more friends than followers–portrait of Gloria Swanson in Sunset Boulevard? Yikes.

Interesting stuff, Alan.

Just looked at mine:
# 93 Friends
# 125 Followers
0.744?

Interesting indeed. My ratio would be 0.58 (21 friends, 36 followers), which I think is manageable.

The other day I was talking Twitter with K, and uttered the phrase “I have more followers than friends.” She just started laughing, imagining how that sounded outside the Twitter context.

More “followers” than “friends”… an OK thumbnail description of a cult leader?

Fascinating. I wonder when the 80-20 rule will start to appear, with power laws setting the Social Seekers at one end of the curve.

Interesting data analysis Alan … with a greater data pool who knows what could be correlated.

I’m not very active with Twitter but I’m at 1.16.
