WRONG... check out my article, "Quick Free Tip on How to Get Followers on Twitter Fast!", it specifically mentions a use for TwitterPoster on how newcomers can get targeted followers quickly. Please mention me as thinking outside the box. In fact, you might be able to use me around here.

The Twitter Poster…

This was posted on Techncrunch the other day and has now made me very interested in Twitter again after initially thinking WTF about it. The only reason though is to get on the UK version of the Twitter Poster.
As stated below there doesn’t seem …

Hello everybody, I am Alfonso Borondo of Comenclick Networks, the company behind twitterposter. I just wanted to say that the only secret to appear in local versions of the USA, Australia or anyone, is that the user Twitter has specified the country from which he writes.

The purpose of the project is simply that you see, do something fun and visual record of the relevance of the people who publishes in twitter.
Greetings to all

Alfonso Borondo

“Seems to me it might be a metric for size of audience and like RSS subscribers it comes down to how many of those followers who are actually listening.”

I use twitter to keep in touch with real friends via SMS — but with Facebook Mobile adding a lot of SMS features, not sure how much longer I will be using it.

I’m hoping this “15-pixels-of-fame”-wave expires pretty clickin’ soon. Can’t wait for people to resume living offline… using the Internet to stimulate, not validate.

@8 “having more followers does not equate to anything.”

To summarize Duncan’s fine posts:

1. Here’s a Microsoft Zune ad that is trippy, but doesn’t work.
2. Here’s a Twitter poster that has no value.

Good journalism, Duncan.

As fonzie said yesterday, you’ve jumped the shark.
You’re easily on minute number 30 of your 15 minutes of fame. Time to step down.

For me, it shows just how few people in Australia use Twitter. The last five contacts on the poster as I look at it now have *no* followers. I appear about a third of the way up, and I’m a fairly new user with only 14 followers. Though I suspect they’re only showing people who’ve twittered (tweeted?) fairly recently.

I actually found this to be a relatively insightful graphical representation of the world of twitter. Surprised that it only took about 315 followers to be one of the most “influential” twitterers. It would be interesting to know what percentage of twitter users are following this group and how many you would need to represent 80% o twitter users.

I liked it but probably just because I’m on it. My guess is that people who are on it like it and people who aren’t on it… well.

The idea seems completely useless. As you said though, it does make a pretty picture. Plus, I can’t image why the blue bird and half a head are so popular. Although I do like the kool-aid man.

I guess it can turn into a fun game of “where’s Waldo?”, where you can substiture Waldo for the person of your choice.

Ego booster — that’s what it is. Like #8 said, big following doesn’t really mean much. Someone today said in twitter that the quality of the following has more value than the amount of following — i tend to agree fully.
