    Oddly, you were able to track this before me. When I tried to use the product, it didn't work. And yes, I would easily argue that this is the wrong metric to compare. Scoble beats me in every category, period.

    well I've got 23 under GeekMommy - but I'm not telling the other IDs I use! ;)

    I think from my own experience Robert Scoble certainly (we met in Amsterdam in April at The Next Web Conference) and Louis Gray most probably (yet to meet) are both individuals who have an extraordinary level of curiosity, energy and enthusiasm, as well as the kind of intellects that allow them to be objective. That's why people follow them, and that's how they manage to engage across many platforms and networks.

    They both work hard at being visible, and spend time engaging others - nobody would tolerate the noise if they had nothing of substance behind their 'omnipresence'. They are also both very good at developing and maintaining a consistent personal identity or brand online.

    Although I don't think either of them really welcome (or merit) such a simplistic comparison, and would probably say it's no race, I am certain what they do have in common is that they probably both get through phone, PDA and laptop batteries with a fury.

    David, I agree. Having spent time with both of them, it is quite
    amazing to watch how both of them get things done. Both are amazing
    at what they do, and I agree - it really isn't a race. It's fun to
    pretend it is though. ;-)

    Jesse - I think you sent 50 or 100 (or 1000) people to usernamecheck. It's really slowwwww. Can just see a whole bunch of people grabbing their names all over the place. Funny :)

    Webware and Lifehacker are featuring them as well, so it's not just me
    I don't think.

    Not only does he out-omnipotize Scoble, but he arrives here within minutes to post the first comment.

    Impressive.

    This is a self-imposed title and thus meaningless. Who cares how many networks they belong to? What do they do with those networks? Have they just logged in once? It's like measuring a twitter users popularity by how many people THEY follow.

    A true measurement would be about *demand* and I'll bet the demand for either of these guys is smaller than they think.

    Kevin, I agree, but I think if you look at the activity they have in
    each of those networks, you'll see these two are some of the few
    larger influentials that actually pay attention to the thousands that
    follow them. Louis and Scoble really do listen to those that follow
    them. They have an amazing ability to pay attention, unlike a lot of
    the others out there (which there's nothing wrong with - these guys
    are just really good!).

    I find this a very odd post. I don't understand why would anyone write something like this, except for self serving reasons.

    Idan, I have no reason to suck up to either of them. I'm friends with
    both of them. I found a cool service and thought it would be
    interesting to see how many services 2 bloggers known for their web
    presence belong to. I thought it was an amusing topic. What do you
    think is odd about it?
