unfollow?...not cool...

Leo said he was just messing around and regretted saying it. You know hes not that kind of guy.

He was kidding I guess
http://pownce.com/leol...

HAHAHA.

It was just a joke: http://leoville.com/20...

Leo said it in jest and anyone thinking he wasn't kidding has a screw loose.

Leo sure is competitive.

Leo mentioned on twit live as a joke that he didn't want you to pass him on Twitter so all the twit fans should unfollow you and follow him instead. He retracted it about 5 seconds later and specifically said it was a joke. I don't know why everyone is being all serious about it lol.

Oh boy, I don't like hearing this at all!
I didn't think Leo was like that...bummer.
If he was just messing around....not really funny
But whatever

Yeah, aren't you following him on twitter Kevin, he twittered he isn't doing that.

That is funny. It sounds like a joke though

I'm glad to hear this was a joke! I really thought there for a minute that good old Leo had lost it, to make a statement like that, but as a joke, all is forgiven.

Wow, that's pretty brutal.

wow...Cranky Geeks indeed.

Kevin,
You should fight Leo and stream it on qik !

Yea Leo quickly changed his mind on this. http://snipurl.com/29naq It's here in about the 4th paragraph down. Leo says"it definitely won’t be necessary to unfollow Kevin."

reply!

Obviously a joke... just like the Martin Sargeant restraining order. :)

All, Leo has since said he was just messing around, there is no battle here from the Diggnation crew :)

Wow, I just sign up and there was only one post. I was thinking I was going to be the second one. Well. No way been following kevin since tss thebroken systm diggnation. Not much of a fan for Leo, your cool and thing, but diggnation is epic.

tech beef getting serious... lame thing to argue over... awesome thing to box over

I didn't know I had to be a hippie stoner/surfer to watch diggnation. Glen will need to make a show to teach people the hippie ways so I can keep watching

And that is why we love Leo.

lol, leo.

he was just joking, chill out.

LEO > KEVIN/ALEX

it's true.

Jesus, Leo and Kevin go way back. Remember TechTV? I don't know why Kevin felt the need to address it the way he did, but stop to those being drama whores about the whole thing. Obviously Kevin has let it go, so please STFU already.

Eek...he isn't serious!....

That's just wrong...

pssh, i followed way before the "bribe"

Leo is a tool anyways

i dont think the twitter followers from florida and michigan should count

Meh, I'm sure he was joking. Leo wouldn't do that to a brotha'. I listened to the podcast already. Yeah, he wants to have the most followers but so does everyone else. I think the majority of the people here thinks the same. Follow me on twitter. I'm 'smarty927'. I haven't quite got the bug yet, so maybe if I had more followers I would like it?

Who really believed this? Funny though.

Leo proves he has a competitive edge yet again, I wouldn't worry Kevin, even if you lose a few followers today you'll still have more by the 25th.

Not true. . .but funny. . .should drive the followers up on both with all these contests they're offering!

It was a joke and said in jest, do not take this seriously.

Wow, talk about a quote taken out of context. The clip shouldn't stop there.

Raoul, if you found out an "old friend" was saying shit about you, I think you'd be a little pissed too...
Of course, looking at clips from Diggnation, TWiT, CFH2.0 and such, Kevin 'n Alex have always seem to have a love/hate relationship with Leo...

This has been an on-going gag for a couple of weeks now on twitlive.tv. Group hug everyone.

http://archon.lattice....

why are all of you obsessed with twitter, pownce is the future

its no big deal... every twit there's always some discussion of who's winning the twitter count. obviously he's kidding. they're always talking about scoble v calacanis and calacanis' macbook air give away... its all in good fun.

You should do a contest on how many pownce followers you get

Unbelievable! I use to like Leo but what a moron.. because of this I will now unfollow you Leo and don't plan on listening to anymore of you twit-whatever crap.. What a cry baby.. A lot of your followers are also Diggnation followers and I think you just lost them.. idiot.

Travis,

Agreed. But they are friends, and I have seen first hand what happens when people who are unaffected by a situation, yet overdramatize a situation and make an issue where nothing is.

If KRose has a problem, he will take care of it. Complaining and fueling an already dead fire just does damage. If both didn't seem like honestly good people, it wouldn't matter.

It would just suck if either was affected negatively by a little spat that got out of hand. Old friends typically get leniency in situations like this.

I'm not unfollowing anyone. Well I couldn't at the moment anyway... Twitter seems to be down. 4:40ish EST.

