It has been suggested to me that writing about the number of followers I now have…

It has been sug­gested to me that writ­ing about the num­ber of fol­low­ers I now have might in some way be seen as ego­tis­ti­cal, gauche or oth­er­wise tacky.

So I’ll just post a pic­ture instead. :D

Wel­come new fol­low­ers. I hope I’m say­ing some­thing inter­est­ing.

    Actu­ally it’s slowed down a bit this week. I’m not sure why I’m get­ting so many cir­cles but it looks I’m aver­ag­ing 500 a week now.

    Of course most of them have never said a word to me or +1d a post so…

    Did you put your name on one of the web­sites? 500 per week is ridunculous!

    Well there are plenty of peo­ple who get far more than that. But they’re either:

    A) Female
    or
    B) Some­body

    I am nei­ther of these things so yeah… crazy numbers.

    Some of them come from cir­cle shares, beyond that I don’t know.

    I am expe­ri­enc­ing the same… but don’t have nifty chart. How do I find the nifty chart?

    I love sta­tis­tics and charts. You and a few other peo­ple I can think of are pretty well what I would imag­ine are the per­fect G+ers. Con­sis­tently inter­est­ing con­tent on a fre­quent enough basis (but not so fre­quent as to feel twit­tery). Any­way… congratulations?

    Thanks for post­ing this. My own graph looks impres­sive — and I can see 8 days ago I gained 66 in one day. Any idea if I can expand that graph’s time frame?

    Unfor­tu­nately I don’t know any way to adjust the graph. The table below it gives the entire his­tory from when­ever they started track­ing you.

    Cool, that’s more fol­low­ers than I have. :) Is it weird being stalked by so many strangers?

    No, but admit­tedly I’ve never been very con­cerned about pri­vacy online. That may be a very male per­spec­tive for me to have.

    Mainly I’m flat­tered and also some­what mys­ti­fied by the inter­est. :)

    I wish there was a way to mea­sure inter­ac­tions. From what I gather of your online per­son­al­ity you would rather have a smaller num­ber or a slower-climbing graph if it meant those peo­ple would actu­ally com­ment and interact.

    Yes I would. It’s nice to have all these fol­low­ers, but if they don’t offer an opin­ion it’s hard to do much with them. I can’t even really tell if they click on the links I post.
