Depending on your answer you could be considered a ‘giver’ or a ‘taker.’ A fundraising site has created a tongue-in-cheek tool to analyse how selfish tweeters are by comparing the number of retweets they make, and the number of people they mutually follow.

By David Holmes On August 19, 2013 Today Twitter announced a new feature called “Related Headlines.”
From now on, when you click on a tweet’s URL on Twitter.com, you will see links to news stories where that tweet’s been embedded. For example, if I embed this Horse_ebooks tweet (and I’m going to), then my story should appear as a “related headline” when you click on the tweet’s URL. I hope I explained that properly because for a few moments today, there was a ton of confusion and angst over how this feature works.
Many observers assumed that the related headlines would appear on the websites where the tweets are embedded, when in fact they’ll exist only on Twitter.com. Why do things go viral on Twitter?

Social sickness: How Twitter can tell you (up to eight days in advance) when you are going to get ill. Twitter adds weekly email digest to your inbox so you can find the Tweets you might have missed.

It was bound to happen.
We share a mountain of information on Twitter, some of it very personal, and it was only a matter of time before someone built an engine to analyze that content and turn it into psychological profiles. That person is Dan Zarrella, a guest contributor to Mashable and a social and viral marketing scientist. Dan's taken two linguistic methods for unraveling the written word, combined it with the Porter stemming algorithm to reduce words to their base meaning, and created TweetPysch, a simple new service that derives a psychological profile based on a user's last 1,000 tweets.
Behind the scenes, however, TweetPsych is doing some sophisticated analysis on your cognitive content-rich status updates. The site is using the Regressive Imagery Dictionary (RID) and Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC) methods to analyze every character and return primordial, conceptional, emotional, and cognitive content. It's an interesting idea to say the least.
The Best Way to Build a Twitter Account? Step by Step. You signed up for Twitter , added a short bio, uploaded an avatar and are Tweeting regularly, but still nobody's following you.
Now what? The way most Twitter users (especially new ones) build a base of Twitter followers is by following people themselves. Lots of people follow-back people who follow them, so by going out and following people, you should be able to accumulate a lot of followers . I recently spent some time using data from Twitter Grader to test this assumption. I broke up the database into "buckets" of users based on how many users they're following. The graph below shows the number of users in each bucket (the red line) and the average number of followers the users in each bucket have (the blue line).
The red line indicates that most users aren't following a ton of people, which is expected given that most users aren't Twitter-addicts. Great Twitter Applications for Small Business.
