Having lots of followers in twitter only means you are in need of those followers. It really depends on you if you want lots of followers. Those people who have lots of followers have purpose. Either they formed a group and wants lot of people to share the news, or it is a business that you want to share to the world, or an organization that give service for free or just simply a person who wants a lot of followers. Right now, I abandoned my Twitter account already because I feel that it is a waste of time to get active there because I have lots of important things to do other than that. Also, if one wants to be popular, to think that more followers on Twitter means you are very famous and all, but for me having lots of followers are only good for business.
