I just joined Twitter this past month and only have 19 followers. I'm trying to increase that number. If anyone would like to follow me on Twitter, I'll return the favor. My Twitter username is: Beautyqueen26 Now back to my question. How many followers do you have on Twitter? For me, I like to follow friends on Twitter and also there are some really good Twitter users with great info that I like to know. Sometimes, people post links to funny pics and videos. I like to follow those Twitter users too. What's your criteria for 'following' someone on Twitter?

Hi beauty, I am not on a twitter but I am o Facebook, I just can't get the hang of all this craze that is going with so many sites, I have three famous people on my Facebook and old friends as well as mylot friends on there so I don't think I will follow twitter or anything else in the near future as I am kept busy and there is not enough time in a day, keep twittig.

Thanks for your comments Tamara. Twitter is a new experience that differs from some of the other social networking sites. It's a great way to keep up with friends as they go about their daily lives. People post all kinds of fun stuff. And when you link up with friends online; people you know from your regular life you can keep track of them better. I think you can even do Twitter from your phone. Say if you are going to be late for dinner, you could 'Tweet' and then everyone at the house would know not to expect you till a certain time. That would be quicker than making a cell phone call.

I started on Twitter last month and I have 22 followers. I have 25 people following me. I actually had to stop following some people because they were driving me crazy with the stuff they were Tweeting. It was just really odd stuff that I really didn't want to read every 20 seconds because that was about the amount of time they paused between tweets. I like following someone that doesn't promote themselves every two minutes and doesn't tweet every 30 seconds. I need a bit more substance.

Yep! Been there. I have some creepy guy that was trying to follow me and the only thing he does is promote Britney p0rn videos. How dumb is that!

I had a string of people trying to follow me for quite awhile that were all about it and kept trying to get me to add them so they could promote some naughty website. It took several days for them to be caught and to stop from adding me.

Those types of spammers are the worst. Noone really wants what they are selling, but they don't ever seem to get the idea. Ya know?

I don't have twitter - is it a social site similar to Facebook? If it's a good site, I may have to join. Can you please tell me more about it - I have heard of it but have never bothered to investigate.

It's a free to join social networking site where you share your favorite links and bits from your day. Just type in what you are doing or what you are watching/reading etc. and share with the world. Or, do what I do and share links to your articles. That works too. Best of luck with the site. Let me know your Twitter profile name and I'll be sure to follow. http://twitter.com/Beautyqueen26

I am very new on Twitter and have only 1 follower. I have signed up on it but don't really understand the use of it. All I can make out is people use it as a marketing tool and market everything right from their personal blogsites right upto outright sales of products. I would like to know what exactly do you use Twitter for?

I have 349 followers. I just gained 39 follower in the last 2 days which is not bad. I would like to gain more tho. I use Twitter mostly for business and learning but I follow people that can add something to my life such as teaching me something, provide me with resources, can answer questions I may have, or people that does work that is similar to mine. I help others as well.

I have only 50 followers. My user name is K466. Unfortunately, it does not show up in the Twitter search for some reason, so you may have trouble finding it if you look for it. My criteria: First, they must be posting stuff that I'm interested in; and second, I don't want to see too many updates in a short period of time, as I don't want my time line to be flooded.

Hi, I hope you don't mind me responding! I see your using twitter for the same reason I thought of doing so. To promote links and get some great advice, and give some great advice! If I do decide to get on twitter, I'll add you up. I've heard it's hard to navigate through the site, But I'll have to check it out. I think my criteria would have to be fun, something I could read through, oh and ofcourse helping others out in anyway I could! In any case, Happy Twittering, and I'll see ya around the net!

Hi there beauty queen. I have 2 followers that i don't know, and i won't ask for your friendship as i don't really like twitter. My girlfriends has a few hundred friends there but she also stopped using it, as she also noticed she doesn't really like it very much. Anyway enjoy it and happy posting here (and there :P )

I had several followers my first month I joined Twitter. But my Twitter screwed up and SOMEHOW everything I had, followers, followees, and all my updates vanished. There was no reason for this to happen. It just...happened. Now I just looked and all of them are back. Mind you the above was for several days. But at the moment it seems....I have five followers on Twitter. Hopefully it stays this way lol. Here's my Twitter: http://twitter.com/DarthJustice

i have more than 200 followers there... i have very few friends that i follow on twitter. and yes there are some twitters that have good quotes, good info, etc, i follow them too. i dont usually start following people, what i do is i follow those who follow me first. i used to logged on there daily, but now i get too busy sometimes that i update only once in a while there. most of my followers that i follow are those that are into online earning, sometimes when i make update about something, i get a few people following me because of that, like i made an update about planting tomatoes, after that i have 2 people following me with the same interest, gardening. then i updated about online gaming, then i have gained many followers on that too. those people that follow me, i follow them back.
