I’m not very active there and I don’t follow anyone unless they have followed me first. I’m not famous, and as noted I don’t have much to say there so I really didn’t expect any followers: I was just pulling my tweets down into my sidebar as a random bit of text to change things up a bit.

So I guess I expected a few of my website readers MIGHT follow out of curiosity. Some did, but it’s also picked up a bunch of other people that I really don’t think ever read my site.

Most of them are obviously people pitching something; they follow people in hopes of building their business. They must rely on the faith of “I follow you, you’ll follow me” behavior.

What I wonder is why they picked me? Why do they think I might use their services? Is it because one of that ilk did – maybe that one was geeky enough to have been at my site and others followed me because that one did? The snowball down the hill kind of thing??

I dunno…
