Thanks for the mention, Mike!
-
as I said in my comment -- wow :)
-
I def. recommend following Mark.
-
I thought this was going to be a crap article about stuff we already know. I'm glad I actually clicked on it...and read it :)
-
I follow all 10. Got any other suggestions?
-
Why isn't Scoble on the list? Or did I miss it?
-
Kyle, it's based on Mike's top 10 most interesting subscriptions as defined by Friendfeed. If you go to Friend Settings in the top right, then click on Stats, you can see your top 10. Scoble just doesn't happen to be in Mike's top 10.
-
Would have probably helped if I actually read the entire post. I went straight to the image.
-
Robert - have you used the better recommended greasemonkey script yet? http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/29324
-
Added all that I wasn't already following...
-
Thanks for the list Mike. I just subscribed to the 3 I hadn't already. I trust your recommendation.
-
I subscribe to them all...I think :D
-
Nice nice. But this just motivates me to use FF more for so many other reasons!
-
+1 for Franklin Pettit, he's very active here and tries a ton of alphas/betas. Not to mention he had twins a good 2 years before louis gray... he's quite the trend setter :-p
-
Great list!
-
Good post. I just subsribed to elven (10+you) new people on FF. thanks for the suggestions!)
-
I wonder what would happen if we all combined our stats pages together...make for some interesting analysis.
-
I made sure I had all my based covered.
-
Did he say skilled? :) As my inbox fills overnight ... appreciate the mention Mark. Of the people commenting (that I know) above, add Tamar if you're interesting in the Social Marketing or SEO space.
-
Well done, pleasantly surprised. :)
-
Thanks Mike I am glad to be one of your favorites. You are one of my favorites as well.
