I agree with you about real and fake followers. I recently searched for Seth Godin on Twitter. He is not there. Just his RSS. What does that tell us? BTW, I am your real Twitter follower, 1galla.

You had me concerned at “looking for ways to monetize” and that tells me you just don’t get it.
I’m an affiliate marketer with a $2m PA business and I wouldn’t dream of trying to monetize Twitter, that’s not what its about.
What we’re seeing is the move from Twitter as a fad to twitter (or whatever application takes it’s place) as immediate communication that bypasses the traditional news cycles and to a certain extent has it’s finger on the pulse.
It’s about building reputation and trust, it’s a two way conversation and unless you’re tweeting something of value you will probably not achieve much of a reputation, in face you will undermine it. The customers come later and outside of that medium.
The sooner we get past the affiliate marketers trying to monetize twitter phase the better.

I have notice that I get followers specific to my most recent posts. I think that more people are using the search feature in Twitter to find content that is relevant to them. Is Twitter becoming a social search engine? Interesting….

Yeah… inflated Twitter numbers…

I thought something was quite unrealistic when
seeing all these followers on some of the Twitter pages. Oprah I can understand, but how does Joe Blow also end up with 30,000 followers???
Now I don’t feel bad with my 90 some followers instead
of having 90,000 !

Another thing I don’t get about Twitter is the string of conversational tidbits that litter a page… Most of the time it makes no sense to break in on such small conversational bites.
It’s like looking in on a badly edited telephone transcript.

Overall, to me Twitter seems like the world’s biggest small talk blog machine running.
So I’m looking forward to what’s coming in Gauher’s new report that’ll show us some new concepts on ways to monetize Twitter.

Hiya Gauher.

Yes…. 20,000+ followers can be managed easily. Here’s the
trick to do it.

You can auto-follow every single person that follows you
(to keep your numbers high). But you do NOT manage your
twitter relationships with the twitter interface…. you do it
with a piece of software called “Seesmic desktop” (it’s free).

This tool allows you to make lists and display each list in a
separate column. You can make a list to keep tabs on your
close friends.

You can also create a list where tweets from people who
are addressing you directly will appear. And so on, and
so forth… it’s a very powerful tool. =)

By the way… if you liked the tip, follow me back on twitter:

A business man might have but a handful of things to sell, and yet has a life full of other interests about which he has something intelligent to share. In the process he becomes like-able and trustworthy. He becomes someone worth recommending and possibly doing business with.

Twitter is about letting people know who you are, rather than what you have to sell.

For example, 50 million Americans invest for their retirement via a 401(k). Some of these folks use twitter. The vast majority have interests way outside the scope of investing. However, would the vast majority wish to know why the greatest financial collapse in the history of the world presently is unfolding and what they should do about it to protect their savings? Chances are good they do, despite this specific matter neither being their primary interest nor what they tweet about.

Get it?
