[...] Whereas successful community-building used to be about getting followers, the realization is dawning that big numbers do not guarantee mindshare. Thanks to myriads of mass follow tools available, the power of an immense following has diminished. (Some industry thought leaders have even wondered aloud if Twitter should abolish follower count altogether.) [...]

Well I Almost was the Millionth Follower on Twitter…

Last night was a first as it goes with firsts on Twitter as Ashton Kutcher becomes the first person to get 1 million followers. Although that doesn’t mean a lot to many people but it was interesting in that he was offering to help out a good cause…
