Many people also auto-follow those who follow them. Hence, one easy way to get a lot of followers is to follow a bunch of people who auto-follow back. There are even strategies for figuring out who auto-follows. Over time, I think that this strategy won't work very well, but right now, at the "Wild West" stage of social media, it will bump the numbers on sites like Twitter. What that turns in to over time has yet to be seen. Hang on to your hat! Best, Stephen Hultquist, your Geek Whisperer http://twitter.com/shultquist Ashley,
