Comment by faramarz | Hacker News Reader

Very neat! I have a dozen or so people in mind I would love to add.. but I don't have the patience to go and find their exact usernames.

So far I have PG and matt_cutts (google)

Anybody would like to share their list for easy picking? :P

My list from hackerfollow:

    bearwithclaws
    CWuestefeld
    DanielBMarkham
    Dove
    danilocampos
    dctoedt
    edw519
    lionhearted
    lotharbot
    patio11
    pg
    philwelch
    potatolicious
    tptacek
    yummyfajitas

My rule is that I add someone if I read a comment by them and think "that was good" and then remember I'd had the same thought about them before. (I also follow myself so I can see when I last checked the site.)

On HackerFollow (http://hackerfollow.com), we created a leaderboard of most-followed users. There's also a bookmarklet for when you're on a user profile to add them.

This seems like a pretty similar service. Love the market validation ;)

Current leaderboard:

AndrewWarner bdittmer davemc500hats dcurtis dhh erickerr gyardley keysersosa kn0thing loganfrederick mojombo paul pg treblig

This hackerfollow.com interface is really good. And we felt the same about the validation!

I always appreciate mechanical_fish's comments. He's not a celebrity like a lot of the people mentioned already (pg, dhh, paul, spolsky), he just writes good comments.

Cheer faramarz! I'm doing the same sort of searching too. Some kind of 'people search' might be nice but not sure how that would be implemented.

off the top of my head...

DHH, Petercooper, and spolsky
