of these cases is there really anything close to "right" or "wrong?" Not really. But there is "early" to a trend or "late." That's cool, I'm glad to be out in front again on something. For the past two years I was chasing your exhaust here on FriendFeed. :-)

Phillip, if you thought people were interested, you could set up a separate account. Mine is here: http://www.twitter.com/lgshare...

Louis, thanks for the tip, but I don't see the point if it is already pretty easy to "follow" people for Google Reader users. Isn't this link as easy to give someone has a twitter account: http://www.google.com/reader...
- Phillip Stewart
Phil, my guidance is always to provide your content wherever people want to be. If people prefer Twitter, give them your content on Twitter. The new rules for conversation and marketing is be where they want you to be, not where you tell them to.
- Louis Gray
I like that Louis. I may quote you on that.
- tomit
Trying out right now. Looks really nice.
- Ignacio Rodriguez de R,
Another option is to use the tag feature. Each tag you have in Reader you can expose as a separate feed. That feed is also PubSubHubbub enabled. So you could only retweet when you apply that tag to an item.
- Brett Slatkin
Not sure if reader2twitter supports those tag feed URLs though.
- Brett Slatkin
Why not just do "Send to Twitter" if you're going to do it on a post-by-post basis?
- Jesse Stay
Depends on how many clicks you like to make? I dunno
- Brett Slatkin
if you go with the solution to send to twitter only items that have a specific tag, you could use twitterfeed.

My guess is that they are simply using a fake RT with your Twitter name to make their Twitter stream seem legitimate. More and more I am finding Twitter spam bots that are trying to cloak what they are doing by sprinkling tweets in their stream that seem legitimate. I have even found them copying my own tweets as their own. One is even using my bio in their Twitter profile!

I think the "fame" issue must have something to do with it. You see this outside of the microblogging realm, not only with Oprah et al supposedly endorsing wheat germ or whatever, but in all of the infomercials which basically say "President Obama wants to give you money, and he says that SuperDuperPooperScooperFunders can give it to you." Whether you're talking about Barack, Oprah, or...

Louis, yes, really - it's been slow lately, but yes, that's besides the point. I was trying to figure out where it originated and why they were retweeting it. The tweet looks legit, I'm guessing they just retweeted the wrong person or misquoted from the wrong place.
- Jesse Stay
John, that's got to be the only sentence on the planet that reads: "Barack, Oprah, or Louis". Seriously? You must have me confused with somebody much more visible.

Louis, fame depends upon the circle that is doing the fame designation, and someone who is famous in one circle may be completely unknown in other circles. My favorite example is Johnny Carson, who could go to places like Wimbledon without being mobbed. The reason? At the time that Carson was doing his show, it was not broadcast outside of the U.S. And I'll submit that someone who has...

"Retweeting" was awesome, before it became famous. Now it's like spam - and obligatory spam almost, because many people would be upset if you don't "RT @" their tweets. Granted, that's fair, but what's happening is so many people are "RT @-ing" every 3 seconds (which is damn annoying), and they do it just to keep their content-pumping levels high.

I don't even care when I lose followers - I tweet what and when I feel the content is quality.
