Follow You Will You Follow Me?

The overwhelming success of Twitter leaves many of us swirling in its twitertwhirlious wake. I’ve been a member for about a year and half and find it still ranks highest amongst my daily habits.

The Word “Follower”

“I will follow you will follow me” - Phil Collins

I also realize that I am now either a very persuasive cult leader or am being stalked by close to 1,890 people.

To the point, I’m mostly bewildered by the “Follower” concept. Since Twitter has been around, the term “follower” has been applied to thousands upon thousands of people who simply read other people’s Twitter streams.

The word “follower” however, bears a bit more weight and consideration. The simple Twitter interface tells us who is “follower” to our Twitters. You can compare this with who you are “following” and a finely tuned interface will tell you who follows you, leaving all of us confused as to whether leading or following bears more persuasion.

I’ll beg the question

If you are a leader, are you a follower also?

A Jewish Girl’s Thoughts on The Seven Deadly Sins

• Lust: Not a sin.
• Gluttony: Not a sin. Unless you don’t share what you have!
• Greed: A sin.
• Sloth: Rest only when weary.
• Wrath: It happens sometimes.
• Envy: Only that the health of our youth is not equivalent to the wisdom of a greater age.
• Pride: a sin only if truly misplaced.
