Robert Scoble Needs a “Twittervention”

Posted on March 7th, 2008

Robert Scoble is one of my favorite bloggers. His prolific postings on all things tech are always worth reading, if only for shear entertainment value. I frequently follow him on Twitter and other social network circles where he’s willing to add me as friend - which is to say everywhere. He’s earned the nickname “Scobleizer” for good reason; the man is a blogging machine. I think he has Cat5 cable running intravenously into each arm, and a video camera hooked to his… well somewhere. He is unstoppable.

If you follow him on Twitter you quickly learn a painful lesson - post often or your Twitter profile with be swallowed by his postings. With Twitterific running in the background, my Mac sings like a bloody canary chirping away in the menubar, alerting me to every twitter emanating from Scoble as they pour forth from the ether. Between his live streaming and constant updates, I am buried is a sea of Scoblings.

I edited my profile today an made a horrifying discovery; Scoble ate my Twitter! He dominates my profile page. Which means it’s time for me to post more frequenly, or time for Robert’s family and colleagues to intervene and take away his Twitter privileges. Come home, Robert. Your family misses you.
