Twitter Updates for 2010-02-04

  • @webbmedia We don’t pick, the list is data-driven. Folks like Perez have simply remained very popular. That said, there were 8 new people! #
  • @shanerichmond Glad someone noticed that Guardian cock-up. #
  • @webbmedia Web traffic, press mentions, twitter followers, google hits. Methodology starts in the third graf of http://bit.ly/cXC3Wx #
  • Seriously! RT @starmike: What moron at Forbes put that list together? @leolaporte listed as #12? Seriously? #
  • @TheStalwart Important to note web celebs doesn’t rank *influence* but more like online buzz. Drudge’s ‘09 numbers just weren’t as strong. #
  • @starmike Personally, I love both Leo and Gary, would be happy with both in top 5. But I don’t pick — list is driven by data, not opinion. #
  • @starmike Quite true. But for now, those guys have far smaller audiences than the folks at the top of the list #
  • @starmike Would be fun to do some sort of TechTV “Where are they now?” story, actually. It produced a lot of stars #
  • @starmike When someone’s professional identity is their public identity, that’s appropriate. In any case — food for thought for next year! #
  • Bonhams is auctioning off tons of original Dr. Who costumes. I would sell my soul for a Dalek. http://bit.ly/b9YiCc #

Twitter Updates for 2010-02-03

  • Who are the most famous names on the net? Find out in the fourth annual Web Celeb 25 http://bit.ly/acJo8L #
  • @CathyAtkinson1 Forbes didn’t measure traffic to Daggle, but to Searchengineland. In any case, I’ll remember your site -maybe next year! #
  • @LanceUlanoff I was surprised by Tila Tequila’s showing too, but we make the ranking based on data, not personal taste #
  • @Holly_Hanna In 07 @copyblogger made the list. The others are on our candidate list, but haven’t quite had the numbers to reach the top #
  • @Holly_Hanna That’s a great idea for next year, thanks! I agree, some of the most interesting people are still on their way up. #
  • @copyblogger ah, you’re right. too similar tweet handles. you’re on our candidate list, though — maybe next year! #
  • @Norm_Clarke It’s Forbes (link is http://bit.ly/acJo8L) but thanks for the mention! I spend a lot of time in vegas and enjoy your column! #
  • “Me and My 39,000 Friends” is @michaelnoer’s plaintive cry for more twitter followers http://bit.ly/afXvQf #
  • @BFree63 By our logic, Felicia Day was famous *before* she became big on the web, and thus does not qualify. Details at http://bit.ly/cXC3Wx #
  • @headgeek666 Harry, I’m afraid the list the Guardian wrote up is from 2007. They looked at the wrong year — that’s why the info is old. #
  • @headgeek666 This year’s list is at http://bit.ly/acJo8L . I’m afraid you just missed the top 25. #
  • @BFree63 You make a good point. Our judgement was that shes still best known as an actor, and Wil isnt. In 2010 he’s more writer than actor. #
  • @BFree63 But you’ve convinced me to re-examine this point when we do the list next year! #
  • Top stories on HuffPo “7 Weirdest Things Women Do to Their Privates” & “Lady Gaga Penis Rumors Debunked” What happened, Arianna? #

  • Following Apple keynote via liveblog is like watching scrambled cable TV. Brief moments of clarity in a sea of intense frustration #
  • @annrafalko YOUR CONCERNS ARE IRRELEVANT. RESISTANCE IS FUTILE. YOU WILL BE ASSIMILATED. #
  • Papercraft iPad! http://twitpic.com/101s20 #

  • @ekwetzel see my previous tweet — making a scale model of an ipad is about a Geekter magnitude of 8 #
  • @ekwetzel ooh, i like “borderline artsy.” you’re too kind! #
  • Sony eReader & Amazon Kindle coexisting in the wild. If the iPad was here, there’d be a rumble http://twitpic.com/102ix2 #

  • Just got the answers back from Marvel from my “Q&A” with Tony Stark. You nerds are gonna love this. Just wait a week. #
  • I think at some point my office PC became self-aware, and is now trying to kill me, slowly driving me insane until I step in front of a bus. #
  • I have “Goodnight Saigon” stuck in my head. This is not conducive to productivity, sanity, or good taste. #
  • Gizmodo’s @jesusdiaz take on the Apple Tablet interface is spot on — this is the device I expect (and want!) http://bit.ly/8GMKgC #
  • I name my computers after fictional robots and AI. What about you? http://bit.ly/5hFt4t #
  • @ekwetzel I like that! Using something organic somehow seems a lot less nerdy. #
  • @estherschindler I like the idea of using plants –a touch of nature in an otherwise totally artificial interaction #

  • Sitting in the remote studio waiting for @aots segment with @kpereira. I wish I could see this Muay Thai segment, not just hear it. #
  • I hear if you mention @billgates on Twitter, he will pay you $3.00 for every third person that retweets it. #
  • @annrafalko moving every six months keeps one from developing a truly respectable geek space. #
