Hi Clayton – glad you found the tips helpful. They sure did me. Now, I notice, since writing this, now that my Twitter grade is 99.5/99.6, that the Grader is not has helpful as it was when I was below 800 or so. That may be a glitch on their platform, but it was an integral part of my growth up to 1000.
Will be happy to follow you – thanks for leaving your @twitter handle!

Thank you for sharing your tips. I focus my business efforts on all things broadband. Also, my personal passion is for public fairness in communications. Particularly access, technology, and content. I am stuck around the 70 something number but will focus on finding quality like minded people with the methods you have shared. I can be followed at @embertime.

Good points, Rich. One thing I didn’t mention in finding people to follow is to look at Twitter leaders profiles and see who they are following. Typically the elite in Twitter have a ton of followers but a small percentage of those they are following, so I take a look at them to see who might be a good follow-fit for me.

Excellent job of decoding what makes Twitter work, Julien. I’m going to excerpt on my blog this morning and later will begin following in your tweetsteps.

When comparing grades between tweeple, don’t just normalize on keywords but specialize and verify that those keywords have a high incidence of relevance in their individual inbound/outbound twitstreams. Don’t be caught blind-sighted by the echo chamber.

Hi Bruce – thanks for the comment. Yes – refreshing the TwitterGrader is very useful! What is your Twitter address? We’ll follow!

I do the TwitterSearch, on all sorts of terms like you’ve done but only sporadically. And I’ve noticed the occasionally relevant recommendations on TwitterGrader but never thought to refresh for more. Duh!

Thanks for echoing my own quality-over-quantity philosophy and for the inspiration.
