By the way, I love the way you’ve branded your Rare Bird site. Beautifully done!

I agree that the number of followers isn’t terribly important. I have over 4,000 followers — a respectable enough number in my mind — but it took over a year to get there, because my goal was not about building the number.

But to some people, that’s an important metric, and that’s perfectly fine. Although I think to some degree we are assessed based on our following/followed numbers, I’d still rather be selective about who is in my Twitter tribe.

“If you have to talk about yourself all the time, you’re probably not that great.”

Love it!

For example: #teamfollowback – Why is this here? What is it’s purpose? To tell everyone you have X amount of followers?
(I hate these with a passion)

I waste my fair share on twitter. But to read a timeline that only says “#follow so-and-so” is an even bigger waste of time.

It’s not fair, but they may decide not to follow you because they don’t know what it is you’re saying in Serbian, and they’re concerned that those tweets aren’t consistent with your English tweets. I’m not sure how you can remedy this as long as you tweet in both languages.

Thanks for your comment. I’m glad you liked my post.

Thanks for commenting.

I’m right with you about quality vs. quantity. And I always steer clear of those who are all about getting you lots of followers. Not the kind of people I’m interested in communicating with.

Thanks for your comment.
