(There are more who did that) With auto following that raised my number of followers to around 250. Some of those 250 became interested and started communicating and mentioning me on #followfriday. Another 100 followers in a week or two. The number of followers grows almost exponentially. Just be on the lookout for people you are interested in and who might be interested in you. Follow them every chance you have and your tribe will grow. Every time I read a good blogpost (that got retweeted) I try and find out who wrote it and follow them. You need to really work it to get more followers. As I'm writing this I'm following 614 people and 439 are following me. There is an overlap in there of course. I estimate it around 60% I thought: "439 followers, there <em>must</em> be someone in that list who can work a graphic design program and help me with a twitter bakcground" So I asked and at this very moment <a href="http://twitter.com/vagabondvistas" rel="nofollow">@vagabondvistas</a> is helping me with design. Is it luck? or statistics... All I know is that he didn't know what my blog was about until I got a reply in the mail: " I am intrigued by what you do. I wasn't aware of this when I offered to do your Twitter background, but now I'm glad that I did. There are no coincidences..." Get out there and start working on it :) To be honest I bumped the number of people I followed by adding everyone who named their twitter account on the 31DBBB challenge.

No one answers any questions I pose or responds to comments. I must be missing number 2 on your list. Apparently my tweets are pedestrian. No one answers any questions I pose or responds to comments.
