Nobody has a million Twitter followers
- gthank 17y agoSo the author redefines "follower" to suit his own purposes? Makes the title a bit misleading.
- chl 17y agoWell, that's exactly the point; followers in the database != followers that actually pay attention.
- rdrimmie 17y agoI'm curious how quickly most users become frequent Twitter users. My own ramping up process went something along the lines of: Year 0: Made an account, was almost never on the site. Year 1: Started paying a bit more attention, used twitter.com primarily, posted statuses and built up followers Year 2 (present): Basically always have a desktop twitter client open, tweet once or twice a day or so and in rare circumstances spam my followers with conference or *Camp type event updates. I will be quite interested in seeing whether or not the impact of being on the Suggested User List is felt in a year or two as those new users start coming into their Twitter own.
- dnewcome 17y agoThis idea seems analogous to the fallacy of web 'hits' in the 90s.
- earle 17y agoI'm kind of shocked as to why this is a surprise to anybody? Isn't the very basis of twitters communication platform designed to be the basis of this exact situation?
