No one will talk with you on twitter or... - Robert Scoble

1. Start a list of something outrageous. Tell some friends who seem to get lots of conversations going about it. Just tweet them with their twitter address like this: @scobleizer in the post. - Robert Scoble

2. Comment on yet another Robert Scoble List - Tyler (Chacha)

2. Comment on other people's threads first. Say smart stuff. Be funny, cute, interesting, etc. Or, throw the "bacon bomb" into the comments. Don't know what the Bacon Bomb is? Ask Mona on friendfeed. - Robert Scoble

ehm.. show some tits? (for ladies) :p - disconnesso

2. Slip @MrTweet a few bills every week. - Liz

Commencing rapid refresh - This should be interesting. - Enrique Gutierrez

Chacha: you're getting it. So is Lucio! - Robert Scoble

Be real. Be interesting. Be real interesting. - Ron's Home And Hardware

Add "what do you think?" - Andrew Smith

Robert is on a roll today. What did you have for breakfast??? - Joe Lima

3. Make an outrageous list so other people can comment on it to get followers - Tyler (Chacha)

Talk about getting Robert to follow you? - http://friendfeed.com/e... - Todd Jordan

Robert: Thanks for all these lists. I love the humor mixed with good tips. It's fun! - Mitchell Tsai

3. Follow people who seem to always get conversations going. This is very important on friendfeed because you'll get a sense of what works for them. And, you'll be the first to see the big conversations before anyone else. First post in friendfeed always is seen more. - Robert Scoble

Hello folks, today its I'm-Scoble-And-I'm-Going-To-Do-All-The-Talking day :) - Yuvi

:) - disconnesso

4. Look at http://search.twitter.com and see what is trending. Comment about that. - Robert Scoble

@Scobleizer "lists" work for everything, blog posts, microblog posts, grocery shopping... They're effective for starting conversation and getting things done. If anything - that's the "gimme" in this list. - Enrique Gutierrez

I was SO tempted to comment "first!" when I saw this pop up at 43 seconds. Urge controlled. - Phil Glockner

Ask a specific (appropriately geeky) question - Prunella

5. Look at "Best of Day" on friendfeed and ignore it. - Robert Scoble

be authentic... we can tell when you are fishing for attention... - Brian Roy

Robert: Are you making lists so people can meet each other and get followed? - Tyler (Chacha)

6. If you are talking about stuff on Techmeme you are too late. That news is always an hour late. Instead, use http://www.techfuga.com and get into the conversations that are happening now. - Robert Scoble

7. Rif on something smart that one of the smart people say. Dave Winer, Tim O'Reilly, Steve Gillmor, etc. - Robert Scoble

Make a list of Top Tweets of 2008 and Send a message to everyone on that list telling them they are there. ;-) http://twurl.nl/tbo2ll - David Petherick

Chacha: I'm making lists because I'm playing with a new form that is enabled by both Twitter and friendfeed. I call it "interactive blogging." - Robert Scoble

8. Post a picture of bacon. But you've gotta put something unusual into it. A picture of Mike Arrington, for instance. - Robert Scoble

9. Teach people how to do something new. - Robert Scoble

10. Complaining that no one is paying attention to you on twitter or friendfeed might work. Once or twice. But then we remember that's all you do and that you aren't bringing any value. So, long term this will hurt you. Plus, there's always someone who is begging who has a better beg. - Robert Scoble

"Talk to me, like lovers do...." - Bora Zivkovic

Announce a list and let other ppl write it for you - Trung Ly

I think Jim Rome's advice to callers to his show (so they don't get 'run') applies: "Have a take, don't suck." - Patrick Jordan

11. Click "Like" on 100 new things that caught your eye. We do see that and we do notice that you're adding important meta data to the system. Even if we don't notice you'll have 100 new friendfeed items to comment on now. Just visit the "me" tab and then click on "Likes" over on the right side and you'll see them all. - Robert Scoble

12. Have sex with someone who always has lots of comments. Have Duncan Riley post pictures! - Robert Scoble

12. Follow more people. That is probably the fastest way. - Alex Wilhelm

13. Get laid off. But have a great story. Even better? Start a room on friendfeed for people to talk with you about your future. - Robert Scoble

You forgot about re-tweeting this post :) - Jim Reynolds

Prunella gets it! It is easier to comment on things if you ask a question that is interesting! - Robert Scoble

Challenge a high profile Twitterer who is incapable of not responding to critique. You'll get at least a few Tweets back & forth, probably mostly negative but people will know who you are and either think you're an inspired rebel or an ass. - Liz

Don't participate in other people's threads but constantly complain how no one notices you! - Mona Nomura

