Last Week The Vancouver Sun and NowPublic posted a list of the ‘Top 20 Web Visible’ people in Vancouver. I was number 4 on the list. Their methodology was questionable, but I’m always stoked and humbled to be included with the likes of the other 19 on the list. Thank you thank you thank you! 🙂
Some people who seem frustrated to have placed below me on the list have questioned my position considering I haven’t posted on this blog since August. True guys. I haven’t. But the list wasn’t called ‘Highest Traffic Blogs’ it was called ‘Most Web Visible’. News flash: We’re moving from a web of pages, to a web of streams. Buy me a beer and I’ll tell explain what that means. 😉 In the mean time you may want to check out some of the places I’m visible on the web that aren’t this blog.
- Twitter – my daily microblog updates from my mobile phone. My Facebook status messages also get updated automagically via Twitter.
- Flickr – 20,000 Creative Commons licensed photos and growing.
- YouTube – I love Videoblogging and have posted about 200 episodes. Wish I had more time and better gear!
- LinkedIn – I currate my CV here. 114 endorsements and recommendations from customers and partners and employees and 1000+ professional contacts.
- Dopplr – I’ve been travelling a ton and use Dopplr to publicize my comings and goings and see who will be at the same place at the same time. It’s rad. Check it!
- FriendFeed – Next level geek shit. The way to follow the web of streams.
- Delicious – I still post interesting links and pointers here though I have gotten a bit lazy and sometimes just ‘Share of Facebook’. 🙁
- Facebook – A good catchall for my less media savvy friends and family. I point all my streams there. Ends up looking like I spend a lot more time on Facebook than I actually do. 😉
I’m equally delinquent in updating these sites as well but I also blog at Static Photography and Raincity Studios among other places. Anyway, congrats to all the other geeks and nerds who made this list. Don’t listen to the haters and trolls. Much love! 🙂

Good points. Hopefully that distinction will make some people feel a little less bitter about not being included on that list. Congratulations on being visible! 🙂
You’re very dogged about LinkedIn stuff–I should get on that. It’s certainly not something I’ve been paying much attention to.
You actually consider yourself that interesting?
I do not.
Allan,
I’m sure you’re aware that KK didn’t create the list and rank himself #4 there right? I sure hope you do. So I guess it’s other folks that find him interesting. You get that… Right?!?
Great article Kris! So true on many levels.
Does that make you like the 4th coolest kid in class? Neat!
