Cyberspace In A Blog

One third blog about my (personal) journey as a solo entrepreneur, one third "entertainment" (various articles, quotes and random-ness from Cyberspace that is motivational, inspirational, humourous and fun) and one third anything to do with being your own boss (especially the role and use of social media in business)

Chocolate Calculator:




This was sent to me by a friend and yes .. it worked.. and it was fun.  Now I want some chocolate..... HAHAHAHA!






YOUR AGE BY CHOCOLATE MATH:




Don't tell me your age; you'd probably lie anyway-but the Hershey Man will know!

YOUR AGE BY CHOCOLATE MATH
 



This is pretty neat.

DON'T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST!
It takes less than a minute .
Work this out as you read .
Be sure you don't read the bottom until you've worked it out!
This is not one of those waste of time things, it's fun.


1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to have chocolate (more than once but less than 10)



2. Multiply this number by 2 (just to be bold)
 



3. Add 5
 


4. Multiply it by 50 -- I'll wait while you get the calculator



5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1759 ..
If you haven't, add 1758.
 



6.. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born.
 


You should have a three digit number



The first digit of this was your original number
(i.e., how many times you want to have chocolate each week).



The next two numbers are
 


YOUR AGE! (Oh YES, it is!!!!!)



THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR (2009) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS.

I'm slowly but surely going thru the Tony Robbins Get The Edge program.  Those who have access to my personal blog will be able to keep up2date on my journey.  Please feel free to leave a comment, and if I so desire, I will allow you access as well. 


None the less, I came across a blog post by IMM about how Auto Following is basically killing twitter.  It used to be "the thing" to auto follow others on Twitter ... and this isn't the first post of its kind on this subject.  I feel there is a distinct "scaling down" as such happening with Tweeple (people who use Twitter).  


People are now wanting quality not quantity.  


Yes there is software you can install to filter out all crap except the small handful of people you actually want to listen to, but if you’re not going to be reading the other ten thousand people, why bother following them in the first place?  (source)


My best guess is this auto-following came about because ("back in the day when Twitter wasn't mainstream") it was risky to have an account where hundreds/thousands followed you however you didn't follow many back. It wasn't unheard of where those accounts would be deleted by Twitter as the "ratio" of followers and those following was out of whack.


Unless that was a myth and I have it all wrong?


(I do also realise marketers had some influence in the whole "auto follow" belief as well.)


None the less, over the next month or three I'm going to try to focus on quality as well. 


It's going to take awhile as I do have four "personalities" on twitter. 








How many people do you actually really follow on Twitter?  


Will you be scaling back and focusing on quality (following those who you actually DO want to follow)?
