Is less more?

As in real life there are those who have more to say on Twitter than others.

It stands to reason that one hopes that the people you follow will have something to say. Some say a lot and others are worth waiting to hear when they eventually do speak. But is there any relationship between how often you tweet and how many followers you have? Here is a selection of some of the property tweeps I follow and their ‘tweet-to-follower’ ratio. Some (like old chum Guy Jenkinson) are relatively new to Twitter so give the impression that they must be boring people but look at their number of tweets before coming to that conclusion. If I thought any these people were just banging on then of course I wouldn’t follow them in the first place.

So, does it follow that the more you have to say the more followers you get?

My own numbers are;- 17,599 tweets giving a tweet/follower ratio of 2.25.

(Important to confirm that as far as I know no egos were bruised in the compilation of this list!)
