Last week when I wrote about fishing for Twitter followers, I briefly mentioned looking for followers in other people’s streams. This is in fact one of the best methods for building a high-quality following. It’s a slow and laborious process, but I think it pays off in the end.
This can be downright excruciating when looking through the streams of people who have amassed followings that number in the tens of thousands. Many of these have been auto-generated and contain a lot of crap (no offense, but I doubt those people are reading this; only people of quality and intelligence here).
I’ve found the greatest value in the streams of those who share my interests but have considerably smaller numbers, say hundreds or even a few thousand followers. I’ve run across many interesting people working in communications, nonprofits, social media, etc., who are just beginning to connect on Twitter.
Check out the people who are following me to start. I’m confident you’ll find many of them as follow-worthy as I have.
