HI Matt, @daveixd here. I think you just need to take your time w/ it. I can't believe who is following me sometimes. Like why the heck? And then there are the peeps whom I'm "pissed" that don't follow me (they have their accts locked up) b/c I'm constantly getting 1/2 of their conversations b/c I follow like everyone they are talking to. It in an essence is the reality of community. There are people who listen to you and people who don't, but if you start to say interesting things people start listening.
But a lot of people are using tools whereby they are less likely to miss an @ (even from someone not following them) than just a standard broadcast message. So don't be afraid to @ people who aren't following you. It might just be the way you get noticed. But I do think you need to consider twitter differently from other paradigms and evolve your expecations and your behavior towards it. Explore, experiment and you'll find what ends up working FOR YOU using all the tools w/in the system. I.e. some people live on Summize searches and that way they keep up with topics or people based on those query results thus never missing anything. Others ignore that completely and just rely on the great AIR (or other) based clients they use. Others live entirely on their iPhone apps. I mix it up a lot except for summize. All I know is that I miss it, when I'm away for too long. ;-) -- dave . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
