A few days ago one of my favorite architecture blogs published a post called “5 reason to follow ArchDaily on Twitter” [sic!] While the post itself seemed clumsy and the reasons were not enticing enough to follow them the sheer idea of the post was spot on. Thus I decided to convince those of you who still don’t follow me on Twitter (I got way less followers than subscribers) to do so.
Moreover I’d like to encourage you to write a post with reasons to follow you as well!
First things first though. Here are the 10 reasons to follow me/SEO 2.0 on Twitter. You can:
- Look at the biggest sombrero in Twitter town!
- Read daily updates, not just a few times a week.
- Get fresh SEO, social media and blogging links you in many cases don’t on SEO 2.0 and on my Delicious feed either
- Find out who’s cool at Twitter and in the search and social media marketing sphere by watching me communicate with these people
- Get some hard core rants: I’m fervently anti-Digg, wary of Google and I kick fake Web celebrities like Jason “SEO is bullshit” Calacanis in the butt
- Enjoy my one of a kind humor while I ridicule bogus media phenomenons like the swine flu
- Endure my limitless arrogance while I tell you what SEO, social media and the Web are about
- Get some bizarre world views fueled by my diverse background in Eastern Europe, Hip Hop, media activism, vanguard art, web development etc.
- Learn how to network with people you’ll never actually see or meet in real life watching me doing it
- Experience the benefits of anti-SEO or SEO 2.0, me retweeting, stumbling and sphinning your links in case they’re worth it
Now think about yourself:
- What makes you truly unique?
- What do you tweet about people could really care for?
- How do you support your virtual social network?
- How do you contribute to your industry, subculture or community?
- What are the reasons you’re on the Web, into social media and Twitter in particular?
Take one or two of the best answers for each question and devise your won list! Tell me several reasons to follow you on Twitter. I might do it! Did I just convince you? OK, then. Follow me now @onreact_com

I’d copy these to my blog, but I think your sombrero is bigger than el mio. :-)

Keep up the great SEO tips.
Good ideas, but I agree, the sombrero is daunting. Followed you.
Well it looks like you’ve gotten at least four followers from this post.
Hip Hop and sombrero’s? Whats not to Like :)
I Like alternative thought. You got my follow !
now where is that big button follow me on twitter:) ??
i am so sick hearing about twitter!
Habe gut 20 Sekunden gebraucht um den Link zu Deiner Twitterseite zu finden. Gut versteckt :)
I already follow you, but number 5 convinced me even more. :)
Can you believe that I am not really a “pro-Twitter” and that I actually believe that Twitter will soon become obsolete (let’s say as soon as Google Wave comes on stage)?
I follow for the sombrero. ;)
I think u give good reason to follow you but there is many SEO Experts on twitter.
I really groan at the thought of using Twitter. It seems like everyone’s twittering and it’s driving me nuts.
Although I’m told it’s good for marketing campaigns and that I should get involved although personally I’m looking for reasons not to use it!
There`s already a bunch of SEO experts on there, but you got such a cool sombrero.. ok then, I`ll follow you. :P
So, I follow you.
Some are funny reasons! But will definitely follow you on twitter. I’m pretty sure you’re worth it to follow.

[...] Twitter is not a link farm, folks. If you think you can just put in a twitterfeed, leave it be and then expect to actually obtain something out of twitter, you’re nuts, amigo. Something goes if all your tweets are comprised of links, upon links, upon links. Remember the two C’s? Swear by them and you won’t have a problem on twitter. Speaking of twitter and links, Tad said it better than I ever will. [...]