What about also admitting ignorance? I find that helps. - Todd Jordan

14. Get someone who gets lots of comments to "Like" your item. This takes getting to know a few people and what they like. It also might mean giving them a phone call, sending them email, chatting with them on Facebook, or generally stalking them. Social media is great for stalking. I know everything that Guy Kawasaki and Tim O'Reilly are thinking due to social media. Hint, we're all egotistical baaahhhssstttaaarrrddddssss and we all look at our replies in Twitter. Just include @scobleizer in your tweet!!! - Robert Scoble

hahahhahahahhahahah!!!!!!!!!!!! <---laugh at all of Robert's jokes wiht a bajillion exclamation points to get noticed. Bonus points for wine! - Mona Nomura

Todd: you're onto something there. Chris Pirillo does this. He asks his followers tech questions. I do to. "How do you backup your stuff?" got lots of comments because I needed to know what's the best way to do it. I was ignorant on the topic and my followers taught me (and everyone else). - Robert Scoble

15. Say something outrageous like "Palm Pre kills the iPhone." Oh, wait, that's not outrageous, it's just a fact that hasn't been widely understood yet. Heheh. Seriously, take on Apple and you are almost guaranteed a conversation. You just gotta be prepared for the backlash. - Robert Scoble

Today's list is looking a lot like last night's list. Why 20? - Liz

Do you see why Mona gets more comments on her items than anyone else I know? Bing! Well, that and she posts GREAT pictures and little funny items. - Robert Scoble

Robert? Regarding number two: It's Bacon Explosion, not bacon bomb! - Mona Nomura

16. Post great pictures and funny little items like Mona. - Robert Scoble

17. Baby photos. Louis Gray. Enough said. - Robert Scoble

18. Tell a retweetable story. Chris Brogan has this down. Study what he is doing and do it better. - Robert Scoble

Robert - he stepped up his baby picture game and cartoonized his photos. He raised the bar!! - Mona Nomura

19. Hang out with people who get lots of conversations going. Go to lots of events where friendfeeders and twitterers hang out. Here's a list: http://upcoming.yahoo.com/user... - Robert Scoble

Liz: if you do a list it doesn't matter how many items you promise as long as you get to the number you are promising. Something about lists is conversational. This is why magazines put numbers on their covers so often "7 ways to please your lover." Etc. Etc. If I were really smart I'd do a list like "7 ways Windows 7 will increase your sex life." Hah, that might be my next list! - Robert Scoble

Tim: having something interesting to say is NOT a prerequisite for getting people to comment on your items. I have many examples of proof. - Robert Scoble

20. Talk about Daft Punk and why they are or aren't the downfall of the next generation. - Robert Scoble

Post flamebait - Bwana ☠

Got any others? Seriously, if you aren't getting noticed here it's probably because you are posting things that aren't conversational. I'm watching tons of inbound from everyone on this list and looking for things to engage with. You can see the items that I like here: http://friendfeed.com/scoblei... - Robert Scoble

Too late Robert : http://friendfeed.com/e... - Tyler (Chacha)

I love talking about how Daft Punk, Radiohead, and Coldplay suck and are nothing but three piece suit rock made safe for wussys. :P - MarkCarras

21. Practice - try talking to people in the real world. - Brian Roy

Is there an rss feed for Techfuga? - Cindyg

Cyndy? http://reque.st/1277 :) - Mona Nomura

Mona N. Haha...sweet! Thank-you - Cindyg

Daft Punk is definitely an innovator through its music and its marketing, whether one likes them or not - Bertrand Doux

I always hear 80's New Wave when someone shows me a song that shows how "Innovative" they are. Sorry. Homogenized, sterilized, and watered down for the for the masses. - MarkCarras

MarkCarras, looks like we are not on the same line. Meanwhile you can all enjoy here: http://tinyurl.com/8zlmap :-) - Bertrand Doux

22. Do a book report using FriendFeed: http://friendfeed.com/rooms... - B2B Specialist

Nice list, hard to follow in FF, with all these bullet points hijackers. - Jeremy Chone

Start a Room and Invite a ton of people to it, then post a ton of goodies over there and get BUZZZZZZZZ goin' on - Susan Beebe

Ok, these list are getting better and better. - Mathew™ aka Youngblood

23. Post something on Friendfeed poking fun at something that Robert Scoble has been doing lately. :P http://friendfeed.com/e... - Mathew™ aka Youngblood

I wouldn't consider the posts between the bullets as highjackers. It's all part of the conversation and makes it so much more interesting as an interactive list than just a list of 20 things thrown out for our consumption. - Ernie Oporto from Nambu

Make a post on your blog featuring this list - then get Mona mad at you for plugging your site (yummm...bacon) ;-) - http://www.listropolis.com/2009... - shaun mclane

Try and ignore how much like high-school the FF/TW popularity game is and get on with something interesting. Then FF/TW. - Chris Cotsapas

S60 is the new iPhone! ;) - Tyson Key
