Thank you for writing it. I'm fairly new on twitter but decided early on that I wasn't going to follow my followers, I worked this out because 2 of my first 4 followers appeared to be spammers. Instead I have a quick look at anyone who follows me and if they are saying things that interest me I'll follow otherwise move on. Since then I have looked on with amazement at people who claim to be following 1,000+ others ... obviously they simply aren't reading their accounts they purport to follow. Tonight I noticed that two people who should know twitter very well @ev (C.E.O.) & @biz (Co founder) have highly asynchronous following/follower ratios of 908/1,176,614 and 296/1,438,651 respectively.

You make an excellent point – that social media is changing at such a pace that it’s essential to review how you use it on a regular basis.

I remember when Robert promoted 'turning up the noise'. I did it in one Twitter account (just to see) and also on Friendfeed. At the time, there's no disputing he was right. With the recent wave of spam and wacky authority apps, it is once again time to realize the difference between productivity, fun ... and / or ... just a time suck. Good piece.

I've asking even in twitter that what is the chance do I have to be listened by a person who is following more than a three thousand users. Now it's time to research to find wheres the people who have something of value to say and share, and find people who really wants to listen what I have to say. Regards. Thanks Jim I totally agree.
