Ok, have you been on twitter? I have been for sometime and I have been enriched by some of the useful discussion and cross-fire that goes around. By many accounts, twitter is the next big thing.. and many say that Google is also interested in it.
I think its strength is that its like a giant IM where you are talking to a lot of people – who have an interesting term for people connected to you: “Followers”. Not friends or connections… FOLLOWERS! Twitter makes one feel like a leader from the get go. And I guess one was tired of having friends in real life.. and needed some “followers”. Its time I had some “Guru moments” myself! So, what do you know.. I get 800 FOLLOWERS. That’s a huge number of suckers running after a zombie with a blog! 🙂 I may not be an Obama with 80% rating in a country.. but I have the next best thing.. 800 world wide “smart” and tech-savvy FOLLOWERS! Everyone of them is worth it!
Are you on twitter? And how many Followers do you have?
