I must say,everyone is raving about twitter and how you can get thousands of people to follow you.

I don't know what all the fuss is about,as said before,how many people really follow 2,000 people.

Just putting your name on a list and say you are following someone,does anyone seriously thinks that people really do?

I know for a fact i don't.

I wish people would grow up and tell the truth!!!.

Mathew, broken record time for me again. Twitter is yet another "cool" tool created by bored tech geeks that the masses are never going to embrace. Not because they don't understand it - because it doesn't add any further value to an already over connected world via e-mail, SMS, IM, cell phones and Facebook.

I've been using it since Mesh 2008 and see value in following about 30-40 people that are relevant to my business (You, Kedrosky, Evans, etc.) but shoot me if I follow 200 people, let alone 2,000.

Still too much emphasis on "cool" and not enough on utility in the Web 2.0 world.

Matthew – I completely agree, following 2,000 tweets is ridiculous. Plus users have to contend with Facebook, LinkedIn, MySpace, etc, etc. to deal with. Sometimes too much, is too much!
