Completely agreed. And you’ve proven your point. Your post includes relevant information, good insights and reflections and it’s been re-tweeted to the end of the world.

That’s what annoys me about the followers game. I don’t care if I have 2, 2,000 or 200,000 – I have the BEST ones.

Very nice piece – Basically if you have a focus and a focused audience, you have a more focused shooting power and higher chances to reach a target that feels an active part of your tribe. A company that has a focus is usually more successful than a company with a scattered “potential.”

Good one , we have both schools of thoughts…and I think both are correct as well as incorrect up to certain extent. A person with 2000 followers may also have bots or people just interested in follow back, and person with 25K followers can also have many people genuinely interested in content, who retweet his content….
Still I would say the post is really good

I couldn't have said it any better than Erica has above. It's the relationship that matters. Your person #1 - is building relationships that stick. Your person #2 is focusing on transactional relationships. One is a marriage, the other a one-night stand.Beth Kanters last blog post..Jon Husband, Guest Post: The New Realities of Engagement – Stories That Drive Action Planning and Implementation

This is a topic I talk about A LOT. Numbers meant something once…but the minute people found a way to “Game” the system…the numbers lost their value.

There are people I know on Twitter with less than 1000 followers who are a million times more influential then the spammers with 25K followers. They have built a strong network based on Real Relationships and Common Interests. They have gone for Quality over Quantity. And they have won

This is a breath of fresh air. I can follow 25000 people, but if half of them are bots, what good does it do me? I have been targeting those I follow lately. The results have been much more useful.

Holy Moly! Great article. This is very well articulate and I am glad that we connected via twitter. I really don’t have much to add here besides the fact that your blog should be subscribed by all! Great job. Heading into the archives now!
