How many people/whatevs follow you?
It’s a mixture of people and androids. Hard to tell which are which sometimes.
None. I only use Twitter to follow people, not to Tweet and be followed myself. I’ve only Tweeted a handful of times, and they were all for contest giveaways and the like.
At the moment 384.
That is all I have to say! Is it celebs or RL friends?
I think I have 2. Both are some random people whom I don’t know. They must be disappointed because I only have Twitter to follow wrestling and I never tweet anything.
But still. Two! Two people follow me!
On my personal account? 212
But the account that I use for my self-run business: Nearly 1,400
Only a handful. But I want more. I’m gonna make an effort.
Actually, that reminds me, I also had one random person follow me for a while too. I think she was involved in real estate, which is odd, since I have absolutely zero connections to anything involving real estate. But then she unfollowed me after a while. I guess I was too boring.
There needed to be an option for “I don’t use Twitter.”
Edit: 'Cause I don’t.
The thread title should keep those folks away. Though I coulda offered pie.
Somehow I’ve got to 2241. I tend to ignore or unfollow people who only want to follow me in order to get followed back like follower count is some sort of competition. But I do follow back if I’m followed by a human who uses Twitter normally.
Okay, too many variants of the word follow it this post.
Fiendish-I understood exactly what you meant. You don’t follow Twitter whores.
106 at the moment. I constantly block bots or other such unsavory characters.
Nah, she was just trying to get you to follow back because she doesn’t understand how Twitter works and is a numbers whore. Because 8000 unengaged followers are better than 50 who hang on your every word, or something. She dropped you because you didn’t follow her back fast enough. For shame!
Some people are pretty frenetic about the follow back thing, too. I’ve had people follow and unfollow in less than a day. I might check my followers list once or twice a month.
619 right now - and I try to block spammers/bots/etc as I notice them following me, but I’m sure I missed some.
I’m also sure some of those accounts are no longer active - I’ve been on Twitter since early days (March or April of 2007), so people have come and gone without deleting their accounts in that time.
