how is this different from hoos' "thread of social media assholes"? bullet points plz

~yardsticks furiously~

• Nice to see some other major western democracy have an unusual election for once. Congratulations to the Tories.

* 1. - it's more focused on a particular subspecies of social media assholes

These are social media assholes we read & trust.

its abt the don 'daring fireball' gruber and his point n click posse

are you in stellar, JM? I had the idea to make sthing like that, so pretty glad Kottke did it and I can go back to not bothering

xp does Hoos's thread have Helvetica?

http://daringfireball.net
http://readandtrust.com

its abt elegance basically

and helvetica, the most elegant of fonts

a yardstick

a beacon

* I have a serious question. Why spell it fanboi? Is that like fanboy but also gay?

its abt a lot of things

i feel like gruber's fanboi post is too perfect, it has to be a troll

is that like skater but also 8?

Can understand why this guy hates Google so much if he keeps checking Analytics to find people like us laughing at him.

you could say... that google analytics... used in this way... is like ... a beacon

*bows head, ponders weightily*

Stellar is great, yes. Really needs the ability to find your friends, though. I'm just following a bunch of randoms and it's worrying how often people favorite Gruber's stuff.

well they prob just read and then trusted him

Can I hav an invite? Will pay in trinkets and gewgaws

jm, what are they favoriting? his tweets?

can you favorite a blog post? idk the internet is complicated

Can send an invite to the email on your user profile. Only got one left, though.

Gruber's page is here: http://stellar.io/gruber/bestof

would also love stellar invite if anyone has any spare left

Yes please, thx! I will give it back to you when I get some.

where would i find the invites if i had any on my acct?

http://stellar.io/x/invite/friends ?

i guess i dont have any invites

You don’t see many executives trading up from CEO of one company to senior vice president of another. That Browett is from Europe is a pretty good signal that international expansion is a top priority for Apple retail.

Gruber's work serves as a lone wolf, a standard bearer, for my own:

Writers like John Gruber and podcasters like Dan Benjamin have gone from being lone wolfs to standard bearers.

John Gruber, Dan Benjamin, Marco Arment, Horace Dediu, all of these people are setting a very high standard for this community, and it’s not just in the level of professionalism they show in their work: it’s also how much they care about what they do and take pride in it. If you read Daring Fireball, listen to Dan’s shows on 5by5, or use Instapaper, there’s no doubt they really love to do what they’re doing.

wolfs?
