I know of a few people who are mass following people and then automatically unfollow all of the people that dont follow them immediately. Of course through that you get a lot of followers but I am not sure whether thats worth it. Thanks Nick.

I have heard many mixed reviews about mass-following. Personally, I think it is a bit shady…

Has anyone had any experience with it?

Thanks Murlu. Yes I am indeed proud that my time on site is that high. Especially considering that before the experiment is was at 7 seconds. Interesting what you mention though. I will see whether that happens with my account too. Right now I am at around 400 followers and it isnt rising that fast though. And I agree the more followers you have to more likely it is that people are going to follow you. Thanks buddy.

Thanks for sharing your experiment – definitely found it helpful.

Your average time on the site is really great, 3 mins is definitely something to be proud of.

Twitter, in my view, definitely has a tipping point. For a while I hovered around 300 or so followers but after the 500 mark it started to grow faster and faster.

I think it may be that people are more inclined to follow users with higher followers but sharing great content is still the backbone.

Keep up the great work and build, build build!
