As a relative newbie to Twitter, I can't for the life of me work out why anyone wants to follow/have followers numbered in the thousands, unless of course , you are a business. Whats the point? If you follow 100's/1000's of people, you are never going to be able to read all their tweets. Likewise, if you have 1000's of followers, how are you going to keep track of what they are saying?? I see a lot of people promise to follow back. Wtf is that about? Is it all just a status thing or am I missing something entirely?

People follow me on twitter for the joy of having me on their timeline  You follow those who you have an interest of reading what they post. Your followers are interested on what you have to say. Every time someone follows uou, you get a notification. If you don't and you hit someone's profile and they're following you, it appears the message "follows you" It's a better social network than facebook. |

Yeah, i know what it does but whats the point in having thousands of followers or following 1000's when there is no possible way of keeping up to date with what so many people might be saying. I know you can mute people but again, why allow them to follow you if you can't be arsed following what they are saying? I'm following 130 and have 80 followers but even then I'm struggling to keep up.

Easy. Don't keep track of everything. If they're interested in you, then it's their problem, don't follow back. I've 2.396 followers, follow 449 – most are verified accounts, journos and institutions. I only check what's happening in that minute. It's sort of a talkshow.

I'm not on twitter/instantgramm or facebook and i dont give a shit about it.if there are some important united news i'll get to read them here.
But i'm not interested in what others (including friends) are doing in social networks and i couldnt give a shit about sharing my many smarts nailed into routine with others.

I think that's why they're called social networks |

I have used twitter in the past, and I would definitely agree it's better than Facebook as a social media platform. It's also a great way of getting on the ground information whenever something fairly big kicks off. That said, I rarely ever use it now. I mostly only ever open it via a link someone on here has posted.

Your overestimation of the scousers' chief of spying baffles me, not as much as you not bullying them there. |

I don't bully, can't help it if talking facts makes them bad they do all that themselves anyway. I just highlight it for mere enjoyment. |
