			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Is Scobleizer a Cylon?</strong></p>
<p>I&#8217;ve always wished I had the same massive information processing gene as Robert Scoble and wondered if there was some upper limit.  In fact, I even considered the possibility of the Scobleizer being a <a href="http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/">Cylon</a>, because of his incredible ability to consume, synthesize, and publish information.</p>
<p><strong>Probably not.  Even Scoble has limits&#8230;20,000 Followed in Twitter.</strong></p>
<p>Well it sounds like today is the day that the upper limit has been reached.  <a href="http://twitter.com/Scobleizer/">@Scobleizer</a> just <a href="http://twitter.com/Scobleizer/statuses/786017072">Tweeted</a>:</p>
<p align="center"><img src="http://elliottng.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/image-11.jpg" alt="Image" height="270" width="450" /></p>
<p>So the upper limit with his information processsing abilities is 20,000 followed.  I am at about 200 followed and it is already generated &#8220;<a href="http://itc.conversationsnetwork.org/shows/detail739.html">continuous partial attention</a>.&#8221;  So far I have loved Twitter and it has expanded my peripheral vision tremendously.</p>
<p>So its nice to know that Scobleizer is not a Cylon and has some upper limit on information processing.</p>
<p>UPDATE:  Robert Seidman (@seidman) had almost the exact same idea only a day or two later. Read his take <a href="http://tvbythenumbers.com/2008/04/11/robert-scoble-terminator-or-cylon/3300">here</a>. This seems weird.  Maybe it is not @scobleizer who is the Cylon but&#8230;wait, what&#8217;s that song that I keep hearing?</p>
