OK, I'll lead the "least techie" list if you make one ;-) - Bora Zivkovic

Bora: see my brother for that list. He likes cat photos. :-) - Robert Scoble

:( i'm so sad...ok, disappointed rather. I run techineurope & the flippin' Apps room! :) - Zee.

Boy I've come a long from being an ex-banker if I make your list Robert. Thanks for the inclusion. - Hutch Carpenter

I'm sure it's a lovely list for those who wish to focus on tech. With that said, I opt to not check it as I'm certain I'm not on it, and I see more tech in FF than I know what to do with already: Robert's Likes take care of that =) - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

I don't make the list? Aww. I think I am at least as technical (on my blog as well as FF) as a lot of the folks on your list. - Phil Glockner

I talk about tech that all of you guys are afraid to touch - chiefly an understanding of MS server products and the destruction of the net through the use of DPI (limiting bandwidth or even access to specific sites/applications across the net) and the abuse of DPI (phorm and their ad peddling scum).. do I qualify? - alphaxion

It's funny since I joined FF I've found that there's so much more to talk about than tech! You might not know it from what I post on here but I am a super tech-head geek. - Lindsay is :)

How in the hell does one even become 'techie' on FriendFeed without just aggravating the echo chamber? When I first came on here, I wanted to post techy stuff. Even got myself a blog on Profy before Profy became Profy but I found myself always nine steps behind everyone else. Seemed like a dead-end rat race to me so I went with just being adorably obnoxious instead. - Akiva Moskovitz

@akiva niching is your friend.. I seem to be the only one on here that can argue about active directory and the challenges to the core of power for MS that openLDAP and exchange-a-like apps such as zimbra pose instead of looking at a browser and declairing MS dead. - alphaxion

@alphaxion, I doubt you're the only one that _could_ but you're one of the few that really _wants_ to get into that kind of religious war. - Lindsay is :)

I am a "techie" but like others, I dont bother to post much "techie" around here because of the amount of tech. Not sure this list is even a worthwhile venture because ultimately what value will it provide? - Scott Jarkoff

Good on ya, alphaxion! - Akiva Moskovitz

thx for including me - sean percival

Keep watching. This list is updating in real time. Zee, you're now on my list. Anyone who links to Leo Laporte is cool enough. :-) - Robert Scoble

I would suggest adding Andrew Brust - RAPatton

Who has the THX home theater? Which brother was a dope and bought the PS3 just to have a BluRay player? And a techie who doesn't game? Boooring! - Alex Scoble

Do podcasters get a mention? Feed Radio Room! - Eric @ CS Techcast

Zee should definitely be on the list... - Brad Brooks

I'm a techie as well, but I post the tech stuff I do and care about inside of rooms which I admin. http://friendfeed.com/rooms... http://friendfeed.com/rooms... http://friendfeed.com/rooms... - Alan Le

You the man Robert. :) - Zee.

I don't see it as a religious war.. especially since I'm OS agnostic. I grew up with apples, acorns and amigas, I was introduced to win3.11 in the early 90's and have supported windows server products from NT to 2008. I play around with linux and keep my eyes open. If someone genuinely does something good I'll agree, but I also refuse to fall for the "it's cool to bash MS just cause" camp and will acknowledge when they have done something right. - alphaxion

Robert, I'm so supposed to be on this list. But before me, Zee for sure. - Aaron Krug

I'm a techie by trade but social media has really fired up my interest in soft skills instead. I'm also a new father and low on cash so you won't see me ogling gadgets like I used to. I admire your drive to categorize everyone on FF, Robert. Hopefully you'll get some help from FF soon and won't have to compile all of this outside of the system. - Daniel J. Pritchett

You are now working for linking the names on list, I am one of them; and really thanks for your valuable time! Hope to meet you one day! - Erhan Erdogan

I wouldn't expect to be on the list, even though I'm probably at least as techie as any of the other PR people or MediaBistro. I'm really most techie as an audio geek, which I don't post about a lot here. Does being able to compose music & do sound design in ProTools, Max and at least a few dozen other geeky apps count? I know, everyone wants to be on the list.;-) - Cathryn Hrudicka

+1 Cathryn, there are many different kinds of tech, not just I got an iPhone tech. You should be sharing, I'd be most interested in sound tech. - Eric @ CS Techcast

Just realized i'm on the list. Thanks Robert !!! - Nir Ben Yona from twhirl

Robert, out of curiosity how the heck did you put this list together? - Zee.

Ok wait, I'm calling BS on some of this list. Are you going by who these people are or how actively they post tech related items? Dave Morin is the 5426th most active user on FF. Engadget is 5505th. They aren't really participating. - Shawn Farner

I was the lead engineer for Yahoo! Tech. Does that count for anything? - Glen Campbell

feel fee to add me if your looking for some geeks :) - (jeff)isageek

i think Robert may live to regret posting this...:) - Zee.

