Twitter, which is among the greatest ever social networking sites is still continuing to grow.
There are people who jumped into the bandwagon really early and as such they are miles ahead in terms of followers, often numbering to the thousands or to the hundreds of thousands.
It does not matter what exactly you are looking for every time you go online.
You may be after business intentions, hobby groups or you want to identify with a non-profit organization.
Twitter will serve the purpose.
It is common to view thousand plus following tweets as a preserve of the celebrities and popular public figures.
However, there are a number of practical tips you can follow if you want to get the same number of Tweet responses even though you considered yourself ordinary.
Some people state in their profiles that if you follow them they will "follow back".
These are a good way of getting numbers.
This is a clever way of growing your number of followers because every such person that you choose to follow will follow back.
The only thing is that it will not be instant.
People need to find out that you are following them closely.
There is another quick way to give the new followers recognition for being par o f the family.
There is a tradition called the Followback Friday.
The gist of this tradition is to encourage Tweeter profiles to look at their list and recognize new followers with a thread.
Look out for tags like #Follow and #FF.
You can start this Friday.
Look for any slight hint of a Tweeting that has the #Follow and #FF tags and then catch some fish there.
Follow the participants one by one.
If someone mentions you in his Tweets you should get involved and there you will find other people who want to participate in the Follow Backs.
