"brb bio" is a gamer term meaning ill be right back, i have to perform natural biological tasks in the bathroom. given that its a primarily gaming-related cartoon they use a lot of gamer terminology.
and no sorry I didnt see it had already been posted but I had indeed been reading the thread.
Glad everyone likes the Coultometer! While I investigate algorithms which give more accurate results, I have updated the program slightly: http://www.danplusadd.co.uk/coultometer.
If you want, you can now store your username so that it'll be used in a chart I'm going to create which will be put up when there's a few people on there.
"I realise Twitter isn't an accurate representation of Nerd fame, so please don't be offended if yours is lower than expected. This is just meant for fun"
Surely as the Coulton is a new term anyway, how would you know what to expect, unless by some other measurement you're already more famous than JoCo (ha!), but have less people following you.
Regarding using the fact that JoCo follows you, for anyone concerned:
That would require password authentication. I want this tool to be something anybody can use with great ease for any username they like, just for fun. So I'm afraid JoCo cannot increase your nerd fame directly. He can, however, do so indirectly. By being a follower of yours, he is putting you in a potential limelight ;-)
A bit late with this, but I tend to agree with Spiff. Seems like just another thing to worry about having to keep updated to me, and the whole world doesn't need to know where I am or what I'm doing all the time. However, I'm not trying to rain on everyone's parade - if you like it, by all means, keep having fun!
Wow, that's pretty cool...funny, actually. Obama's is at least more...realistic (for lack of being able to think of a better word) than Tom Cruise's, though I would guess that his is actually done by his campaign people, not just someone random like TC's seems to be.
Angela just linked this topic to me in a tweet. It's true, after dissing the Twitter for so long, I've joined up. For anyone who cares, I'm @spiffworld, 'natch.

P.S. I've put mine on there to be stored now.
