Twitter Observation 2

A lot of people on Twitter like to rack up followers without a care who they are or what they are interested in.  Emphasis on numbers and collecting meaningless followers is not what social media is all about.  It is about engegement and conversation.

Sure it is good to know people are following you but isn't it better to know they are following you because they are interested in what you have to say?

The best advice for getting a meaningful follower count is just to do what you do.  If you do that, the "right" people will follow you and in most cases will be worth a follow back.

That is the most sense I can come up with today on this one.  Feel free to expand with comments below.

Twitter Observation 1

Have you ever noticed that the number of people on Twitter claiming to be social media consultants or somesuch similar guff appear to outnumber everyone else?

I'm guessing that most of these people are either very bad at their so called job or just assuming the title because it sounds cool.

No I don't have any numbers to back this up.  I haven't done any research.  I don't care if I'm wrong.
