Twitter followers

The way some Twitter accounts follow you immediately following a single tweet continues to amuse me.

We just cranked up the Origami Risk Twitter account. We don’t have real followers yet, but Twitter references help with the search engines and our momentum is building.

We also just revamped our web site, particularly the product section. We have added so many new features, plus video help, that we needed a major update (as a quick aside, with no bureaucracy to worry about, the site revamp took exactly one day).

So the new web site was an obvious tweet topic. I believe tweets should try to be amusing, so the tweet was:

Origami Risk unveils updated web site. More articles, video and celebrity gossip (OK, 2 out of 3).

Immediately, Origami Risk gains followers in the celebrity gossip world. Hilarious. They’ll be a bit disappointed if my next tweet is:

The real cause of Tiger’s accident: Reading loss triangle while driving.
