And I have only 21 new followers (16 stopped followed me for some reason) with total number of 1,717 followers!
I did not add any followers from "follow back" lists.
Today, I continued with hashtag initiative for helping newbies to acquire their first followers (this is my 6th day):
Here is my updated list "welcometotwitter" http://tr.im/LCek of newbies that I followed today (I followed 25 newbies today).
Bad news for my hashtag initiative(http://bit.ly/aMC9eL):
1. Newbies' response was unexpectedly very low: after 6 days and following of 168 newbies - less than 2% added "newt" hashtag to their tweets
2. More experienced Twitter users did not response to my initiative too
3. My daily follow rate shrinked by 75% comparing to previous week!
I decided to stop hashtag initiative on this Twitter account for the following reasons:
1. High volume of similar tweets with "let's help newbies" message might look like a SPAM.
2. There was strong correlation between the increase in number of "let's help newbies" messages and dramatic decrease in number of new daily followers.
3. Unfollow daily rate jumped by 300%.
My 27th day on Twitter will be Day of Silence (like every Saturday)...
