Yeah, maybe I’m stating that title a little strongly. Maybe so. But if it doesn’t kill Twitter, it is certainly going to decrease it’s value to the social web world. This much I am sure of.
If you’ve been happily living unaware of what a “follower ratio” is, allow me to briefly explain. Many people in the twitterverse these days proclaim that if your ratio of people following you vs. people you are following is really far apart then this says some bad things about you. At the very least, it’s bad form, bad manners, and communicates that you do not care about listening to others and only care about others listening to you. You are a broadcaster, not a social media participant. You are an irresponsible netizen.
Hogwash.
