How to promote your Twitter
Today I was watching my Twitter account evolution after 12 days of dismissing it and forgetting to update my status. (But my status still always update with Twitter for feeds and I also use another FireFox plug-in to post links I'm browsing.)
I left my account with 170 followers, now I come to watch the changes. More than 370 are following me!
Most of "All!!" webmasters and bloggers write about "How to Promote your Blog with Twitter". Yet, it's good, but first you need to grow your Twitter account by getting a big number of followers.
The idea is simple : Follow people on Twitter, they'll follow you. Generally, you need to follow 10 people, to get 1 following you.
Sometimes I follow from 20 to 30, but I don't get a follower back. Sometimes I follow 20, I get 16 or 18 in the mean time I followed them.
The rule is simple : Follow people that are following a big number of people.
This is logic, if someone has 12,000 follower and follow only 20 and you follow him and you don't know each other --> Result, he won't follow you!
In most of case, people with 2,000+ follower won't follow you back, or even read your updates. You'll need some active guys with 200 or 300 follower and that follow a lot, which mean they are ready for exchange.
Another important thing, is to update. Not so much but don't forget it!
By updating your status and putting interesting messages, you have the chance to appear more and attract Twitterers on the Public TimeLine.
But you can do more with the 'Every one twit' or the Public Timeline. You can reply to users, if they love your reply, they reply you back, reply your other status and may be follow you!
What makes Twitter unique is "Fast Growing" and "Simple". Following people is simple and easy, reply is amusing, updating is addictive. Also Twitter had many other third-part services like Twitter Counter that I uses a lot either for my account or for other ones.
Also you can post your blog or other profiles updates with Twitter feed. Twitter feed will automatically posts updates to your Twitter account; just tune it for you needs.
Finally Twitter is necessary for everyone.Start by Following me!
nice

Yes, I have been using this tactic for sometime now. It works real good!
I try to follow at least 10 people every day...
The 'Everyone' section is a pretty important section. You can find pretty goof folks there.
As a rule of thumb I follow only those people who have less followers than people who they are following.
Works best when used with TweetLater.
