Lame. I am now recovering from this misleading advice. I now try and publish original thoughts to my blog and actually start conversations with people that I find interesting. Sometimes these people follow me, sometimes they don't, but the conversations are usually still very interesting - and isn't that what it's all about anyway?

In the end Twitter is a great tool..you just have to know how to use it Live long and prosper is not just for Vulcans.

No internet fame to speak of so I am trying to build up followers by initiating conversations :) I must admit that when I first started out I tried using #6, only to discover that it just lead me to useless followers and other marketers.

Thanks! I'm new on twitter and get same people following, but not interacting at all. Or some mad people just sending me spam. Crazy! :) Great and very true post. Thanks!

If you do you can be sure you'll get lots of junk mail. TWIMC, I get new follows after my every update, but I only follow those that mean something to me personally. :-) I believe there’s a 7th reason you get new followers: They want to sell you something. and hope you’ll follow them in return.

I don't know which technique works because I do a few of them. All FREE! Speaking of techniques those that use Twitter Traffic Machine irk me the most but also puzzle me. Either the vendors are making a lot of money or people are finding it on Clickbank and promoting it and the vendors are not making money but it's hard to believe that the afilliate marketers are making anything because the twitter ads for this product have saturated the timeline.

Nothing wrong with Twitterfollower.com. You don't have to put your name on the list and Twitterfollower doesn't spam you, someone who follows you spams you. It's up to you to vet your followers for spammers. If you want to follow everyone who follows you then why not, it's free. Tweet Later has an auto follow function, does that make it a twitter spammer. BTW, the only way you see spam is if you use the web interface. Use a 3rd party app like TweetDeck or Seesmic Desktop to filter who you actually see in your list. I have 800+ followers, but don't follow all of them in Seesmic desktop. Do you think Darren watches all the updates of all the people he follows? Please get real. So, this blog post was completely a non post with no value. Nothing wrong with Twitterfollower.com.
