Een korte video van TED begin 2010. Derek Sivers laat een video zien en legt uit wat het traject is van leider, naar volger, naar volgers en een beweging.

  1. Er staat een leider op – hij doet iets anders dan de rest
  2. Dan komt er een volger – hij veranderd de eenzame gek in een leider
  3. De eerste volger wordt omarmd door de leider – waarmee duidelijk wordt dat het niet om de leider gaat maar om de beweging
  4. Dan meer volgers
  5. Dan wil iedereen volgen – anders vallen zij uit de boot en worden een eenzame gek.

Deze video met commentaar van Derek Sivers is een mooi voorbeeld van hoe een leider een volger nodig heeft om een beweging te zijn.

twitter-following-followersOK, this is little bit a cry for help. I need your help to get some attention from Twitter. Why?
I am at the following limit of 2,000 people. Why am I at the following limit, I love to follow interesting people.

At this moment I am blocked at 2,000 following because that is the rule as explained here by Twitter.

We do not limit the number of people who can follow you, but we have put limits in place to stop people from aggressively following others. Everyone is allowed to follow 2000 people. After that, follow limits are based on the number of people who are following you.

Of course I can change this by dropping a lot of people that I follow. However I do not want to do that. For me, it is more about who I am following than who is following me. The people that I follow on twitter give me interesting information, links, tips…. When they want to follow me back that is really nice, because than we can have a conversation, I like that too.

Some people that I follow are very popular and receive lots of followers. However they do not want to follow back all these requests. I see a number of people that have a couple of 1,000 followers and only follow a few 100 themselves. These are not people that I want to stop following!

I always check the people that start following me. Are they people, are there conversations in their timeline or is it just links from their site/blog. Is their profile complete, name, bio, URL to site. If it looks like a spammer I always block the profile. If it is like a news twitter, just sending links from their site, I useally do not follow back (I use a RSS reader for that).

My follow rules are similar as explained in these 10 points: FOLLOW FAIL: The Top 10 Reasons I Will Not Follow You in Return on Twitter
