You make some very good points Olivier. I agree. I personally approach it as outlined here: http://marketingwizdom.com/twitter

I think that the best way to act is to avoid following yourself people just to follow them. It is logical to follow accounts that interest you. I like to look at the following/ followers ration because it shows people who only follow in order to be followed. At that point, I agree that they could spend more time interacting with their followers. In other words, better have a rich conversation with few than nothing with 10,000 people.

Great job!

It’s pretty easy to focus in on those who are advocates among your followers. There are numerous tools available to check who interacts with you; who retweets your messages etc. Just set up twitter lists for people in each of these categories then focus your interactions mainly on these self-selecting followers and rebuild your network around them. You can also have a big clean out and unfollow everyone who is not on one of those quality lists, there are numerous tools that allow you to do so.

So what do you tell the person reading your post who has generated a lot of likely faux followers to do now to mograte to that quality of followership? What do they do now?

You don’t have to be Seth Godin or to even read his words to know that quality is better than quantity any day. That really is schoolboy stuff.

As for the sentiment “just do more viral” that’s really easier said than done. I know the focus is narrowed to twitter here, but who constantly and regularly tweets viral content? Isn’t viral supposed to be viral in its own context rather than viral because of the status and reputation of the source?
