Kevin Rose: 10 Ways To Increase Your Twitter Followers - http://www.techcrunch.com/2009...

"This emphasis on followers will leave you unsatisfied. Why? You can’t control it. So, worry about what you CAN control: who you follow. Follow better people. Get better inputs! If you do that the followers will come and, guess what? They’ll be better followers too because you put the emphasis on what really matters. Who cares who is following you anyway? It only matters if they think you’re smart. Oh, and Kevin missed a few ways to get followers: 1. Survive a plane crash and Tweet it. 2. Get arrested and tweet from jail. 3. Have sex with someone famous and tweet that. 4. Start a famous company. Profitability not required. 5. Have Leo Laporte mention you on his show (worked for my son). 6. Have Mike Arrington tell you you’re addicted (worked for me). 7. Unfollow all your followers. Follow them back. Block them. Then unfollow them. (Worked for Loren Feldman). 8. Get into a movie. 9. Direct a movie. 10. Take pictures with MC Hammer at a TechCrunch party. Hope that helps."

Robert - weren't you just talking about losing followers a couple of weeks ago? How did you know you lost them if you weren't paying attention to your follower count? ;)
- Andru Edwards
Andru: because Twitter puts them in my face everytime I log in. It's hard to avoid knowing them.
- Robert Scoble
Scoble, somehow I find you more reactive here than on twitter.
- Richard A.
In essence, do something interesting, somewhat notorious, and admit it.
- Robert Miller
I have no clue how many followers I have, or when that number increases or decreases - but I rarely log in to Twitter I guess, since I use Twitter apps mostly.
- Andru Edwards
Richard: being two-way is a TON easier and nicer here. It pisses people off when you Tweet too much over on Twitter. Oh, and Andru, even if I didn't look at my home page often people remind me every day or two how many followers I have.
- Robert Scoble
cool

Ah I see...people are reminding you constantly...that makes sense ;)
- Andru Edwards
Andru: that and I'm an egotistical baaaahhhhhhsssstttttaaaaarrrrddddd. :-)
- Robert Scoble
Well, and now the truth comes out. LOL LOL LOL
- Robert Miller
I don't want more followers, I want the right followers - people who will talk to me, argue with me, and fire up my mind. So I try to look for these and follow them. That is a lot harder to crack - twitter search does not have a "find stimulating people" option
- Iphigenie
I agree with Joelle. Sure would be nice to have that search option.
- Robert Miller
that's cool

Good listing
- Håkan Dahlström
That's why I like people making "lists of people I'm glad to follow" or retweeting smart contributions, because it helps me find people. There's the same issue in FF, although comments really help. PS: I am still chuckling at robert's list though, good fun at the quirky/murky side of human nature
- Iphigenie
If the title of this feed would be renamed into the thought of Joelle nebbe, I would check it as an "like" ;

can;t help wondering what he's trying to launch...
- Paul Fabretti
from twhirl
Is he trying to kill Digg now? The "Retweet" is a much more successful version of what Digg is trying to do. If anything kills Digg it will be Twitter.
- Jesse Stay
Yep- these "Grow your following fast" schemes resemble the :get reach fast"ones too much for my liking :-)
- Antonio Altamirano
Completely agree, Stay. Something about the PubSub model has allowed them to become more of a social network than Digg (maybe b/c the semi-personal nature of Tweets) and new can travel fast through the Twittersphere. That is just one of its uses, yet it is SO simple. They deserve more respect for the power of their simple service.

Layers - OS X Screenshots to layered Photoshop files - http://layersapp.com/

It's a Mac app that does a screenshot of your screen but into a layered Photoshop file.. so you can move apps around, change background, etc. Found via various people on Twitter yesterday and I am a big fan already (this is my first post here, I've tried to follow the guidelines!)
- Peter Cooper
nice!
- vijay
I hate doing layers, hopefully this helps
