re: Twitter - I Don't Get It |

I guess part of my confusion about twitter is the persistent recommendation to "follow" people. I don't want to follow people - I want people to follow me!
I'm really not too interested in accumulating more random information, especially one sentence at a time. I participate in a few random conversations (like here), a number of focused conversations (like on the scooter discussion forums), and the rest of my Internet usage consists of searches (primarily on specialized websites, occasionally on Google).
Heck, I even shocked the guy trying to sell me advertising on the local newspaper's website. He said their site is leading local website with over 175,000 unique visitors every month. I said "Oh really? I've only been there once." (I don't visit news websites.)
To me, someone who is using twitter successfully will have many more people following them than they are following. It's more work - putting together quality posts in only one sentence - but it should result in your being able to influence lots of people without having to spend time wading through irrelevant posts.
Am I missing something here?
