    Do you use twitter to promote your blog? If so, how do you expand your friends list and get people to follow you other than people you know personally?

    You can't make people follow you.

    But you can network on social sites, most of which have a tie in to Twitter and Facebook. So you need to leverage Social Communities.

    But the bottom line is if you want people to follow you and actually do something you have to create value for them.

    If you want to get people following you, then you must follow people. Also interesting tweets can earn you some followers....

    Depends if you are using it for business or personal. Use search.twitter and follow everyone that is tweeting about the same things you are interested in or are promoting.

    I have also found that following your competitors twitter followers can be successful too.

    However if you tie of the manual process of it all you could always pay twittercounter to grow it for you.

    Good Luck

    I dont have Twitter account. However, I put up the tweetmeme in my blog. The traffic from Twitter is not that great, and most of the visitors do not leave comments or click on the ads.

    Twitter sucks. I've been using it for a couple months, getting a couple hundred unique views/day from Twitter alone, but gained 0 profit from it.
