Randalator: How to get lots of twitter followers in 5 easy steps

1. weasel yourself into the entourage of a minor celebrity or IT girl or embarrass yourself on as many casting/reality shows as possible
2. release a sex tape (VITAL!!!)
3. call the paparazzi every time you leave the house
4. have complete and drawn out mental break down via all news outlets known to man
5. try antagonizing other celebrities with incomprehensible drug-fueled diatribes

Repeat as necessary.

yyahoo: That almost sounds like the Amanda Bynes method, at least the last 3... it didn't work out too well for her. I think she's still locked up in the looney bin.
I don't think Amanda Bynes did the sex tape thing. It's kind of hard to do that when you're constantly getting booked down at the county jail and or wondering the streets of L.A. in a drug induced haze.

Paris Hilton did a sex tape but it didn't work as far as controversy goes because it ended up being a better movie than her remake of "House of Wax".

I followed you, I'm not quite as avid a user of twitter lately though. I go through spurts of using it.

Ah Amanda Bynes, sad that one of my childhood shows that featured her ends up this way.

It's a sad thing though. It means people love to follow a trainwreck for their own amusement/entertainment. I like schadenfreude but I'm not going to target weak folks like her.

If you want to tweet about a particular subject such as games or sports, then try to keep it relevant to attract people with similar interests. Generic tweets about anything and everything tend to get lost in the crowd.

I actually only know this as one of my girls uses twitter. The "I had toast for breakfast" type of tweets strike me as legalised and consensual stalking.

KneeTheCap: My only real "accomplishment" with Twitter is getting blocked by a Bioware writer. That was fun.
You didn't happen to mention Mass Effect 3, did you?

RedRagan: I use twitter but I don't even understand hashtags or the follow system. I'm pretty much clueless in what the hell am I doing in Twitter.
Hashtags are searchable. If other people click on (or search for) that hashtag, they may find your post. The more people who see you, the more followers you're likely to acquire.

They can also be used to add a punchline or disclaimer (such as #sarcasm) to your tweets.

Which is pretty much what I do. I'm an aspiring author, so my tweets mostly consist of wordplay, wry observations and quotes from 'real' writers.
