This is a great tool! Measuring your Tweet load in Scoble units is brilliant. I'm unfollowing my top 4. I can't bear to unfollow #5, @gapingvoid at 150 tweets/week. After that, the next 4 are going, and #10 @mike_ftw gets to stay with his 82 tweets. Not bad at all, I feel like this is really going to help me focus on the neglected long tail of people I follow who don't tweet 20+ times a day.

"This is equivalent to following Robert Scoble 17 times"

haha

Hugh McLeod is a sad, insecure, self-obsessed man of such vacuous character as to inspire immediate depression. Really, ubfollow him too.

Tch. Sorry you feel that way. I like his stuff.

Sure, I understand. For me, there's only so much empty retweeting of blind praise, along with brittle, white knuckle cries of "douchebag" against anyone with the temerity ever to express disagreement, that I'm able to stomach. Hugh pretty much blows through a lifetime quota in about a week.

Honestly, I feel so sad for this guy I want to puke and sob and nap all at the same time. I've never felt more gut wrenching pity for someone I haven't met not living in abject poverty. He's a useful cautionary tale but not a great follow.
