I remember almost 30 years ago when my parents would take me to see my mom's relatives in Alturas California that it seemed that everyone owned a CB Radio Alturas was a bit remote and a rancher community for the most part and everyone had these big long antennas on their automobiles that would allow anyone to talk to anyone else who would be willing to respond to them.
Information could be passed back and forth between a couple of people and unless you changed the channel to a less busy frequency there was a good chance that there were a lot of people listening to the conversation.
Earlier today I had someone follow me on Twitter. I hadn't used Twitter for at least six months but every couple of weeks someone else would follow me on Twitter. Well I decided to really get into Twitter. I tried out the Twitter plug-in for Google Desktop but it wouldn't allow me to post and then I downloaded and installed TweetDeck. Now this is a cool piece of code. It divides up all the conversations in such a way that it can be meaningful to read the Tweets coming in and it provides a lot of tools as well.
Well upon my announcement that I was going to get involved with Twitter in a Twitter post one of my followers posted a note that ultimately got me a bunch of new followers on Twitter as well. Well from there I decided that I needed to follow a few more RE voices and have since added a few more and interestingly enough many of those same people have decided to follow me as well.
What's the upside to all this? Well I now have a bit of a new audience. I can see how expanding this audience over time could really be a leverage point in some of the different ventures that I'm involved in so it seems that the goal may be to grow my Twitter network so ultimately when I have something to say there are a lot of people listening.
