		<description>Great post, Drew. 

I&#039;ve been on Twitter since 2007. The first few months I was just trying to understand the terminology, how to use the service, how to incorporate into my daily life and to determine if the time investment was a great ROI for my blog.  I came on and immediately nice people like Chris Brogan @chrisbrogan, Darren Rouse @problogger,Peter Shankman @skydiver and Alejandro Reyes @successfool were helpful in giving me not just guidance, but very open and transparent. I appreciated it and so took from their approach and has gained followers. 

Now I must say my aim on Twitter is not to have many followers, but a core following of people who mean a lot to me and I mean a lot to them. I think I have more followers than I am following. Unfortunately that&#039;s because realistically I can keep up with 1500 a little more or less at a time. So the people I follow change. Sometimes I remove following someone who isn&#039;t participating with me and pick up a follower who is.  I like to know that I can follow through and connect with someone more so than having the numbers. 

You have a great blog.
