It doesn't take away the responsibility I have to earn their readership again every day.<br /><br />Amassing followers does give me a voice, which I am very grateful for, but it also gives me thousands of people to learn from as well. <br /><br />Or to put it another way, thousands of conversations I can engage in. And after all, isn't social media really all about two-way conversations?<br /><br />CBCharles Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00208117987735139597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037335647686446403.post-58918625371113558952009-08-28T17:57:23.788-07:002009-08-28T17:57:23.788-07:00Thank you Kat, I will definitely check out #idea p...Thank you Kat, I will definitely check out #idea party.Charles Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00208117987735139597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037335647686446403.post-52201763008801618422009-08-28T08:13:25.240-07:002009-08-28T08:13:25.240-07:00I think 20,000 followers is, indeed, significant, ...I think 20,000 followers is, indeed, significant, and here's why: With the exception of a few hundred auto-bots, all of those followers opted-in. They are deliberately signing up to receive your tweets, and the two main reasons for wanting to receive your tweets are a.) wanting to know when you update your blog, and b.) wanting to know your recommendations for articles to read and services to use. Unlike a newspaper columnist who officially has hundreds of thousands of readers but who has no idea if anyone ever glances at his column, you know that 20k people, give or take, have gone out of their way to make sure they hear from you.Angeliquehttp://www.twitter.com/afmarcomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037335647686446403.post-32929964395261049092009-08-27T10:29:58.701-07:002009-08-27T10:29:58.701-07:00Very nice post!

That's why many of my twitter posts are replies to what others have posted and I re-tweet when I find helpful, useful information (or if it just amuses me). I was initially opposed to Twitter when I first heard of it a year ago, but then I discovered an entire community and a quick and easy way to communicate with them. You should check out #ideaparty every Thursday. It's a small but greatly appreciative and helpful group.Kathttp://www.yellowrosegallery.com/blognoreply@blogger.com
