Twitter

I love Twitter, I hate Twitter. If you don't get it, well, don't feel lame. Twitter has it's uses, but those uses are not for everyone. As an information gathering tool, a networking tool (as in meeting people with similar interest), and a marketing tool (or a pushing info/viewpoint tool...I'll put that under "marketing) Twitter is an awesome tool that will only get better.

I've had a few people look at my number of followers and ask how I and why I have the numbers that I do. My numbers aren't that impressive, nor does anyone's really need to be use Twitter effectively. My numbers do look impressive to friends of mine that are just getting started with Twitter and wonder how to expand their following. I had so many questions about it I finally wrote something down for an indie gamer forum and then later posted that to associated content. The information might be of use to some, if so check it out.

A Simple Eight Point Strategy to Grow Your Twitter Following

Let me know if this helps, or successful strategies that you have had. And remember, numbers don't mean anything. My numbers are high because there is a lot of political turmoil in the U.S. right now, and I'm seeking out like minded people that I can gather information from and in turn push information that I stumble across that has political relevance too. There are a lot of fellow dissatisfied politicos out there, thus the high numbers. I think an indie gamers who is just on to meet fellow indie gamers would be doing fine by having a following of 10, if there is a lot of useful info being passed back and forth. Twitter is what you make of it, numbers by themselves are meaningless.
