In other words, I follow people who demonstrate that they write interesting content.

As a longtime writer, I thought it might be fun to use my short stories and even my five published science-fiction books (yes, I do have the rights back), and post them one at a time, bit by bit, on Twitter, because people seem to love stories.

Does anyone think that would be a good idea?

I'd love to have everyone's feedback, and I thank you in advance.

Do followers really matter these days? I would think it's impossible to actually communicate if you're in excess of 1,000 users, even if you made Twitter a full-time job.

These days you could easily obtain that many followers by just looking for company sponsored handles. Don't expect much communication outside of their typical postings.

I think its what you tweet, & how diverse your tweets can be that is important,to an extent profiles can be miss leading in as much as it is a small measure of the users potential in acquiring followers,any body can get followers through various tools available,but to get them just by tweeting is surely greater satisfaction to the user,after all that's whats twitters all about.Yours Lyndon Sullivan, @lindano on Twitter.

This is a really interesting issue: but I agree with some of the comments where they ask for guidance on what makes you followable.

Fuck, now I'm blushing...I"m a "WRITER" as in for currency of the realm, so I've got this pain in the ass credo that I should be the dream and memorialize the inspiritation that OTHERS have let me have, in my all too dismal attempt to use my first language, and not charge me, for the priviledege. A few more years and I'll be a cunning...linguist, LOL. Memorializing me would cost somewhere down the line. And I don't like invoices...(little joke; getit...inner voices) Belief is a hard formula...However we're all only as good as our best day. I just call em intensitys & repetitions using the whole celestial mess! I /We only can communicate an make our dreams actuated for experiencing in three ways .Speaking, Body Language, and writing or drawing. Other than that , we're trapped. So I believe communication, & focused,... at that is the only to experience our idea of the "E" ride here. No matter what it is we have to see, "then own it". then laugh or cry about it , and all in a blink of celestial machinery. And I'm sloe on the uptake, much to my chaGRIN. Best, Brian

I agree. I screen my followers. If they have lots of people they follow but little or no content, I block them. If they just want to advertise adult content or get-rich-quick stuff, I block them. If they don't tweet in English, I run their page through a translation service. Again, if they meet the above, I block them. My twitter account is for business purposes; I'm trying to build a good rep. That's why I use my real name. So I only follow people whose profiles mention topics of serious interest to me and am careful who I accept as a follower. @GuyKawasaki recomments we follow everyone who follows us, out of courtesy. That's ok, in principle, but I'm not there yet. Another tweet recommended we drop our follows if we aren't followed back, or we would find ourselves hitting a follow/followers limit. Again ok, however, there are many that I am following where I don't expect or mind if they don't follow me in return. So I've started a daily routine where I review one or more pages of accounts I follow, specifically for those who have not followed me back, to ensure their content is worthy of continuing to follow. I'm starting with the oldest follows and working my way forward, thus giving the oldest ones a generous amount of time to decide to follow me back. I'm trying to tighten up the quality of those I follow, as well as those who follow me. This also serves targeting purposes. Once my new website is launched, I'd like to be able to tweet updates, and get the majority of my followers to hit my site when I do so. I'm not just trying to make some money through my website but to grassroots significant information towards disease management and treatments through diet, vitamins, minerals, herbs, and other supplements, and alternative medicine instead of prescriptions. It will also serve to relate my own own trials and errors in management of my own disorders, specifically Diabetes, Arthritis, and Fibromyalgia Pain Syndrome.

Which is great sometimes but sometimes i want to say tweet things but then i'm like for what i'm going to be the only one reading this. Thanks for the help tho def going to put more substance in my tweets from now on.

When I catch an interesting tweet what I do is check the profile and see if the person falls into our radar of interests. If so, we go down the first page to find at least one relevant tweet. This is what make us take a step forward.

Great post and a challenge question Corvida!

Good question and I could use some honest advice from anyone who reads this. I've thought many times about changing my bio. It currently features a quote, which says a lot about me, but could also be misinterpreted. Because of this, I list none of my interests, which other like minded people could find me by. My link goes to my friendfeed stream, and it definitely says something about me. I use it on all my profiles for just that reason. I can't think of a better way to introduce myself than to share an aggregate of all my activities online. Because of this, I think it should stay, but the quote is open for debate. Any thoughts on this would be helpful. I can be found at http://twitter.com/michaelf...

I totally agree, I want to know the people I'm following, I try to read their blogs, or websites and talk to them when I get a chance, I don't want a big number of people, around 300 is the limit for me.

140 character bio is short, and usually stuffed with keywords, but some people manage to be interesting.

Do I give a rat's ass if I'm followed by people I don't know? I think not.

@Balaji:
I'm suspicious of bots - some statistical analysis might identify people who *might* be worth following, but it really needs a human being to make the final decision.

And bots tend to be overused by the bad guys who's scattershot approach doesn't take account of context, and don't care how many people they manage to piss off - you mention the word "franchise" in connection with a link to a news item about British railway companies and you immediately get a swarm of followers peddling MLM crap.
