Poo on 'Twitter 2001 follow restriction'..

JED: "Alright, Master Poo, let's start our Toe-to-Toe interview/review here. Tell me again what you told me way back when.. about the Twitter basics on following others & gaining followers."

JEDiturd's Note:
twittererers = twitter critters (twitcrittas)

MP: "Okay, well, JED. Basically, the way it works is twitcrittas are allowed to follow up to 2001 other twitcrittas. They are not allowed to follow any more than that until they have 1850 or 1900 following back. I forget the exact number now. I'll hafta look it up. Once they have 1850+ critters following them back, they can follow additional critters.

JED: "There is a catch, though. Right?"

MP: "Yes. Once the Twitter restriction is lifted at 2001, from that point on, you can only follow 10% more twitcrittas than the amount of them following you back."

JED: "So, what little bit of wisdom can one derive from knowing this Twitter follower/following rule?"

MP: "It means it is to one's disadvantage to keep following shitcrittas that refuse to follow back. And.. spam followers are quality followers because they offer value to you."

JED: "Why do spam followers offer value where shitcrittas don't?"

MP: "Well, basic math shows you that each spam follower you don't follow back makes up for each non-followback shitcritta you follow. There's apps now like Unfollow for Twitter that make it easy to ditch the unhelpful baggage. To whomever's reading this now, I'll pause & let you go declutter your twitter of them now. See you in a bit."

JED: "..."

Begins.. Toe to Toe with Poo now

Master Poo: "Good afternoon, Mr. Clampetunia."

JED: "Greetings, Master Poo."

MP: "What brings you to the village?"

J: "Well, I thought we could maybe go over a few topics that we once shared many a Holy Basil tea over many moons back."

MP: "Okay. And you're posting it on a blog because why?"

J: "It's kind of a long story. I've a feeling you know why. Besides, if we can just talk for a bit, I'm sure you'll get the gist of the shit you missed."

MP: "Okay, so how do you wanna do this?"

J: "Well, Poo. I mean, Master Poo. I wrote down some of the topics I wanted to go over with you & have a few questions related to each of them. I thought we could maybe structure our conversation somewhat like a practice test where you see what I retained from what you taught me. Seeing as how long I can drag out an answer (this reply is proof), I thought we could restrict ourselves to 140 characters in an attempt to give our discussion a Twitter vibe."

MP: "Okay. I see you have many topics set up as blog posts, but you haven't added content yet."

J: "Yeah. I know. I'm still setting up this interview with you thing."

MP: "Okay, I'm ready. This iced tea's for you."

J: "Thanks, Master. Can you give me a sec? I'll be right back."
