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.
