Yawn. - Steve Council

Ha ha, your new twitter is not on the list. It is not in your friendfeed either. - RetiredTeacherD

Robert, I like you but I'm not going to beg or audition for a follow. Either you like what I do or you don't. If you expect me to perform a trick for you, I'm a tree and you're a misplaced bark. - Akiva Moskovitz

The problem with WeFollow is that it has different levels of specificity. So someone can be classified under Python, Ruby on Rails, Google, Development, or whatever which technically is Tech but those other tags are more helpful. - Eric Florenzano

?! Don't let popularity burn you. - Enrico Lamperti

If you want to read what I post, follow. If not, don't. One nice thing about not being internet famous is that those who do follow me are more likely to be genuine, folks I'd enjoy talking to in person. - Jack (a.k.a. Jeber)

What is the value of wefollow? The site doesn't explain what it does. - Brent Logan

Robert I am @ wefollow, but I am under photography, socialmedia sigh is that okay? - polou/indigo_bow

Good points on wefollow Eric Florenzano - wefollow also limits to 3 choices. I have far more interests than 3. I program, develop, build automated machines, but I do not want to be known as that. I like being a people person for people. I am a tech person for the machines. - RetiredTeacherD

+10 Akiva - Jason Huebel

My thoughts are very similar to Akiva's on the matter. - Jon, the Chilled Beartato

Robert: I thought you were only going to follow those followed by @notsecretscoble? - Angus Burton from iPhone

I will go to sleep tonight, confident that Robert will follow me, not because I'm on wefollow.com (I'm not), but because of my sheer awesomeness. - Mistletoe Glen

I don't think Robert followed me on Twitter anyway, no huge loss. He finds me when necessary...LOL - Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah

And I will go to sleep tonight not really giving a shit that he's not following me. Actually, I don't know that he ever has. Never cared to check. O.o - Penguin It's Cold Outside

1UP Akiva and Penguin. I simply do not care. - Rochelle

You are a trip Scoble but I agree with your thinking here. I had also arrived at those same conclusions about followers & DM's. I remember first knowing you back in 96 or so when beta testing the Winnov Videum Cam Traveler. I found that thing in a box. Still a GREAT camera by the way. Have fun - Robert Anderson

Robert I like your stuff but I must agree with Akiva. I'm not going to register in wefollow under "tech". There are 32M people in that list. I'd like to be followed because I share interesting content and enjoy conversation but I'm not going to jump through some sort of hoop. - Keith - @tsudo

Most of us are glad you are mass unfollowing on twitter so it will be useful for you but this is a bit much - Keith - @tsudo

Robert: Please tell me which of your accounts I should follow. I'm confused. Cause it's who you follow that counts right? - Andrew Smith from fftogo

Andrew: follow @scobleizer or just follow me here, since that's the best place to follow me. - Robert Scoble

Akiva: anyone cool doesn't need to worry. I am already following you here. - Robert Scoble

It would be more interesting to just create a new account and start updating that and ignore the old account, and see how long it took for people to find you on the new one. - Andy Bakun

And FriendFeed's where the real action's at! - Akiva Moskovitz

thanx Robert @ least I'm not a bore, but irregular in shape lol - polou/indigo_bow

I'm on wefollow, it's good. But why is it important for people to be on it for you to follow them? - jjprojects

Robert: why do you care if someone is on wefollow? - Nick in Manila

Robert: @scobleizer make a deal - I have enjoyed the brief interaction, I will follow you if you follow me - Geer

not a fan of the wefollow, but i'll always keep my eye on your streams. - MikeAmundsen

I registered in tech when I joined the industry over 30 years ago. Wefollow? Thanks, but at a glance it doesn't interest me. I'll follow my choices handcrafted as always. And some of them will also handpick me. Following and followers based on some other criteria just doesn't hold water for me. I think you're off the mark here Robert, but I've been nusy with moving and settling this week. - Ken Camp

There goes the quality of #tech on @wefollow as the spammers join to get in front you. Nice. - Peter Warnock

Peter: I doubt that this announcement will change the quality of #tech on @wefollow - spammers generally post a picture of a girl they find on the internet and then get followed by guys thinking "ooo she's hot i'll follow" ;) - Nicholas James

I think wefollow is a useful starting point, but I'd be hesitant to use it as my gatekeeper, unless I was focused on celebrities and social media people. - Ho John Lee

I'm #46 under Tech... But why is that a determinant? - Mark Davidson

Wefollow only lets you enter 3 categories at a time. Some of us fit in more than 3 categories. I don't think wefollow is particularly helpful in guiding people. - Cathryn Hrudicka

Mark: because I'm mostly interested in geeks. It was my way of signaling to the world that I wouldn't be following non-geeks unless I had a good reason to. It was my way of causing a conversation. Wefollow is interesting, by the way. I wish I had other ways to look at the database than just numbers of followers. - Robert Scoble

