I have been laughing for the past three days since the Techmeme Leaderboard launched. Why? Guys, gotta love em. Read the quotes below and guess the gender of the people who wrote them:
1. “On Techmeme, I am 59th. Only 3 behind Scoble whose OPML file was used to build the service if you buy into the lore. I feel pretty damn good about that too. I think I am the sixth blog on the list done entirely by one person (not sure about that). Dave Winer is the first in that category, and deservedly so.
2. “A pragmatic question for people who want to follow the TechMeme LeaderBoard — it’s clearly not practical to look at it as frequently as it could change, every 20 minutes. Permalink to this paragraph So what kind of tool do we need to tell us about change? Email notification? An RSS feed for each site? I’m interested in knowing what people think.”
3. “I should point out – not that I pay attention to such things, of course – that on the very first publicly released Leaderboard, which was published yesterday by Dave Winer on his venerable blog Scripting News, Rough Type ranked Number 34. (It’s also probably worth noting that Rough Type was actually Number 1 among “real blogs,” as defined by Robert Scoble, who wrote the book on blogging).”
Fellas, fellas, fellas! Sheesh.
