I was quite a late starter for twitter, didn't join til last year, though have tried to engage as much possible particularly over the last 12 months when I really started to converse with people.

I'm pretty sure if I wanted too, I could have more than a 1000 followers on twitter, but would likely have a less engaging following.

Case in point today – I mention its my birthday and get almost 70 messages of goodwill from people that I have invested time into building a relationship with. If I had built 10k of spammy followers would I have had the same level of warmth from people?

I suspect not!

I completely agree with you Pete! It's amazing how many people say “wow! You've have over 1,000 followers! How did you do that?” to me. Honestly there's 2 ways.

1. Have a wide variety of interests (I'd wager at least 200 of them are people NOT associated with marketing/seo/whatever)

2. Be on Twitter since 2007.

Would I consider myself a social media expert? Of course not. Would I be considered one? Maybe….
