This whole article rests on the idea that reach (number of followers) equals influence.
Twitter pretty much proves that wrong right out of the gate, so why is anyone debating it?
This says absolutely nothing about whether people with real influence (which isn't the same thing at all as number of connections) affect things.
- Tichy 17y agoDoes Twitter disprove that? A lot of people with many followers on Twitter have mostly fake followers. I think people with a lot of real followers do have influence on Twitter. For example a friend of mine bought a band's new album just because @veronica mentioned that she liked them. @veronica has 1500000 followers on Twitter. I think for a band it can make a real difference if she mentions them.
