Let's hope they don't all reveal national security secrets like one of them did on his trip to Iraq.

I'll discuss the secret to getting to the top of the AllTop Egos page http://egos.alltop.com/ here:

First, you've gotta have an ego. I haven't met anyone who doesn't have one, so I think we all qualify.
- Robert Scoble
2. At Microsoft when given a camcorder I aimed it at everyone else OTHER than myself. I discovered that if you want to be an egotistical baaahhhhsssttttaaarrrrrdddd you've gotta help other people's egos first.
- Robert Scoble
Is it me, or is this egregious follower-baiting :-)?
- Jason Wong
3. You've gotta find some way to get all the other egos on this list to talk about you. That ain't easy, but if you want to get onto this list it is a must. Let's discover some ways to do that...
- Robert Scoble
4. Tell @techcrunch he's wrong.
- Robert Scoble
5. Give @guykawasaki a new marketing trick that he didn't think of.
- Robert Scoble
I'm listening. :)
- Trace Sharp
6. Show @jasoncalacanis a way to make even more money.
- Robert Scoble
Curious what the diff in traffic is from being at the bottom or top of an alltop category. I'm on alltop in a specific directory, but I barely get any traffic from them.
- Douglas Karr
7. Bring a bottle of wine to @loic that he's never had before that he likes. (I did that with a wine from Sonoma and he said it was the first California wine he could get interested in).
- Robert Scoble
8. Do something interesting with RSS and get @davewiner to like it.
- Robert Scoble
This seems like the same list as before. I smell something fishy going on.
- MarkCarras
Douglas: if you are really going to be egotistical you can't care about traffic. There's something that matters to egos FAR more than that. What is it? Whether or not you are talking about them. At Microsoft I NEVER looked at my stats. I ALWAYS looked at blog search engines to see what people were saying about me and about others.
- Robert Scoble
9. Find out what people want, then do a friendfeed list about it. I noticed that everyone on Twitter seems to be begging for followers. So, I gave in and did a list of how to get more followers.
- Robert Scoble
10. Say that the Alltop egos page is bullshit, because it is. Explain why and you probably will get looked at by Guy Kawasaki (he's the guy who decides who goes on this list).
- Robert Scoble
Mark: there are some overlaps, yes! Bing. Bing. Bing!
- Robert Scoble
the secret of getting on alltop: schmooze GK | the secret of getting on popurls: be high quality
- thomas marban
11. Tell Kara Swisher who the next Yahoo CEO is. But you've gotta be right and you can't be Jerry Yang (she already talks with him nearly every day).
- Robert Scoble
12. Be someone with a big ego. Bill Clinton, for instance.
- Robert Scoble
I just thought I'd help you point out how retarded lists like this are and how much most bloggers just regurgitate the same info over and over again. There is nothing new under the internet sun it seems at times.
- MarkCarras
thomas: schmoozing helps, but there are lots of people who schmooze like Buzz Bruggeman who aren't on the Egos page. To get on this page you've gotta have something more. You've gotta make Guy Kawasaki laugh.
- Robert Scoble
Mark: NOW you are getting the handle on this ego thing. Keep going... :-)
- Robert Scoble
13. Say something that Tim O'Reilly retweets. Repeat 200 times. That should get you onto this page. If you do the hard work and you don't get on, then you'll be credible when you say this list is bullshit. Which, of course, it is. But to get on the list you've gotta have credible proof. And you've gotta be both a big thinker and a big ego.
- Robert Scoble
Cliffs Notes Version: #1, #3. Done. :-)
- michael silverton
14. Be Mike Arrington. Oh, wait, start a famous blog. Yes, that requires staying up until 2 a.m. and blogging something interesting every day for a few years. Sorry, not too many shortcuts here.
- Robert Scoble
I think I've been training for this all my life.
- MarkCarras
15. Be Barack Obama's social media queen or king.
- Robert Scoble
16. Make outrageous bets with John Dvorak. Win. Back when we bet on Obama vs. McCain Obama still hadn't beat Hillary. That said, John is wrong more lately than he's right. Speaking of which, getting on Cranky Geeks (his show) will help you get onto this page.
- Robert Scoble
17. If everyone is talking about how big your ego is over and over you probably deserve to be on this page. I bet Guy is doing Twitter searches on the word "ego" to see if any good egotistical baaahhhsssttttaaarrrdddd's are out there.
- Robert Scoble
18. Interview Guy Kawasaki. He's an egotistical baaaahhhhhsssttttaaarrrrdddd and he loves it when you pay attention to him and help him make money. Make sure you ask him about his book and Alltop.
- Robert Scoble
19. Tell a billionaire what to do with his/her life. Or, even better, his/her company.
- Robert Scoble
20. Make a small list of your favorite friends like Dave Winer did and include lots of people on the Alltop list onto it: http://www.scripting.com/stories...
- Robert Scoble
No offense, but if I ever get on that list, I'm retiring from the Internet.
- Enrique Gutierrez
from twhirl
21. Insert your own megalomaniacal and unjustifiably self-important item into scobleizer's list polemically proclaiming a superior solution. Such as: create your own new Alltop knock-off using the words "meta" or "uber" and give RS userID #1 and exclusive First Post access.
- michael silverton
I'll tell you what guarantees you won't be on it: Asking to be placed on it. Guy
- Guy Kawasaki
Being close friends with Guy can't hurt.
- Daniel Miessler
I really hate Alltop and unfollowed Guy Kawasaki on Twitter for his Alltop Spam. I hate Alltop mostly because of the Feedburner stats they try to aggregate and I hate it even more when Guy Kawasaki tried to get Twitterers to sign up for auto-tweeting Alltop "stories" via TwitterFeed.
- Richard Metzler
michael: that is the way!!! :-)
- Robert Scoble
Enrique: you have to have an ego to say that you don't want to be on the ego list. :-)
- Robert Scoble
Just a small note. It took 26 minutes for Guy Kawasaki to comment on this thread. On a Sunday morning. Do you see how this works? :-)
- Robert Scoble
i wanted to get on the ego list, anyone around here knows i should be but guy put on the seo page instead, oh well :) i'll follow some of these steps, maybe i can get dual all top citizenship
- sean percival
I have an ego page... my blog... my startup's home page... As far as who else puts me on an ego page... I think I'll just focus on the stuff I can control and leave that up to them.
- Brian Roy
@Scobleizer oh, my ego is massive, but if I had a list to go with, I'd quit for fear of combustion.
- Enrique Gutierrez
from twhirl
@seanpercival you're not on the ego list on alltop? the hell is that all about? the list is rigged, I say!! :P
- Enrique Gutierrez
from twhirl
i know what else must a man do? i have stickers made with my face and my biz cards are metal! thats it im getting zune guy to tattoo my avatar on his arm.
- sean percival
These lists are both interesting and entertaining but the suggestions appear to be targeted at PR professionals or social media consultant wannabes. Most users of social networking tools don't have time to invest in being popular. They just want to find (or be found by) relevant information and participate in interesting conversations. Any advice for us?
- scott anderson
Richard Metzler just got bumped to top of Alltop.

