My own little Twitter experiment

Note: I have also written a much more comprehensive post on Twitter followers that can help you even more.
Note: I updated this post in October 2008 to give you an idea of what has happened since I wrote this post.
I’ve been using the Twitter microblogging platform for several months now. It’s a cool quick way to send mini-blog posts into a public timeline of posts while allowing communication with other users.
By chance I happened upon this post about Twitter yesterday, which talked about one blogger’s (BuzzNetworker’s Colleen Coplick) experiment with following a whole lot of Twitter users: about 1000 of them!
So, yesterday I started to follow about 380 Twitter users (I was already following close to 150). So far about 80 of those people have started to follow me in return, which is cool, and I’ve exchanged messages with a few of them.
It’ll be interesting to see if my new Twitter followers will follow me here to my blog - always wanting more visitors to my blog.
EDIT: as of October 31, 2008, I have 1266 Twitter followers, while I am following 1081 Twitterers.
