Noise

A while back in one of the Angry Mac Bastards pod­casts I pos­tu­lated that Scoble’s Twitter favorites can’t pos­si­bly be of any worth, since he can’t pos­si­bly be pay­ing the slight­est atten­tion to what he favorites. Consider the num­bers that he states in the linked blog post. 7,000 favorites in two months? By the most gen­er­ous math that comes out to 116 favorites a day. Now go look at the list of favorites on that blog post. At the time I’m writ­ing this, there is only one tweet out of the twenty there that is even arguably not mar­ket­ing chaff. I seri­ously doubt that will change.
