My point was that on twitter, his tweets don't reflect his follower numbers - so I wondered what else made people follow him. Got a few great answers now!

So I would consider myself a fan. As far as Twitter goes, he treats it as a popularity contest and follows only his close friends and associates. I enjoy Diggnation and keep up with his ongoings but after witnessing him giving away tech toys as incentives for followers on Twitter, I decided to not contribute to his huge ego boost. So, boring or not I am not a follower of his on Twitter. Great blog by the way! I have followed Kevin Rose since TechTV. So I would consider myself a fan.

A smart and funny guy away from Twitter - but all tea drinking and climbing rocks on Twitter. Weird... Begging?

A smart and funny guy away from Twitter – but all tea drinking and climbing rocks on Twitter.

Weird…

Rose is the number one <strong>TECH </strong>person on Twitter. You seriously missed that? The clue is in the title of the blog: <strong>The Tech News Blog.</strong> I cannot make it any clearer surely? I see you also now agree with my main point, yet you never acknowledged it? So, I have answered your question - yes? Bitshiftr,

Rose is the number one TECH person on Twitter.

You seriously missed that? The clue is in the title of the blog:
The Tech News Blog.

I cannot make it any clearer surely?

I see you also now agree with my main point, yet you never acknowledged it?

So, I have answered your question – yes?

Maybe it's because Kevin's life may be a tad bit interesting OFF Twitter that we feel compelled to follow him ON Twitter. His followers want to live vicariously through what he said on Twitter. But this discussion did not arise out of who is boring and who is not boring. I just wanted to know why he chose to attack Kevin over Barack. I still don't have an answer.
