There are many talks about twitter following, and ethical or inethical about being followed and we should follow back. Everyone entitled to their opinion, but for me, anyone who follow me , I will follow back them showing my respect to them who likes to follow me.
For me, those who are not following back when they are followed are simply arrogant and think they are just too famous to be bothered to follow back. Another thing, is just like a gesture, I am waving to you, but you are not waving back just make me feel they don’t bother.
So, for those who wants to find someone to follow and be follow back, I am available. Infact, majority of the people who are following me will follow back. Click follow me image at the right side of this article to follow me.
Sorry for those whom I might have insulted you regarding your opinion on following back.

I just happened to stumbled upon this method which is doing very well for me to get people to follow back my twitter friend request. Actually it is very simple.
What I do was, I goto the twitter and click ‘Find People’, in the search box, I key in ‘follow back’ . By keying this phrase, I actually looking for someone who is promising to follow back. They will follow you back and you are guaranteed to have more followers.
I keep tweaking this method, to include other phrase like ‘autofollow’, ‘back follow’, ‘return follow’, and I’m still figuring out all the other phrase.
I also suddenly stumbled another idea. Since people who are using autofollow tools, the they will automatically add me in if I add them on my list.
The trick is how to find this kind of people who are using the tools? I got the answer and it’s very simple. Identify what tool name that is doing this. With that name, goto find people and look for the toolname. When you found it, go inside and look at the followers.
Just follow all the followers and you will automatically gain a lot of followers in no time.

After I have done the twitter microblog for awhile, I realised that many users in twitter are not real human. What I mean is most of the people I follow will have some kind of mechanism to auto follow me back, then it will send an auto direct message to me in a form of greeting.
Sometimes I feel bad about this, as it’s so unnatural and many just try to get as many followers as possible disregard if there are real people. Even if you have many followers, what good it can get if it’s automated bot.
But still there are other goods in twitter like getting the latest information and news. But I hope to real genuine people to microblog with and share opinions.

Just yesterday, I was checking on my twitter and I noticed, they have come out with a new feature called Twitter List. So what is this new feature is all about? How can it help us?
I have tried out to create 2 lists. One is for my favorite F1 team BrawnGP and another one is for my favorite soccer team LiverpoolFC. Here, I can group all my friends into 2 groups. One that always talk about BrawnGP and another always talk about LiverpoolFC. Cool, I feel it is very useful that, I go to the list when I want to talk about a certain interest.
Whenever you search for people or looking for the list of people, you will notice a button at the right with the list dropdown and you can check the checkbox of the group you want to tag that.
Another thing I noticed was that I can just add people to the list without needing to follow them. Wow, this is good because not everytime you will want to follow people because of certain interest that maybe you just want for a short period.
One more thing is, other people can see your group (depends on the setting of public during list creation), and they can build from your list which is very helpful to your followers and those searching you.
That’s about it, very useful feature, twitter is getting better and better.

Infact, nowadays, twitter is so common as a simple tool for communication. It only allow 140 characters to post at one go. It’s short messages coupled with the powerful following system make it extremely viral. You can tweet all night and day long, just as whatever you can think of, you just write it down and share with your followers.
Your ideas not just be shared with the followers, you can publish it to groups, or specific trend category. One thing about twitter is, it’s absolutely and actively engaging with latest in the online world.
Recently, event like Halloween absolutely dominate the twitter world as well as the real world in general as in just another 2 days, this celebration will start, infact some already started the activities.
Whatever it is, as I mentioned, you just can’t be left behind because, blog and microblog are definitely the future trend.
The current 2 most hot and popular applications in the internet are Twitter and Facebook. No doubt about it.
