I sure have been talking alot about Twitter lately, guess I am in the Buzz myself?

I don’t follow my followers as much as I should, but do check out the updates when I can. One of the reasons I don’t, besides the time sucking factor, is because of all the noise.

Granted the idea is to let every one know what your doing at a given point in time, I understand and accept that, but to be honest, I really don’t care who is the latest person to follow you. Am I the only one? I mean really, who cares?

I believe it was today when I hit my home page and it was almost totally filled just with users welcoming their new followers. Why? Where is the value in that? I’d rather hear what you had for Christmas dinner.

Granted, I’ve seen some great tweats, but far to many people are just creating noise. Once again, I don’t care who your latest follower is.

Am I missing something?

We all know how hot Twitter is right now, so hot in fact that people will follow anyone and anything.

It never ceases to amaze me, how many followers I get (they are following me in hopes I’ll follow them), that have no updates and no profile.

Now, I realize, many folks just want to build a following, so they take on every new comer, often on automatic. It’s almost like it’s a game or a status symbol. I can understand that.

Though I don’t understand why I should or why I would want to follow some one with nothing? No tweets, no profile, no follow. Why would I? There is nothing to follow!

Well unless I want a bigger number on my own Twitter profile. Guess I am odd, there needs to be something in the pot, before I dig in.

If you want a long list of followers, give them something to follow. Just might make a difference.

So the kids and I are at the local Hastings, I knew they wouldn’t leave me alone till they could spend their Christmas money. Almost as bad as Christmas eve! If you’ve never heard of Hastings, they are a bookstore slash electronics, music and video store, little of everything.

While the kids are quickly eliminating the balances of their gift cards, I’m browsing the magazine racks for something to peak my interest. I naturally pass by the computer magazines, geek time, then it hits me. I’ve seen them before, but never thought about it.

I’m talking about those computer magazines that come with a CD attached firmly to the cover. I don’t know if you’ve seen these, but they go for like $15 a pop! The magazine would usually set you back about 5 bucks, but since they come married with a CD full of related software, they up the ante.

Think about that for a minute, triple the price by adding a CD that probably has a net cost to the company of a quarter, if that. Not a bad profit increase if you ask me. Sure the CD comes with software, but I can almost bet it’s either shareware or begotten free from software companies looking to grab new customers.

What could you add to your product(s) to increase the price? Maybe a low cost addition that could double or triple your selling price?

If your looking for ideas, check out my Warrior Special Offer, it comes with “Profits Multiplied”, over 50 ways to double and triple the value and price of your products.

The magazines are doing it, why not you?

Big milestone today, actually I think it was yesterday, I finally peaked over the Twitter limit of 2,000. It took me a while, but I also did not hit it as hard as some Twitter users do.

One thing I did notice, as I took it a little slower than most, I also gained more followers, than I was following, helps to get over the limit.

I am still yet to be convinced that Twitter is a good sales tool. Seems to me it’s more of a relationship builder, as I’ve noticed low results when trying to outright sell something. I’ve had better luck getting followers to read my blog posts.

Any one else find it a selling tool? I’ve heard stories of it bringing in some sales, but I’m not hooked yet.

The last question.. are you over the 2,000 hump?

Some time back I signed up with Qwitter, the service that alerts you when a follower stops following you. Thing is, I can’t remember the last time I received an alert.

Did Quitter quit on me?

Any one else notice the lack of alerts?

Course, to be honest, I find it easier just to go through my list where I can see who’s following me just as easy, so not like I’ve really missed the service.
