What kind of Twitterer are you?
Today, @RyanHealy asked:
If somebody isn’t following back, does that influence whether you unfollow them or not?
My first reaction was, “no, I follow people to read their tweets, not for the follow back.” I’ve always felt that unfollowing someone just because they don’t follow you back proves that you were lying [...]

Ok, so Twitter is about to hit 2 BILLION tweets a month.
BUT, with all of those tweets, is your message getting lost in the masses?

This seems like a bad move to me.
Stan Schroeder quotes John Mayer saying:
I had 3.3 million Twitter followers back in March April when I announced that I’d be predominantly posting on Tumblr, a site that takes all of 25 seconds to sign up for. Five months later I have just passed 50,000 followers, a fraction [...]

Twitter is about to become a major multimedia destination, thanks to some new partners and features.

Internet marketers are infamous for pushing the envelope on what customers will tolerate. On social networking sites like Twitter, pushing too hard can get you unfollowed in a flash.

Even, though, my follower count has risen, the response to my tweets has been on a steady decline. The reason is simple… There’s just more and more noise on Twitter. People are following so many [...]

CNN has a story today about recent phishing attacks aimed at Twitter. One former Fauxlowers member whose Twitter account appears to have been compromised (Twitter shut her down temporarily) tweeted claiming Fauxlowers was to blame. I’m not going to complain, criticize or name names — when you get hacked, it’s not always clear who did [...]

I’ve added a few stats to your Fauxlowers.com profiles that you might find interesting. Some are numbers that you could have calculated yourself based on other numbers shown on your profile, but the change will make it easier to see what’s going on without any mental gymnastics.
The first is your follower to friend ratio. The [...]

Thanks to everyone who responded to yesterday’s survey! I collected a bunch of responses and created the second survey that I promised. This one asks you to rate how likely you are to unfollow someone on Twitter based on various things like whether they follow you back, the content and volume of their tweets, etc.
It’s [...]

If you have about 45 seconds available, please complete this 1 question survey about why you would unfollow someone on Twitter Update: the original survey is closed. If you have…well, more than 45 seconds available, please take the survey created from the results of the first survey. Thanks!
For this survey, I’m asking you to type [...]
