I'm not really adding much to the conversation, except that it is refreshing to hear some commentary about "new media douchebags", because the levels of douchebaggery is more likely what's slowing up twitter these days no matter what I hear about a potential virus. In a secondary account, I've been experimenting with adding everyone who follows. The speed at which followers are increasing is surprising to me, but the amount of them that seem to promote themselves as new media experts, social media gurus, brand builders, Internet marketers and the like is staggering. Typically there's nothing to back it up, except for an auto-DM about increasing your twitter followers, a link to a site to by an e-book on Internet marketing secrets, yet nothing to back up what they claim. And although I don't like to judge a book by it's cover, the photos and the backgrounds that accompany these folks tell me I wouldn't use their advice to create a photocopied flyer to hang in the local coffee shop to find my missing dog. There's no doubt that there are people that are intelligent, and are using social media to build something useful, and perhaps monetize it, but there's a lot of chaff to separate from the wheat. You know, maybe I added more to this conversation than I thought I was going to, but maybe that self-realization might be my inner-NMD talking.

"there is an occasional gem"

Only in the comments on his blog, never in the blather that Scoble writes himself.

You forgot to mention one small, but important, tidbit. Without it, your whole post becomes, somehow cheapened.That is."Fuck you, Scoble. Your writing has value than an equal mass and volume of ratshit.
