Robert Scoble Re: Why I switch services so often (why I don't use Google Reader anymore) - http://scobleizer.com/2009/10/31/why-i-switch-services/#comment-21536174 12 hours ago from Disqus - Comment - Like Thomas Power liked this "It's pretty clear that you are NOT listening. Tell me again where the people are on: http://twitter.com/Scobleizer/tech-news-brands HINT: THERE ARE NO PEOPLE!!! These are news brands. Now, tell me again, what is different from that or my tech news brand folder in Google Reader? Not much. Except Google Reader takes my account more than a minute to start up." - Robert Scoble If Google Reader started up for you in a second or so, would you go back to it? Or would you still prefer the way information is presented to you using Twitter? - Gee Ranasinha

Marshall Kirkpatrick (Robert Scoble commented on this) if Twitter lists = the new authority & Obama is only person more "important" than Pete Cashmore, then all hope is lost. http://bit.ly/JVhHP 19 hours ago from Twitter - Comment - Like Atul Arora liked this Ha. :) - Louis Gray Authority is NOT how many lists you are on. - Robert Scoble

Robert Scoble Re: The Rules Have Changed: Follow ALL Your Twitter Followers Today - http://personalbranding101.com/new-rule-follow-your-twitter-followers#comment-21521849 15 hours ago from Disqus - Comment - Like Susan Beebe liked this "Yes, I still would have deleted everyone. Following back automatically is incredibly lame and shallow. It is NOT a matter of respect. I don't feel any better when someone autofollows me back. It totally messes up your account, too, and invites spammers into your DMs. I don't get spam anymore. I used to get tons of it. And now you've revealed yourself as two-faced anyways. I'd rather people just be honest with me and say "no, I'm not interested in what you write." I really don't understand this belief that you are helping someone by following them back." - Robert Scoble

Robert Scoble Re: Twitter's lists make Chris Brogan feel bad - http://scobleizer.com/2009/10/31/twitters-lists-make-chris-brogan-feel-bad/#comment-21536354 12 hours ago from Disqus - Comment - Like "You should follow http://twitter.com/Scobleizer/tech-news-brands -- no mess, no fuss. Or, even better, http://www.techmeme.com/ -- you'll get more out of that than following just loudmouth blogs like mine." - Robert Scoble

It's the friends that slow it down. Even the team acknowledges this." - Robert Scoble

Mostly because I have switched from using a desktop computer to using my iPhone for most of my reading." - Robert Scoble

Sigh." - Robert Scoble

Twitter's lists can be used to curate their partners together. Or their favorite customers. Or their favorite tools. I'm using it at Rackspace to demonstrate that I'm following the web hosting industry, for instance. We're also keeping a list of all employees, which makes us more accessible. We also have multiple Twitter accounts, so we are keeping a list of that. And so on and so forth." - Robert Scoble

I'm making a list of hosting companies and information sources about hosting companies. By putting companies and people there I am endorsing them and when Rackspace makes its list it will be endorsing them in a way. Luckily we have great competitors worth endorsing." - Robert Scoble

You can see lists on my account at http://www.twitter.com/scobleizer/lists -- they are really groups, but are public so you can look at the output of those lists. Click through a few and you'll start to see how powerful they are." - Robert Scoble

I aim to have the most complete lists, though, and if you think someone should be on my lists you can DM me." - Robert Scoble

Let's be honest, I WILL be hurt that I'm left off of your "best golfers of all time" list. I WOULD love to be on that list. Thing is, I don't deserve to be on it and if you put me on it you'll make your list suck. That said, you're on my favorite geek mommy list and you are on my most important list: the list of people I follow. I read that first before I read any of my lists. Oh, and I'm not done building lists yet. I'm only about 10% done going through my 12,000 followings." - Robert Scoble

I didn't realize Firefox would work there. Hint, it does not. So Feedly does NOT work for me. On my desktops I don't use Firefox either. Google Chrome is better." - Robert Scoble
