After spending some time on Twitter, I have now started to notice a regularly repeating pattern. Followers coming out of the blue - without me really understanding why I should be of interest to them - following me for a couple of days and then disappearing again.
I have gradually come to the conclusion that they just come by to fish for followers - and since I'm not interested in following them, they simply disappear again.
It is probably very good that it is this way. Because I'm not the type who mindlessly follows people because they follow me. I follow people whose tweets can inspire me when they appear in my Twitter feed. Just like I hope people follow me because I can give them inspiration when I appear in their Twitter feed.
In particular, I appreciate people with whom I can engage in two-way communication - be it on Twitter or elsewhere - so that it can provide inspiration, food for thought and value to both parties. I would rather have five such followers than I would have 5000, who just come around fishing for me to follow them.
