Twitter authority,Foam puts out fire quicker than gas
So should we trust authority on Twitter?
Not in a million years is my thought, all it really means is that we are trusting loudhailers more than microphones.
What interesting today is that how Techmeme really runs what our larger bloggers write about. Mike is up there screaming about bloggers loosing the plot over Loic’s plan and Scoble is up there screaming about Mike taking us all to La La Land.
Well maybe I am completely wrong but its worked again, Mike, Loic and Robert have all had their drink of Gabe’s magic techmeme cocktail and “bloggers being in uproar is about as far from the truth as is humanly possible.
Even Louis Gray admits that he uses his megaphone blog rather than his microphone blog to get more coverage on the matter and takes his usual middle of the road on the subject
I saw this pop up on techmeme and my feeds saw it mentioned once or twice yesterday on twitter and that was it.
This is story that is going nowhere and will go nowhere, it will fall off techmeme as fast as it got on there and that will be it.
LeWeb anyone?

It reads to me like everyone is in need of traffic. Robert once again bemoans the fact that nobody is watching his expensive infomercials but will check out the fight du jour and then fires a kick into said fight.
I love it when people have ideas for businesses they don’t run. I’m not surprise of the news. some entrepreneurs live from the noise they make and some other live from the noise they produce. If authority rules lets put all the numbers on the table. How many Seesmic users vs Twitter users? So now – is yours still bigger then theirs??
To clarify, the author of the post on my site was Jesse Stay.
I tend to believe adding this functionality is a natural extension to Twitter Search, no more, no less.
Pat, I was simply using that as a point on LouisGray.com (yes, Louis is correct – I wrote the post) – it’s true that one of the reasons I regularly post on LouisGray is because I can share my thoughts with more people. I don’t see anything wrong with that. However, if I wrote this particular post on StayNAlive.com, it would have still been on TechMeme, Scoble would have still talked about it, and I probably would have still had just as much of an audience. My real reason for putting it on LouisGray.com and not my own is that Louis Gray has made it clear that he has no intentions of making money from his blog. For that reason, it was my hope I could provide an unbiased argument that both sides were right, with no monetary benefit on my part (although I probably shouldn’t have mentioned SocialToo.com if I were to get the full results I intended).
