We’re not the first to ask the question but, really, what gives.
In the ScribeLabs inbox today we came across this:

19,035 followers? Ok, well done. The account they just followed has about 19,000 less than that (but we’re growing, yay!).
But following 18,142 people? How? Why?
I’m all for the information firehose and all but really?
I don’t get the pathology. Someone please explain.
Also, we know Ashton has some multiple of a gabillion followers and all that. But who follows the most people?
That’s who we really want to meet.
And if you want to keep up with us @scribemedia (for more) or @scribelabs (for less) is your best bet.
Update: The Zen of Twitter
My brother (@pcervieri) sent this one in saying, “Man of few tweets, many followers.” Pretty amazing, 2,921 followers on only 10 tweets. That’s some deep thinking.
