Your Twitter account is private. Make it public and get strays follwing you, block the bots if they bother.
Are you Twittering? Page 21
This may have been asked before, but does Twitter actually work if you are not a celebrity??
I signed up for 24 hours before cancelling my account as the only people other people are interested in are famous people.

No. If you're a name, people flock to you and interact like a mini forum. If you're not, f**k off. You get a smattering of followers and that's it.

I guess she made it private after I saw it. I must have done hurted her feelings.

That's assuming that the value of Twitter is making other people listen to what you have to say, rather than listening to what others are saying.

You may laugh, but it's just a delivery mechanism.
Email would be pretty useless if all your mates were boring idiots.
RSS would be pretty useless if you only subscribed to shit blogs.

Thank you. I will.

I doubt it.
If in doubt, mention words like 'eggs', 'Shakespeare' and 'iPhone' in your tweets. Someone will have a search out for it and latch on like a limpet.
Imagine my surprise when I made a joke about it "always being Lupus or cancer" on medical drama 'House', and found that I was quickly followed by Lupus Solutions.
Actually, it wasn't so much surprise as a keen sense of guilt...

I got a follower from British Gas or something shortly after making a "How many blondes does it take to change a lightbulb" joke.
Oh, ukuleles too. For some reason.
I have a ukelele follower as well!
Oh and I made a joke about the godhatesfags.com webadmin ... and the webadmin replied... I was taken aback.
I love getting random robot/marketing followers after jokes
Bot Update - they seem to like 'bikes' too.
