The length isn’t the only thing that’s unique about my name. If you search only my first name on Facebook or Google, you will discover that I’m the only Thusenth in the world.

Update:

Well, I’m over 500…how could I say no to such a request?

I’ll need to figure out who to drop.

I want to link with you and push someone off your LinkedIn list. I’m a big fan of Wikinomics and Wikinomics is a big fan of me (China Law Blog — http://www.chinalawblog.com). Let’s link as I am already past nerddom anyway and still climbing.

Now I’m feeling guilty for causing you to bump someone. So let me try another tact and point out how ridiculous and arbitrary it is for you to deem 499 as cool and 501 as nerdy. Seems to me you should just go with the flow and become one with your innner nerdness and just keep on linking.

Well, this has gone to hell pretty quick.

Tracey Pether http://www.traceypether.com/ just accepted an invitation I sent months ago.

I can’t cut her…she’s the doyenne of my social group. I’d be a complete outcast.

Maybe Dan is right.

I didn’t know about that 500 limit. That’s a pain, especially as I once did a six-degrees back-of-an-envelope calculation that ultimately I’d be connected to 216,453,562,521 people
