I don't care because I am FIRST!

The number of social media experts it will take to change a lightbulb depends on how many followers, fans and friends each expert has. The inverse of the friends multiplied by the followers should provide a clue into the total number required. You must of course adjust for the Digg effeect.

Maybe we should listen to the lightbulb first and find out if it really wants to be changed....

3.48 to be exact (trust me... do the math).

PS Let's make sure we replace the lightbulb with a eco-friendly one!

Leave it to the dumbest one in the crowd to change the bulb while the social media "experts" carry on by the light of their backlit LED monitors.

Several days. That's how long it will take me to safely get a sense of the consensus view.

Technically one. But every other person will come up, unscrew it, and do it again. Then write a blog post about it.

Who needs light bulbs? The glow of the computer is all I require... It's the only light that doesn't hurt my eyes.

OR

It doesn't matter how many you have they will just wait for the next one to burn out and then dance around it for 25 years... Oh wait... That's how many Grateful Dead fans it takes

A. We'll have to check google analytics to see if it really was a lightbulb that started the conversation.

A. Is there a Metric for measuring that?

A. Depends on the ROI

A. Was it a lightbulb, an led, or an oled? We really need to know before we jump the gun and try to install it.

A. If it's got mercury, maybe we should talk about it before trying to change anything.

Posted by: Stefan Holt

it all depends if you can auto post to twitter and friendfeed when the light bulb is turned on and off.

What's the biz model of the lightbulb? Fred? Anyone?

Posted by: eric rice

A. First, I need to know the lightbulb's PageRank.

A. Has anyone done a YouTube video tutorial yet?

All I know is that they don't have to change it in exactly 30 seconds anymore.

Maybe one or two, though thousands have claimed to have done it, and have blogged about how to best do it.
