Well if you do it by hand and and rely on such measurements as rt’s and hits on what you post and daily do some weeding and judicious following you can have an impact if you’ve something to say. And there are plenty of people who look for content. Just a matter of finding same.

Within the last 12 hrs BEN STILLER tweeted @RedHourBen on Twitter — “I am a protozoa in the primordial soup of my Twitter evolution.” — despite savvy tech jargon — so are we all —

this “followers numbers” thing just part of a fluid territory — we are all trying to winnow our way through offloading the junk to get at the good stuff.

Helps to remember that a percentage of our human DNA is categorized as “trash” – no longer useful but still lurking in the genome anyway –
