To much followers

What will git give you if you get twitter followers that also follow 1.000 or more others?

It make no sense to me.

Example, I post around 3 tweets a day to my followers. And let's say they all tweet 3 tweets a day, that means that your follower that follows you and 1.000 others get 3.000 tweets per day. Taking Alexa as tool we can see people stay around 10 minutes on the website. What means in that 10 minutes they have to read 300 tweets per minute what is 5 a second. That is impossible.

And then there are a lot of companies and people who start to follow you, in the hope you follow back, who follow 3-4-5K profiles.

Then I ask myself, what does Twitter really give me or you?

    Think of it like a radio. If users happened to be tuned in they will see your message, if not they won't. Even a radio station with 5 million listeners doesn't mean they are all tuned in at any given moment... but that doesn't mean you won't be able to reach the ones who are. Focus on popular topics to increase visibility (using hash tags) and use twitter to become recognized as a credible source of information in your industry.

    The good thing is that out of those 3,000 followers, only a small fraction will be on at any given time anyway. Likewise for many of the profiles they follow. But still, there's too much going on in the average user's feed.

    I think Twitter is probably more useful as a tool to connect one on one vs. broadcasting to many, i.e., Facebook.

      If you're worried about this, then you should target users who are following say less than 200 accounts (if this is your strategy, i.e. following other users in the hope of them following you back)
