: Well I would say Louis Gray's got something. He seems more human sometimes. I don't know about the process to get to the top but I do remember when you wouldn't know the guy and you witness his gradual transformation into a credible standing voice in social media. Will he be the next Robert Scoble. I think they are both good at what they do and they do have different profiles and characters, at least the part we know. As a source of information and opinions I certainly trust both, not just because of the buzz around them but for the constant flow of knowledge and interesting info they send my way. I hope he is not the next R.S. and he wouldn't want to either. Thanks God. There must be a little bit of everything. Will Robert Scoble be the next Louis Gray? That could be another good heading. They are good their own special way and that's all.
