A very quick note to all SGA readers: You may now use a Coultometer to measure how “Nerd-famous you are by comparing your Twitter following to the Twitter following of Jonathan Coulton, the musician, Internet superstar, and high-ranking geek.”
I, dear readers, am a mere 0.0201 Coultons famous. My Coultonic state is sub-coultonic.

I wonder if he is the most followed person on Twitter?
He certainly made me feel totally inadequate with a rating of only 0.0009 Coultons… But I felt a little better after I put Coulton on my Twitter blocked list.
I’m probably actually a little bit safer now too. He only lives a few miles away from me over in Brooklyn, and could easily have turned into a dangerous stalker if I had not been wise enough to take pre-emptive action on this.
Now I am wondering who the “most blocked” person on Twiter is…
I am clearly never going to be able to catch Coulton as “most followed,” but perhaps I could aspire to this more dubious title?
Why not?
Let it be known that I am officially starting the “block whysean” campaign.
Everyone please click on the link below, and after you are done blocking me, please send the link to all of your friends, so they can do the same:

There is probably no way to confirm my “most blocked” title and cash in on it, and it is unlikely anyone will ever be able to write a cute netapp that measures how much of a jerk you are in Hastings units, but this might still work out well for me…
Once everyone has blocked me, Twitter will effectively become useless for me, and I will thereafter be immune to this latest social networking addiction!
aww, sean, i refuse to block you
i’m .05
’salright,
if you follow that link, it will NOT actually block me as advertised anyway - it was a joke that probably only I would find funny.
And, BTW, by my calculations, Coulton only ranks .28 Dvoraks.
0.2902 Coultons! Not bad
Thanks for the link, that was fun…
