I've put two pieces of code into place below, one with the people I'm following on Twitter (friends, 450) and another on the number following me (followers, about 1,200). The snippets are limited because a number of people use images instead of pictures.

Trust me, there is no reason for me to be following fewer than are following me. I'm simply trying to keep the number manageable, but at every turn I'm finding interesting people to follow and I'm adding to the total, which I'm sure will be more than 500, then 600, and on. (I've resisted using Tweetdeck and other services to organize them; I'd rather read what they're saying in real time and spend the time doing so.)

I view these two mosaics as a new community I've found, or been included in, during the last year.

Hi Kirk,

I have the same 'code' as you. I also resist tweetdeck. I want to try (as idealistic as it sounds) to build and understand my new friends, one by one. I find the web browser version more like face to face relationship building. Being an educator, I know the brain thrives on immediate/real time feedback.

I am not building a business following, nor do I need the ego trap of the illusion of popularity. I would rather gather/join a small community with whom I hope to trust, share, laugh and learn.
You offer all of the above. Thank-you!
Lianne
