Are you really complaining that Twitter is too hard? It's taken me a couple of years, but I've accumulated over a thousand followers on Twitter. Some of those came through my blog, but most came through Stack Overflow where I'm a moderator and active contributor. The point is that you have to actually do something to make people want to follow you. Why would people give you their attention (even micro slices of their attention) otherwise? Also: > I don't want Twitter to start looking into my Gmail and follow people who are on Twitter. seems at odds with: > This is why you should be very afraid of Google+, they give people an instant audience. That's very powerful.
