October 29th, 2009, by The Angry Drunk

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.

    The first com­ment com­plains about that specif­i­cally, and Scoble’s answer? That’s what he cares about the most. Because oth­er­wise, you might have to go read your­self instead of slav­ishly fol­low­ing every­thing the great Robert thinks you should read.

    Douchebag.

    Yeah, I love Robert’s response to the com­ment on his blog. It really shows how utterly patho­log­i­cal he is.

    Scoble’s com­ment : “I work hard to find things that will be inter­est­ing to geeks.” Scoble wouldn’t know hard work if it threw him on the ground and sodom­ized him.
