follow

Danacea - Jan 0, 2008 We all use twitter differently, but to me it’s a two-way deal. There are people I follow who don’t follow me back - but they’re senior and respected members of he community from whom I’ve learned a great deal. Otherwise, the conversation, the interaction IS the community and unless it’s two-way, then I do find it pointless… …feels like standing outside a room with your ear pressed to the door - uncomfortable and pointless!

Due to the quantity of people using twitter it’s purpose has changed. From being a place where you tell people what you’re up to it’s become a place where you discuss what you’re up to and what you’re thinking about. As a result of this following people without them following you back is pointless. I went through my twitter list this morning and it was at over 530 people being followed.
