Just What the Twit Is Going On Here?
I signed up for Twitter a couple of days ago. I'm at www.Twitter.com/JeffBaas.

I figured I ought to find out what it's all about. I signed up to follow a couple of mentors of mine.

What has surprised me since then is how many followers I've picked up. I mean, it's not like a lot of people are actively looking for me online. But I've had nine followers sign up for me in two days.

And I haven't even posted much on there!

Chances are, most of them are other marketers looking for people to broadcast self-promotional announcements to. Two of my new followers seem to broadcast a lot of messages encouraging people to come to their site and buy some tool that "guarantees you a cascade of followers on Twitter." Hmmm...

I think I'll follow these new followers for a while, though, to get a feel for Twitter. Chances are I'll get to see some things NOT to do on Twitter. And, just maybe, I'll find some fellow marketers that I'll enjoy following.
Jeff
