homegain: Talking at Cross Purposes on Twitter - 03/19/09 05:12 AM
What do you think of people who have thousands of followers on twitter? Are they connecting better than you?
Do their followers really follow them? Are the mega twitterites getting any business from their prodigious followings?
I recently posted "I agree to talk while you are talking" in an attempt to answer some of these questions.
Please take a look and provide thoughts here or on the HomeGain blog.
