By now most people in the social media sphere have gotten to know Twitter.  Although some huge question marks remain (monetization strategy? how can it really benefit a business), many people have adopted it as their new MSN name/Facebook status as a way to keep people informed of their day-to-day activities. (P.S. Does anyone else miss the days of detailing your entire social calender in one line of MSN status? I do!)

When I initially started using Twitter a number of months ago, I decided to become a “Twitter Snob”, keeping those that I followed to an exclusive bunch, only people I personally knew, or very important people that I was interested in.  My Twitter clique remained small, where I followed only about 30 people.

Last night I decided to jump right in and start expanding my Twitter posse.  Seeing that I have close to 1000 friends on Facebook, why not have that many on Twitter?

Now the big question remains - how do I find like-minded people to follow, and have follow me?

I’m going to begin by adding the friends of my close friends, I’m sure that there will be people that I know and that I’m interested in there.

Next, I’m adding everyone that follows “Social Media Club“.  How can I be a Social Media Maverick if I’m not in touch with all of those people?

Here’s where I’m starting:

I’ll update on my progress as the days go by!  Let’s see what my fellow Tweeters can do for me - but most importantly, what can I do for them?!

Follow me on Twitter to see for yourself!
