I can sell more product and services because of the thoughts I put down in this blog. There is a trust factor associated with selling and business development... between clients. The trust is built through content. Joe,

On Twitter or otherwise? Are you paid money for your thoughts or expressions on twitter? I admit to spending time on Facebook for example, but it never has resulted in more than time wasted. but… how does it make any business sense to post bloggs on the web? On Twitter or otherwise?

You could have a large number of followers but a large percentage will still miss a Tweet. Meanwhile any given follower might happen to be tuned in at the right time. I think you need both quantity and quality. The nature of Twitter makes receipt of an individual Twit a very hit or miss proposition.

A high quantity can be turned into quality if you have a strategy to do so. If it is just collecting for collecting sake tehn they are most definitely worthless (or low value) but if you continue to follow a well laid out strategy to achieve...whatever it is you want to achieve..then the value of each follower can increase!

It depends. Is your company or organization serving a specialized vertical? If so, it's a case of quality over quantity. Someone with a company specializing in database software for mid to large enterprises would not expect, nor desire, the type of following that a consumer-focused site would. In that case, 200 devout followers (in this case, IT managers) is more valuable than 20,000 followers of all-things tech. On the other hand, if we're talking about somebody with a photo-sharing site, even the casual follower has some value. Quality versus quantity? It depends.

For instance, I can see a charitable organization benefiting with quality AND quantity because the goals for most of those organizations include being able to get the word out easily. Or with a large corporation that affects a lot of customers and you want to offer innovative means to serve those customers (like Comcast). Twitter helps both of these types of goals.

There is no point to building 30,000 followers directly without a goal as to what you are then going to do with them. The real question here is how easily Twitter helps you achieve a goal with tangible value to it. It is as easy to achieve specific goals, such as better customer support, with 20 followers as it is 20,000. If you don't take this approach then you're just playing a pointless game of Twitter Pokemon.
