Why are people so bothered about how many followers they have on Twitter?
It doesn't make u a better person just cos u have a few more followers than someone else, u don't win any kind of prize for being the highest! I would rather have less followers, who I actually know, than 1000's of followers who don't even have a clue who I am and just wanna be noisy at what I'm doing at all points of the day. Hence the reason I went thru and removed nearly 300 of my followers a couple of weeks back.
Then it brings me to people who follow u, then demand u follow them back or they will unfollow you! If I didn't follow u straight away then it probably means I don't care to follow u, therefore u unfollowing would really not matter to me at all. I follow people because I like them, or like what they tweet. I had someone ask me to follow them once and when I went onto their page the only thing they ever tweeted was asking people to follow them! Why would I want to follow someone who just tweets that?!?! I want people in my timeline to be interesting and entertaining, not begging for followers! I also don't see the point in #ff! If u wanna see if someone has twitter then search them. How many people can honestly say they follow people on a regular basis because of a #ff? It just fills up everyone's time line's and I'm sure I'm not the only one who just yawns and scrolls straight past them without a second glance!
My other pet hate with followers is people who follow someone just because their favourite celebrity told them to. Do u even know who that person you're following is? Would u stick your head in the oven if ur fav celeb told u to? Half the time I'm guessing people don't and wouldn't, what do u think it will achieve? An invitation round to the celeb who asked you to follows house for tea and scones? Yea it's not gonna happen. I also think of how the person who you have followed must feel? Why would u want a bunch of people who've never heard of u and are someone else's fans following u? And most probably tweeting u about the celebrity!
People need to chill out and stop using twitter like it's a competition! Who cares if u've got 100's more followers than me, who cares if the entire cast of The Only Way Is Essex follows u! In most examples being followed by someone famous/in the lime light makes no difference to how often they tweet u back. All it basically means is that they may just get to read the shit u tweet the same as all the regular people who choose to follow you!
And as always: if u don't like what I tweet or blog then feel free to unfollow and don't click the link for my blog! Simples! ;)
