Ledgard Twitter Race: Subscribe to my tweets
Sure, it's a petty thing, but I've been Mr Gretchen for a long time in some circles. I'd like to prevent that from happening in the Twitter-Verse. You can help prevent this by heading my shameless call to follow me on twitter via http://twitter.com/evolvingwe.
With blogging I started first, Gretchen called me a nerd, and very soon afterwards she was more addicted than I was and eventually way more popular.
The same cycle is starting again in Twitter. I started and she called the "tweet noise" cute with a hint of nerd. Now she's addicted to Twitter and goading me about her cult of followers starting to overtake mine.
Well, here are the current stats:
gledgard: 63 Followers evolvingwe:73
If you have any tips for generating followers quickly I'd love to hear them!

What is Gretchen's Twitter username? I want to follow her as well to even things up. =P

It would be unsportsmanlike for me not to post that link... but I think I'm going to have to sink to that level. I'll saying tracking her down on twitter an exercise left to the reader. I know twitter doesn't make that easy, but your all smart people. :-)

unfollowing evolvingWe, following gledgard...
Just kidding. I wouldn't do that to you. Then again, how much is one follower worth to you?
Have you thought about setting up a referral program and paying per each impression / referral / completed signup?
As for advice on getting followers... don't block the bots!

:-) I'm pretty sure bots make up half of my followers. That's my core audience. Just like my blog... I'm writing for the google crawler.
