Robert Scoble asks “How can anyone follow 10,000 or more?” The answer: not very easily. Although Scoble provides some tools to help you manage the press of tweets, the real nugget here lies in his distinction between Follow and follow:
There is a difference between Following (with a capital “F”) and following, the way Chris and I are doing it.
Over on FriendFeed I was using groups to follow a small number of people very intimately. My wife, for instance, and my son, were Followed (capital F) very closely in a group. I saw 100% of what they write. Another group, of tech thought leaders was followed pretty closely. I probably saw 80% of what flowed through that group. But the other groups of 25,000 people? I randomly saw what they were writing. I saw maybe 10%. So, if you wrote 10 Tweets I might see one of those.
The moral of the story?
Who you follow defines you.
How can ANYONE follow 10,000 or more?.
