I’m not into Twitter that much either. I like my free time to be free and not use my mobile phone to update my twitter status when I’m doing something fun

I have been on Twitter for some time, and just recently have seen a sharp increase in the number of people following me. Seems like the name of the game is how many followers you have. I don’t really care, as I kind of do my own thing anyway.

I did follow Britney Spears for a while just for fun, and started getting a lot of young girls following me, so I quickly unfollowed her.

I try to stay mostly in my own niche, in the people I follow, although, I am starting to see the possibility to tap into different networks.

This is very exciting.

I appreciate content, and an exchange of ideas, more than a bunch of marketers all trying to sell each other something!

By the way check out this Hot New Product blah, blah… (just kidding)

I have started using Twitter (about a month ago), and while I still only have 16 followers, I have still got feed susbcriptions from them on my blog, which is what I joined Twitter to do, to get targeted traffic, or relatively targeted at least. I like your blog, I’m going to bookmark on my top 10 social nets.

It does help me increase page views, but damn is it asinine.

Twitter is getting addictive for people, I just saw an video about twitter and how people are so into the micro blogging thing from the current website.

True Post , twitter had now become mainly the you follow me and I follow you game which is of no use Every bosy want a long list of followers who follow you only if you follow them . and Quality is lost because of quantity

I agree that quality wins. Sometimes I think that Twitter, Facebook, etc. are all just a huge time eater. I think I need to do a little spring cleaning…

Why do you use twitter? I use it for different reasons.

Is it a game for getting the most followers? I do like to have more followers than I am following.

Or is it to keep tabs on certain people, and what they’re doing? In the beginning I had the time to read what my select important people were doing now there are too many to "keep tabs."

Or is it to follow ideas? I love some of the sites and people I have found through tweets.

I used SocialToo to auto-follow everybody and things continue growing.
-Interesting to see the auto-follow stats I have never tried that. I like to follow people that I meet or people that I find interesting so I've never tried this or any other tool.

Clean up your twitters. And no better time than the Spring time. #springcleaning09
- I will try #springcleaning09 but I kind of want to try the autofollow as an experiment as well. Decisions, decisions.

Great update to the @Jangro Love/Hate Twitter Relationship.
