Tipping Points of Twitter

I created my account on Twitter last August on a whim to see what all the hype was about. Last month I hit the 100 followers mark after more than 2000 updates. I know there are many twitter users that have less updates and more followers, but that doesn’t bother me. The drive for high numbers is not my reason for tweeting, but hopefully a by product of the content of my tweets.

A strange thing has occured in the 3 weeks since I have hit the magicial 100 followers mark though, I gained ~45 new friends/followers (not including the spam bots that are plaguing the twitter community recently). The influx of new friends makes me feel like I have reached one of the many tipping points that exist on Twitter.
