Absolutely Brilliant!! Could not have said it better!!
I want a relationhship with the people I follow. So I am selective. I value MY time as well as theirs. If I have a billion folks in my twitter stream, then in some way I still have to filter them - which means even if I'm following them I'm still not paying any attention to them!!
I'm for growing my followers and my following organically - finding and interacting with people who are interesting, engaging and who provide value to me.
So if you want me to follow you, give me a good reason...ask me a question, offer some insight, suggest a resource. In short, interact with me so I know WHO you are!!
I say NITCH, but then I also say KELTIK....and I have French, English and Irish heritage - go figure. But then, the US *is* the melting pot, is it not??? Or at least it used to be before everyone became so *&^%*)!! PC about everything. SEESH! or is it SITCH????
