Whatever you say :) - Rob Diana

Totally loved, "It's the American Dream written in PHP". - Jay Cruz

@Jay Thanks I liked that one a lot too. - Steve Spalding

Beautiful post - Aaron Krug

Thank you Aaron. I really meant that last part though, I want to know something each of you is really proud that you were a part of (comment here or there it doesn't matter). I think this entire series is about taking a little deeper look at all the "stuff" we let ourselves become a part of and trying to use increasingly limited time better. - Steve Spalding

@Rob you have seen through my ruse. ;) - Steve Spalding

Though in reading the title it's critically important what word you put the emphasis on. - Steve Spalding

Click bait. - Robert Scoble

@Robert Seriously? :) That's sort of the point, I figured that much would be fairly transparent. - Steve Spalding

Like the title, so... - Jayavasanthan J

@Steve Thought about it for a bit. (http://tinyurl.com/47rdyl) As far as online, that's my best post yet. Online and offline, being a father is what makes me proudest. - Aaron Krug

And btw, I totally got where you were trying to go with the title, even if some others didn't. - Aaron Krug

@Aaron Thanks mate, I was hoping that most people would. I'll read it as soon as I get in front of a real computer. - Steve Spalding

You talk a lot about fame and being famous. I'm not sure that's as important to most (though I could be being naive) as being successful. Or as you put it toward the end of the post, as having an effect (the appropriate effect?) on others. I'm not convinced that most friendfeeders, bloggers, etc. are looking for fame in their pockets in the web as much as they're looking for intellectual (low or high) connections. This could lead to fame, but I think that's secondary. - Jen (SquirrelGirl)

I agree with you to a large extent. The acorn is that fame and success are usually (always?) related around here. I'm not necessarily speaking about Fame (see: Arrington), I'm speaking about fame within whatever tiny portion of the webosphere in which you reside (Top Digg Submitters, Twitter Users et al). Using your example, we want to connect with the people we respect (high) and the people we believe should respect us (low), that's always been the playbook that Fame has worked in since we started - - Steve Spalding

measuring. We want to be successful, but when you're working in media that most often means that people trust whatever prophesy that you preach so that they hire you, buy your product, respect your brand etc . . . To me (at least) that equates to fame. - Steve Spalding
