Random Twitter Phenomena
Over the past weeks I’ve noticed a few Twitter “Phenomenona” that I felt were worth sharing:
- After Kevin Rose said “ask me any question, and I will @ reply you back (for the next 20 mins, then getting dinner)”, over 1,200 people @replied him within those 20 minutes. I was sitting on the couch with @brianshaler and we were both amazed that so many people were so closely watching Rose’s Tweets AND had a question for him.
- Chris Pirillo managed to create value out of being helpful on Twitter. He frequently posted links to coupons / product deals on different e-commerce sites. What you may or may not have noticed was that each link was an affiliate link that surely earned him a small kickback on any purchases made on that site
- After being @referenced in tweets from a few friends (@andrewhyde, @brianshaler, @t and @indiekid to name a few) who happen to have quite a few more followers than I do, people started following me at much higher than usual rates. While this seems so obvious, watching it happen really solidified my understanding of how Twitter “works”.
