When social marketing platforms raise the stakes on WIIFM, people show up in hordes to "take advantage" of it. Can’t add much to what’s already been said very well here.

Striving for mass followers for the purpose of making yourself appear to be better than you really are is nothing more than buying an Escalade because your neighbor has a mini-van. Insecure people of the world, unite! And then jump off a cliff. :-) <abbr><em>Clint Miller´s last blog post..<a href="http://www.realestateclientreferrals.com/blogs/?p=20" rel="nofollow">Real Estate Client Referrals Gets Another Endorsement!</a></abbr></em> Oh yeah, one more thing — This is about quality relationships with people.

But, the reality is that this is just BS! Develope your relationships on your own, for Christ's sake. There is no "magic bullet" involved...its not that damn hard. And, if you are that uninteresting that you need this to feel like you are succeeding, get offline. :-) Good article.

It is about relationship building....not popularity contest. I made the mistake of thinking I needed a lot of followers. After using Twitter for a couple of months I see how important it is to communicate, support, cheer others and be resourceful to each and every follower. If you can't what's the point of having them follow and vice versa. <abbr><em>Sabrina Gibson´s last blog post..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/sabrinagibsonblog/xfVS/~3/acmRFLuNw_E/great-business-lessons.html" rel="nofollow">Great Business Lessons...</a></abbr></em> Thank you so much for reminding me it is Quality - Not Quantity.

Once you get them, then what?? Who on earth wants to follow that many conversations anyway? Not me. I do just like you - I check out each new follower when I get those notices and see what they're about. I do not automatically follow every person that follows me - no way. Glad you slept on it and then pressed on with this post! Ann EXCELLENT article - I have often found myself wondering why some people seem to have this need to amass high numbers of followers.
