Hey Ari,

Glad you are giggling and thanks for stopping in – while I agree with you that it isn’t just the quality/quantity of the people following you on Twitter, I would be hesitant to compare one’s Twitter influence with a rock band. For the most part, a famous rock band will have people asking them for autographs in the street – wouldn’t say the same for being Internet famous

Giggling at Laura and Brian, you prove the nonsense of the cartoon. I’d argue your following is irrelevant to those you follow. A rock band does not play for its groupies; a band plays for those who pay money to hear them play in venues their manager picks.

Interesting post sir, but isn’t this trend(constant change/evolution) an inherent characteristic of the net in general?

@Laura: totally agree. There are too many Twitter traffic secret spam services that will not get you the influence that you are looking for.

The number of followers does not guarantee the level of influence. It’s the quality of your followers that determines the influence.

I love the post, but it begs the question if “x” social behaviour multiplies, its social value approaches zero, the what happens when behaving differently becomes x?

There is certainly a greater need for organizations to develop unique programs that are not reliant on the best practices of other companies. And that is why, this post works as something to keep in mind that the first rule is that there are no rules.

Best,
Rich

Great post atomicpoet – enjoyed the example of LiveJournal. You could make a similar case in the early times of the microblogging war:
1 – Google and Jaiku – lol, though it was a good platform
2 – Pownce – hmm, how about we opt for Digg instead, though the beta to public seems like the same feeling I got about LiveJournal.

And let’s not forget Geocities.
