Show me advice from people that no-one knows and how they use the site and grow relationships and I'll listen more. I find two of his suggestions particularly funny:<br><br>7. "Start a contest to get to the top". Right, since we all have MacBook Pro's to give away. And isn't that going against the whole community angle and being yourself?<br><br>8. "Follow the top Twitter users and watch what they tweet." Right, because everyone wants to be a robot with no mind or views of their own. And say I'm not a tech guy or a marketing guy - will I really want to follow Rob Scoble or Chris Brogan in that case? (As good as these guys are). <br><br>Seriously, for someone that had thousands of ins as soon as he started a Twitter account, his "information" offers nothing new. Maybe he should go back to his Digg site and start looking after the users that made it what it is (or was) instead of banning their accounts for being too popular.

8. “Follow the top Twitter users and watch what they tweet.” Right, because everyone wants to be a robot with no mind or views of their own. And say I'm not a tech guy or a marketing guy – will I really want to follow Rob Scoble or Chris Brogan in that case? (As good as these guys are).

Seriously, for someone that had thousands of ins as soon as he started a Twitter account, his “information” offers nothing new. Maybe he should go back to his Digg site and start looking after the users that made it what it is (or was) instead of banning their accounts for being too popular.

Maybe I need to try a few of those tips and also follow Kevin. Check out this post on "Why do People use so Many Online Social Networking Sites"? <a href="http://snurl.com/avfmc" rel="nofollow">http://snurl.com/avfmc</a> Maybe there's a few tips here we can all use.

Nothing too original, but it would probably help some people." After I RT'd the article, I realized some of these same things that these comments are pointing out. How come I have done all of the things in this list, but I don't have tons of followers yet? (Because these steps are not what its all about). No, Kevin Rose did not get 91,000+ followers by following these tips he gave out. Jacob, way to have the courage to point this out .