And also, note to the others: "Feel Free" to add me ; ) - Erhan Erdogan

Zee: I started about a week ago. I went through all 3300+ people I'm subscribed to (I've been gathering subscribers all year long). Then I added anyone I remembered as sharing something with me that's geeky over the years. I'll write more on the list after I finish building links. - Robert Scoble

Great list! - Spencer

ouch, Scoble, ouch. - Veronica

Frederik Hermann (netzkobold) http://friendfeed.com/netzkob... - BlahGirls

Veronica: big oversight. You're on the list now. - Robert Scoble

Your page mentions that these are not necessarily "techies", contrary to what your post here suggests. I think your page is right. Nevertheless, great list. I wasn't expecting to see myself there, but that doesn't mean I don't want to ;). - Vinay | विनय

thanks! hehe. - Veronica

thanks for doing this Robert - great list. appreciate you listing me. - Rob Bushway

Is Andrew Brust on FriendFeed? I can't find him. - Robert Scoble

Aaron Krug: I subscribed to you and will watch you. I don't see much techie on your feed so far, so not sure I want to add you yet. - Robert Scoble

Wow, I really don't register with you. I always suspected. Oh well. - Phil Glockner

cue my Rodney Dangerfield routine... - MG Siegler

MG and J Phil: sorry, when you make a list like this I'm bound to miss someone deserving, which is why I've added both of you. - Robert Scoble

How did you miss http://friendfeed.com/robdiana? I even made Fruchter's list :) - Rob Diana

ha ha, don't worry robert my feelings weren't hurt THAT much. :) - MG Siegler

Thanks, Robert.. I appreciate it. - Phil Glockner

By the way, I don't care about participation that much. I use FriendFeed as an aggregator first, community tool second. So, if someone is bringing great content in here (like TechCrunch, who is my #1 most "Liked" feed) then I'm perfectly happy recommending that feed to others, even if he/she doesn't participate here. - Robert Scoble

I scanned the list and it's not "techie", it's more of a "People Who I Recommend" list, Robert. Why not call it what it is? :) - Mona Nomura

Mona: yeah, there's a few on there who fit that description, but generally they are people who bring me tech news and not much noise. - Robert Scoble

Thanks for including me, Robert - it's a great honor - Jesse Stay

“Analysis of Robert Scoble's "The most "techie" FriendFeeders" List” http://friendfeed.com/e... - FFholic.com

Yes, those of us who actually work in enterprise tech don't qualify. ;-) Kidding. I did send you a note re: Pandora though. - Jennifer Leggio

We've come a long way since the "Elite Bloggers Joining FriendFeed In Droves" post I did six months ago. Good job, guys! - Louis Gray

good list for social media and tech, a little light on folks who actually “make” real things - if there’s a “web 3.0″ coming i think it will be more about electrons meeting atoms than just facebook apps. - make

wow, i did a quick scan and already i am seeing major discrepancies in this list including those that you say having feeds that are mostly made up of tweets. but because they are a vc or whatever they are on it. Sorry Robert, Mona's got you pegged. You should really consider renaming this. - Carlos Ayala

Jennifer: I added you. - Robert Scoble

You don't have enough Mark's on the list :) - Mark Krynsky

Aww, Robert, you didn't have to. I was teasing you. I've just really started harnessing FriendFeed as of late. But it's a great network. - Jennifer Leggio

Actually I'm not there. heh. Maybe it didn't populate yet.I'm adding a lot of folks I missed. - Jennifer Leggio

Stirring it up again, my friend? Nice. What about me? I haven't lead you astray before, have I? (Oh, that little Scoblegate thing we had together.) We are on the cusp of a Cambrian Explosion of innovation, driven by the new "open stack." Follow me, so as not to miss any of the action. :) - John McCrea

Thanks for including me in the list Robert. Honored. - Mike Doeff

Hey, Robert, my FF ID is glenc (you have a link to http://friendfeed.com) - Glen Campbell

and thanks, BTW - this makes me a lot more motivated to contribute original content :) - Glen Campbell

John, I added you. Glen, I'll fix that. - Robert Scoble

Thanks, Robert. And I like the "bad boy" image of your description of me. ;) - John McCrea

What am I. Chopped Liver? - Charlie Anzman

Thanks, Robert for the inclusion. - Warner Crocker

Robert - Please add me: MSCE: plus Security & Messaging; also certified Project Manager (PMP). Currently, I am the Manager over IT Integration and IT Project Management for Nelnet Enrollment Solutions (NNI) - includes Petersons.com, CUnet.com, CollegeandUniversity.net ($10M IT budget) - techie since youth - TRS80 baby just like you! VP of IT for PMIRochester.org. Founder of Rochester Social Media Club. Also highly technical wine enthusiast! - Susan Beebe