I will not be on Alltop's Egos page, but that's OK with me. I have named my blog EGO and have been blogging since 2002. EGO stands for I in Latin. I will soon start a new interview series of my podcast show with individuals who have rational egos and want to have a form of mutual exchange as a conversation with me, sharing their knowledge and ideas with my podcast listeners and blog readers.
- Martin Lindeskog
It's not the 26 minutes that matter; it's the Attentional Capacity and Cognitive Behavior to notice such things in stride. Welcome to the Attention Economy. However, do not worry if you don't "get it" right away; unlike the brutalizing rush to the bottom of Industrial Capitalism; in the next stage of human expression, the handholding not only continues, it gets continuously and consciously better. Competitive advantage giving way to Uplift and Inclusion: fostering Cooperative, Collaborative Advantage.

good article. I always nap, it takes me about twenty minutes. I have read that if you want to nap, the best time will be 12am-1pm or 3pm-4pm. at this time(it is usually after meal) your biorhythms go down, you feel tired a bit, and if you nap for a small time, you will begin feel cheerfulness.
- obolonskyi
really? i can't nap =(
- Mona Nomura
I nap everywhere, if I feel tired. At work, in the library, etc. It is one of the key factor of your productivity.

Google now suffers from Microsoftitis aka We MUST compete with everyone. OpenSocial, Knol, Android,etc I miss innovations like Gmail & Maps
Rodrigo Amaya, Neil, Jon Galloway and Dave Walker liked this
Gmail was better web mail, Maps was better web maps. Innovation is often making something a bit better :)
- Dion Almaer
Dion, there was a time it seemed Google wouldn't enter a space unless the company figured it could change the game. These days it seems Google is just targetting successful companies and FUDing them with "openness" instead of bringing true innovation to the space. It is hard to knock a "me too" effort if it is as revolutionary as Gmail or Maps. Android and OpenSocial on the other hand? *sigh*
- Dare Obasanjo
This is the first sign of organizational dumbing-down.
- Paul Denlinger
Dare, whether or not I ever use an Android-based phone, I have to give them credit for thinking big here and trying to change the entire mobile game. I think it has already effected how Apple does things, and Nokia, and everyone else! Seeing Symbian opened up, and apps on the iPhone etc.... I have to believe has SOMETHING to do with Android. This is industry changing stuff.... and open sourcing it all matters.
- Dion Almaer
I don't see how Android can take credit for apps on the iPhone. Or do you think Apple was telling the truth when "Web apps are all you need for the iPhone" was their original spin? That is the same line as "we'll never do video on the iPod". It really meant they weren't ready. I can buy that Android influenced the opening up of Symbian but it is too early to see if that will make a difference or not.
- Dare Obasanjo
Apps on the iPhone has nothing to do with Android. It's a great marketing and money making scheme for Apple. I'm glad to see Google Android in the market, though, because otherwise we'd quickly have a monopoly in the handset space. iPhone FTW.
