Recently technology expert Scott McClellan, editor of Collide and director of Echo, asked people to answer a poll about how they determine who to follow on Twitter. As of 11pm EST on April 7, the responses show that almost all respondents (92%) follow “anyone who might add value.” Interestingly, of the 116 votes cast only 10 were for another option (4 for “only people I actually know,” 3 for “everyone who follows me” and 3 for “as few people as possible.”
So What?
I am one of the 116 who voted for “anyone who might add value.” I imagine most of my readers who tweet are also in that category.
For those who use Twitter:
- How do you determine who has the potential to add value?
- Once you start following someone, what would cause you to consider unfollowing that person?
For those who are not yet a part of Twitter: Why have you been hesitant to register for an account? I was not an early adopter, but am glad to now be involved. I welcome you to read then share your thoughts on a few posts I have written: Reasons to Tweet, 5 Lessons I Have Learned About Tweeting, and My Experiences with Tweeting in Worship.
