With the recent Meme of listing the top 10 People you recommend to follow on FriendFeed, I decided to select 10 people who I follow on FriendFeed that have contributed the most interesting posts. Before you hop down through the list, don't forget to Subscribe to my FriendFeed.

Without further ado here are are my picks for the top 10 people worth following on FriendFeed for December:

• Leo Laporte - is the Chief TWiT of the TWiT Netcast Network. Hosting several different Netcast Shows of largely Tech content every week. I list him first, since his explanation of FriendFeed on recent episodes of TWiT and Net@Night is what first motivated me to join FriendFeed.
• FFundercats - Mark Wilson from Ontario, Canada, Josh Haley from Texas, USA, and John Worthington from Brisbane, Australia make up the trio of FFundercats. They produce a weekly podcast discussing the top posts on FriendFeed, interview some of the top users on FriendFeed, and generally provide a funny and entertaining show. Yes technically that is 3 people, but this trio have such good chemistry FriendFeed might as well make a Subscribe to 1-get-2 Free button! =)
  
• David Weinberger - The name might not sound familiar to you but one of his books probably is, he is a co-author of The Cluetrain Manifesto, and technically he should be called Dr. David Weinberger. He holds a Ph.D. in philosophy and is a Professor at a school you may have heard of, Harvard University. He doesn't comment all that much on FriendFeed directly, but all of his blog posts and tweets provide lots of interesting content that is pulled into his FriendFeed account, this is what makes him worth following.
• Ethan Bloch - I first came across Ethan on (the now defunct Pownce) and his excellent video show WSYK (What Should You Know), recently he has been producing videos discussing the economic downturn and stock market that he apparently follows very closely (atleast much closer than I do).
• Tina (AKA Stupid Blogger) - Tina posts lots of funny and technically interesting links and photos. I first heard of hear on FFundercats Episode 3.
• Rahsheen - Rahsheen is very active on FriendFeed, posting interesting links to technical and funny stuff. I first heard Rahsheen on FFundercats Episode 2.
• JD Lasica - he is one of the founders of OurMedia.org the site that works with Archive.org and where audio, video, and photos can be uploaded at no cost, he is continuously active in the Social Media industry.
• Morton Fox - I first came across Morton's Flickr photo account, where he posts photos of food he eats almost daily. I really enjoyed his food photos since I tend to do the same, taking way too many photos of the food I eat. It turns out he's very active on various places around the web, that I found out after finding him on FriendFeed.
• Silpol - Silpol and I happen to work for the same employer (Nokia) though we've never met, he tends to work on the Maemo side of things running onthe Nokia Internet Tablets. He is very active on the web, posting on a variety of topics, including some photos that are borderline NSFW.
• Soup - While Soup doesn't post as frequently as some of the other FriendFeeders on the list, the links and photos that are posted are quality, always interesting articles or funny photos/videos.

You've probably heard a lot about Senator McCain and Senator Obama that are running for the US Presidency.
But do you know who the selected VP Candidates are?

Watch Ethan Bloch's, informative and entertaining answer to What Should You Know (WSYK) about these two VP candidates.
After watching the videos and finding out more about these candidates, which one do you think would make a better VP?
