9 months ago most of us hadn't even heard of the guy. But today he's breaking tech news like the best of them. Active on FriendFeed. And, already the most popular non-employee Newsmaker on socialmedian.

LOL, this is the article?

Yes, a new form of micro news writing on socialmedian using our "news" button top left. Anyone can write and share a news story in seconds.

Oh dear. Who paid for this hype? Not I!

The worst part about hype is living up to it.

I think Louis is the best bloggers on the scene.

I'm just trying to be the next Louis Gray and finding I come up short.

We'll always come up short trying to be someone else.

I definitely see his star rising - and he has the work ethic to do it. But he should be his own man.

Could be certainly more modest.

Didn't know you were over here Robert - should've guessed you were. I like socialmedian a lot. That said, no one is "the next you" - but Louis has a great voice :)

Couldn't happen to a nicer man! Plus, Mathew needs steady employment now.

It's about the ideas, not the names.

Louis Gray? Never heard of him.

This seems like a silly way to get us that aspire to be like Scoble to come read this little plug. I guess it worked.

Why would any one be like somebody else when we know that is just impossible. Don't want to ruin the fun or anything like that. You all know I am on Top Plurkers on Plurk but that does not mean I am better then somebody with 15 friends. Anyways I like Robert because he has that evil look while writing blog post on Scobleizer.com , yet I like Louis who is not known for 9 months but 30+ some years at least to others if not tech people. Both Robert and Louis have great personality and social skills where unlike other fa* tech bloggers don't. If you know what I mean?

I think the intent is that Mr. Gray will be the Next Tippy-Top Tier Blogger. No one surpasses Scoble but since there is a beginning, there is also a demise. Louis has created a new position. Scoble is safe for now :)

What attributes must a character have to count as a Robert Scoble?

@Meta Hmmm... several phones, some type of live streaming device, many detractors, a few sycophants, and a deep and abiding love of Web technology. Louis, how many phones do you have and where is your Qik stream?