The 15,000th "tech" member, by the way, has 53 followers. I found that on page 600: http://wefollow.com/twitter... - Robert Scoble

I am not listed there because I don't want to spam Twitter with the Wefollow nonsense. - Louis Gray

So is the thought that you will sync Twitter to wefollow all the time so it becomes your master list and everything else is pruned? - Todd Hoff

Holden, you don't have to, thanks to lists. - Louis Gray

Holden: no. Because FriendFeed has groups. If I get tired of who i have followed I'll just open up a new group and start clean. - Robert Scoble

The following count on http://twitter.com/Scobleizer couldn't keep up with the big unfollow (currently showing 79,249). This reminds me how YouTube used to miss the view count :-) - Majento

Ohai! I've been following you on Twitter for 2.5 years, on a protected account on which I only follow 5 people (hyperbole). So, yah, we may not have met yet IRL, but I noticed the drop in my follower count, immediately, and I feel like I've lost a friend. While I AM listed on wefollow on my public account, I am most probably listed under categories that do not apply to you. I respect your right to arrange your socnets in whatever way works for YOU, but I confess that I am sad to have been unceremoniously shunned by one of the first people I ever followed on Twitter, for no personal reason. - Yvette

Yvette: I am following you here, so no worries. - Robert Scoble

I know. Isn't it funny how something so simple and non-personal can create an emotional response? I feel like clinging to your pant leg! It's utterly irrational and un-called-for. (And unnecessary.) Please do your thing. Don't mind me. :-) - Yvette

re: #wefollow: on the first try got this: " Error 503 Service Unavailable Guru Meditation: XID: 166617335" this is truly a new age web ;) whether 3.0 or 2010. - jacek

I wish you could search for people on wefollow, not just under tags, so you could see what tags certain people have used. Unless people have a lot of followers, it's hard to find them. Not all interesting people have a lot of followers. - jjprojects

I wish Wefollow allowed more than 3 tags. I am listed under podcaster there, the other two are also important to me professionally as is tech, but I could only pick 3. Oh well, I may have to re-think one of my tags. - Louis Trapani

Wefollow does seem to be a limited implementation of a good idea. A hierarchy would be good, too: what is #web as opposed to #webdeveloper? Isn't one really a subset of the other? Perhaps tagging yourself with #webdeveloper automatically puts you in #web as well, but it doesn't say that. - James

how can i find myself on their lists? and what is their ranking algo? - Chris Heath

but then, you follow people according to their tags and not for their content :) - Apostolos Tsompanopoulos from twhirl

Don't bother refollowing me on Twitter. The channel we can talk has been here for some time - Mark Essel from iPhone

I just didn't want to send the wefollow spam message back to twitter; so I won't be on there. Oh well. - Phil Crissman

Let me know what my signal strength will be in your input channel. I'm already missing way too many good tweets due to following 2k in twitter. The 1k or so I sub to here feels more manageable - Mark Essel from iPhone

+1 Mark Essel - FriendFeed messaging is much better than Twitter DM - Stuart Miniman

It may be more fun for you if you just follow people you find interesting. - Citronella

+10 Akiva - Johnny from BuddyFeed

Robert who? - Big K

Thanks Stuart, before I had a friendfeed account I clinged to DM. now, not so much. - Mark Essel

I'm on WeFollow but not under Tech. Photography and Social Media yes, but not under Tech. Best of luck with the Unfollowing. - Jim Goldstein

I've been putting it off, but I've been thinking about doing this, on a much smaller scale, of course ;) - Jason Preston

I am. - Zachary TG

Yup - tomit from iPhone

OK, I'm listed there under tech, but also other categories. One can be a geek and still tweet about other things, like the arts, science, health care, good causes, etc. I'd like to see more "geeks" expand their horizons and follow people who have multiple interests and tweet about them. Certainly some geeks are multi-faceted and find the applications of technology in all areas of life to be interesting; but I see others who only want to read tech-oriented tweets and blogs. Surely, innovation is fostered by being open to all horizons & following others' tweets! - Cathryn Hrudicka

How many tweeps are you looking to refollow? - Justin Hileman

I find the sentences "anyone cool doesn't need to worry" and " I'm mostly interested in geeks" to be somewhat contradictory. ; ) I'm not sure what people mean by WeFollow spam, it just sends out one message when you select the tags to be listed under. - Liz

wefollow is a joke - it's a pumper of the default list that's all. - Allen Stern

I am listed - have been for a long time - but do not see any real value. I work as a project manager. Friendfeed and Twitter still needs more people from my profession to be competitive to other forums I use. I wish more folks from PMI would join Friendfeed. - Frode Stenstrøm
