Just got to the part in Brian Solis' book where he says "You are the real thing". Thanks, Brian. I needed that.

And THIS is why I love Twitter

You get to rub (possibly the wrong way) elbows with the smart and famous! Steve Rubel, Senior Vice President/Director of Insights for Edelman Digital, lifestreamer, AdAge and Forbes columnist and avid sports fan, has personally told me to ‘buzz off’. I earned it for protesting that he nearly roped me into signing up for Google Buzz, when I (kind of  ironically) went to comment on his ‘buzz’ about social media overload.

Steve has tweeted 10,095 times (as of this tweet), so that means .009906% of the time, he’s talking about me!

I should also take this opportunity to note with gratitude that I get a large amount of traffic (for me) from comments I’ve made on Steve’s lifestream, and that Steve’s readers spend by far the most time of any visitors to my site reading content—an average of  12 minutes each over 5 pages! Some smart fans, Steve Rubel’s lifestream has.

/sense of accomplishment for today.

    First, thank you for sticking with me. What I was trying to say here is that my Buzz can be overwhelming because of the comments. Some have said they are going to un-follow me as a result. I thought you were in this club! I am lucky to have smart readers/followers like you! Keep in touch. – Steve

    Ha! The above was quite wonderful :) & Steve comes across as understanding (and I mean this genuinely) about the woes of internet popularity. I love your percentage of the time he’s talking about you. Classic.