Missed me and Susan? That's it Robert. I'm callin' Alex now - Charlie Anzman

Thanks for including me on your list Robert! - Mitchell Tsai

Thanks DeWitt and Charlie! - you guys rock! Robert's list is rich with movers, shakers, influencers, networkers, early adopters, VCs, Execs, startup enterpreneurs, bloggers, software geniuses, and smart FFers! - Susan Beebe

Thanks for the mediabistro shout out- Seamus from MB - Seamus Condron

yayyy :) - Alana Taylor

Boo! Where’s the regular people? The ones who ARE NOT “pros, gurus, specialists, masters, professors, etc”…… You forgot about the underdogs who don't get the recognition they deserve. Us little peeps need love too; these "big timers" always get recognized. - ChaCha Fance

Hmm... - abacab

Thanks for putting me on this list, Robert! But, I work for the Houston Chronicle, not the Dallas Morning News. - Dwight Silverman

Hey Scoble. Yea, I'd like to be considered, of course. I'm a little late to the party, but hey... I'm here. Cheers. - nateritter

You list people who work on Twitter songs or Twitter clients but no one working on Twitter itself. I know you at least like evhead. - Niall Kennedy

Oh, and you left Niall of the list. : ) - DeWitt Clinton

i see slashdot but not MAKE magazine? what's up with that! - make

I think I added all the deserving people who left notes on here. Keep them coming! - Robert Scoble

Thanks for adding me, proving (yet again) that IT failures are sexy and enterprise software is cool. Yeah, right :) - Michael Krigsman

Great list, Robert! Thanks! - Apostolos Papadopoulos

Don't forget Sarah Perez and David Risley - Jesse Stay from twhirl

ah, i'd been traveling and wondered where a rash of new subscribers had come from - scoble effect in action, thanks robert :) - mike "glemak" dunn

This list made me feel incredibly out of touch... of course I AM out of touch, but I don't like to feel that way. (but good list anyway thanks...) - Trey Ratcliff

follow lots of those, but no me :( I blame scoble! - Dobromir Hadzhiev

Thanks for putting me on the list - can't believe that I actually made it on there! - Charlene Li

I really hate these lists... mostly because there's obviously way more than 100 people that are worth following - or we'd all have following lists of 100 or lest. Partially because the first thing we all do is look to see if we're on the list - if so, we breathe a sigh of relief, then worry about 'living up to being interesting', if not, we wonder why not and get sort of hurt and offended (I know I'm in good company, my twitterstream tells me so.) - Lucretia Pruitt

On the same level tho - they clearly create traffic and conversation - this thread is huge, people on your list are seeing bumps in their follows, and the comments are still coming in on your blog. So they obviously generate something. Unfortunately, some of us walk away feeling like we must be "failing" somehow - and that's such a crappy feeling. I know that I don't use FF sufficiently to make any list like this - but have to wonder about other folks who didn't make the cut. :\ - Lucretia Pruitt

Robert, I would add Jemima Kiss from UK's The Guardian to your list. http://friendfeed.com/jemimak... I enjoy her points of view from the other side of the pond. - Julio F ~ @SocialJulio

Thanks for the inclusion. My gripe is that there are still only FriendFeed "name claimers" on this list. I know that a few people on it don't use FF at all. And you don't know what blogs I write for, Robert? ;) - Tamar Weinberg

tamar: ff started as a presence aggregator and it still does a fantastic job of that even for the "name claimers" you dislike - i don't think its a requirement for everyone to be liking and commenting up a storm on ff to bring value to a feed especially if they bring a lot of signal via their included services alone :) - mike "glemak" dunn

Robert- Crazy girl who ran after you at BWE08....gave you my trading card for http://www.MyTechOpinion.com. I use my super powers for the positive advancement of real estate technology and social media! -Nicole Nicolay "NikNik" @nik_nik - Nicole Nicolay

Nice list, I also started listing Finnish users of FriendFeed last week: http://autiomaa.org/2008... - Daniel Schildt

@Robert: Nice list—just want to mention that Sanjeev is also a FriendFeed founder as well as a developer. - Jim Norris

This most have cost some time to do, its hard enough to click on each one and subscribe to them. And it's exactly the kind of action that could lead to more people flocking to FriendFeed. Nice work, but I sometimes wonder whether these services pay you (don't worry, I already know the answer's no). - Vincent van Wylick

I guess getting all those member interviews doesn't count for much ;-) - Andrew Feinberg

one thing that is interesting about this or the criteria used, is that what does "interaction on FF" mean? What if someone is creating a ton of interesting content on flickr or podcasting? I am stoked to see the people on this list on it. Many are friends, and most I respect (there is that @technosailor dude). Lists are inherently flawed, the contribution of the people included here are not. - Micah Baldwin

I'm honored and astonished to have made this list... thanks Robert - Brian Shields

thanks for having me in this list, even though with the recession I am not sure anybody should spend too much time worrying about that... thanks Robert anyway! - Loic Le Meur from twhirl
