Interesting tidbit. I’ve been on Twitter as @mapanui for a while now, only having 6 followers of which 4 were, euh, me… So nothing much happened, as you can expect. Then yesterday I decided to go to some people’s following lists, see who would be interesting, and started following them, again on @mapanui, just to spread some more Mapanui love (well, it’s just some basic marketing actually:).
Now, the interesting fact is, I get more people following me, who I wasn’t following myself. Lots of “entrepreneurial” types it seems, people who are already following lots of others, but not necessarily the people I was targeting. I was rather looking for users, regular folk, like you and me.
