I passed a milestone yesterday:
Welcome to my 2,500th Twitter follower http://t.co/2LkXXXQ95P

That’s pretty good, considering that I only follow 597. I passed the 4-to-1 follower-to-following ratio some time back. I’m thinking about trimming those I follow back to 500, so I can boast of 5-to-1. That’s how I measure progress on Twitter — by the ratios.
Careful husbandry is important in the Twitterverse. You have to prune now and then, as those you follow cease to post regularly. That way, you have a vital, relevant feed, and if you post readable Tweets on a regular basis yourself, you have the satisfaction of watching your followership grow in an orderly manner.
Some people garden; I tend my Twitter account…
