Yeah, that's not me, but Steven Rubel says it's him to a “T.” But Steven's not on Guy Kawasaki's Alltop “ego” list…so maybe he's mistaken…

Cool Beans! Don't worry folks.. I'd recognize you on the streets!

LOL – my wife keeps saying to me: “You're famous…[pause]…on the Internet. Glad to have you confirm it's not yet true!

greenskeptic added these pithy words on Jul 10 08 at 10:03 pm

Ha! am so NOT famous

becky added these pithy words on Jul 10 08 at 11:15 pm

so how many out of those 10 do you need to make the internet famous mark?

rick calvert added these pithy words on Jul 10 08 at 11:28 pm

David Letterman and the 1980s called. They want their idea back.

I swear, I'm so famous I can barely leave my house. It's ridiculous. Leave me alone people. No I won't sign that. Fine, just one picture, then will you go away? No, I won't introduce you to Scoble. OK, OK, I'll tell Guy Kawasaki that that girl who waved at him at the Web 2.0 conference said to say hi. Sheesh.

Love it.

I think we can add one more to the list. You've decided to give up blogging and communicate via an email list.

Paul Chaney added these pithy words on Jul 18 08 at 6:28 am

People actually miss it when you don't Tweet for a day or two.

Nice list. Really made me smile (especially the bit about iPhone purchase news).

Dorai added these pithy words on Jul 21 08 at 7:59 am

Nope

no worries here!

Best Wishes

Best wishes.

Is this very necessary to become famous?

Texas Health Insurance Quotes added these pithy words on Mar 13 09 at 1:11 am

may be every one wants to be famous. but do we think that if every body becomes famous then what happens? So I think it's not necessary to become famous. just become a good human being.