I don't think this is such a serious thing. It's a playful battle, everyone enjoys watching it.

I definately don't feel this is an "uncool" gesture by Leo. I took it in jest, in the hopes of winning a meaningless contest. Even by those rules, if he was serious, just un-follow Kevin and Alex on the 25th, and at 12:01A on the 26th, and all's good again. Of course, that's if you care about winning a gaming rig. Can people drop it already? I hate to see this dust-up and seeing phrases like "A lot of your followers are also Diggnation followers and I think you just lost them.. idiot" alienating eachother when it was a not-serious thing to begin with!

And even if it was serious, I'd hate to see how you guys would react to the rules for contests held on mainstream radio!

Caged geek match! Kevin's got youth, but Leo's got bulk...I dunno, I think I'd put my money on the TwiT.

No give aways and he didn't mean as taken I was moderating in the chatroom.

Leo may have been joking around, but it sure didn't sound like it.

The concept of following/fans still seems a bit juvenile to me...

Oh Leo's fightin' dirty. LOL
Hey Leo! You want me to follow you? Give away a Corvette.

But Kevin he says to unfollow you on Twiter because he is giving away a new gaming computer. He said that on TWIT on Sunday

ALL END UP/STAY FRIENDS....i HOPE :-)

this was all a big joke...i hope nobody is taking this seriously. honestly lost friends over twitter counts? never. especially not amongst the techtv crew. keep it real

Play dirty back.....Leo did that in fun, tactless fun, but still fun. If it weren't for the pull Leo had on TSS IMO, there would be no Kevin Rose..so like chill n stuff?

I don't think we should bash Leo in anyway. It wasn't meant to be mean or anything. I think this is being blown out of preportion. I am a fan of both Leo and Kevin and it was just fun that went awry.

Convenient place to cut the audio off.. it's definably taken out of context. "have you heard the whole sermon.. err i mean twitt" :)

hahhaha I think Leo's jsut messin around. I wish I still listened to twit

This is Leo's twitter after someone cussed him out for what he said in this clip.

"@dogsupporter I don't blame you a bit. I can only say I was drunk and out of control. Everyone follow @kevinrose and unfollow me. Please!"

Keep following Kevin though. I have $100's of riding on this one!

Leo is being more and more of a jerk. I've been losing interest in Twit for a while now, and I'm sure others are feeling the same. I bet he's feeling the pinch. Rev3 should just hire everyone left from TechTV (Leo and Dvorak), and we can all be one big happy family again.

Leave Kevin ALONE! I was just messing around. It was the ned of a long week and I was acting overcompetitive.

You know Kevin will be #1 on Twitter in a matter of hours no matter what I say. Please don't unfollow him or anyone else. And we're going to figure out a way to give away the UGM that doesn't require Twitter membership.

as the saying goes, "any publicity is good publicity" (on or pownce or twitter) for both Leo and Kevin so they accomplished their goals to get lots of followers joke or no joke.

it would be silly for anyone not to be following Leo AND Kevin AND Alex...

But we should all agree that the real John C Dvorak should NOT win...

This whole thing reminds me how silly people can be and how petty things can get. As I said before I like both Kevin and Leo and won't stop following either of them. Some people have taken this whol thing way too seriously and need to step back and take some deep breaths.

I used to watch the Dvorak show once and a while, but then stopped when I realized that the guy is a huge douche, and doesn't know what he is talking about half of the time.

I respect Leo, and think he is an awesome guy, but this is ... childish

If you hear the minute after this cut down audio, you will understand that this was a joke.

Aww, come on. There's got to be more to it than that - you cut it off too quick. I just don't think Leo is that kind of person. And it almost looks bad on you for posting this... But hey, I could be wrong :)

I like leo, but not cool... not cool.

Team Leo!

I hope we don't get into a Team Leo/Team Kevin thing, because that's very childish, IMHO. I hope this is dropped soon.
Kevin, you are a cool guy, and Leo is a cool guy too. I feel badly for both Leo and Kevin, because I have a feeling both didn't want this to happen.

I'm following the twitter stats on Trendrr.com! http://www.trendrr.com...

Yeah, that is a quote taken out of context. Everyone needs to calm the f*** down.

Seriously, I think it is obvious that Leo and Kevin are good friends!

Leo was joking clearly, please stop the drama, kthx

Nice! Serious competition on Twitter!

"Maybe we should give a surfboard" Haha!
