I'd much rather be followed by someone who's interested in me, whether my stories or myself, than someone who culled my name off a list and is building numbers. I follow back anyone who seems genuine. The first thing I do when I see a new "follower" is check how many people they follow and what their conversations look like. If they follow thousands of people and their tweets consist of promoting their books/albums/shows, then I don't follow back. They inevitably drop me a few days later. I spend only so much time on Twitter, and I would rather keep up with interesting people, rather than read a bunch of ads. And, yes, you're interesting. :DTali Spencerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01580510151991448014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167020347268163535.post-7004628044789857582012-07-24T12:07:01.383+01:002012-07-24T12:07:01.383+01:00I like the followers I have and the people who fol...I like the followers I have and the people who follow me. They're an eclectic bunch from homeopathic practitioners to someone who takes beautiful pictures of blow jobs. Lots of writers in there too. I hate the ones who are just pushing their books but so many are witty kind and helpful. If I don't follow then I'll never know which kind they are :) And once I follow I don't have the heart to unfollow. Who knows they might just be a little slow in the friend stakes. <br /><br />I hold true to my original premise though. I like it personal and I don't think acquiring thousands of followers in one fell swoop does any good. I like the personal touch (okay the more personal touch :) ) I have to consider publicity as well but it comes in secondNephy's Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12677130973931453911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167020347268163535.post-17267959499892949812012-07-24T07:33:28.446+01:002012-07-24T07:33:28.446+01:00I think you follow too many people already.

Plus there is that god awful Triberr that authors sign up for, sucking even more genuine connection out of twitter. I only follow ppl back that communicate with me directly anymore. I could give a shit about them hitting me back. I want connections, not o be spammed with "buy my book".Michael Offutt, Phantom Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557969104886174930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167020347268163535.post-6960645119469904402012-07-23T12:01:12.474+01:002012-07-23T12:01:12.474+01:00yeah having loads of followers is overrated imo th...yeah having loads of followers is overrated imo these days I followback authors that follow me or people who say they read but i ignore everybody else cause I know there is no point other than saying wow look at me I've loads of followersD.S.Taylorhttp://www.dstaylor.menoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167020347268163535.post-29851080932961847492012-07-22T20:28:23.154+01:002012-07-22T20:28:23.154+01:00Nephy, when you reach the magic number of 20,000 b...Nephy, when you reach the magic number of 20,000 blog followers, you achieve instant fame, wealth and success as an erotica writer and can choose to retire to a villa in the south of France if you wish.Cliffgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13190642812066785364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167020347268163535.post-35452571948033694462012-07-22T15:44:21.210+01:002012-07-22T15:44:21.210+01:00Yes, but would it if you were one of 5000 'bou...Yes, but would it if you were one of 5000 'bought' so to speak. Don't get me wrong. I love followers and it makes me incredibly excited every time I get a new one, but I like to get them a few at a time so I have a chance to visit everyone's blogs and find the ones I love... like yours :)Nephy's Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12677130973931453911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167020347268163535.post-20084936800679017492012-07-22T15:07:26.111+01:002012-07-22T15:07:26.111+01:00Well, being a follower got me to your blog!Well, being a follower got me to your blog!Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03158978490041796686noreply@blogger.com
