Tweet of the Day: Power to the tweeters!

It’s Friday, so we’re calling the Tweet of the Day early.

Compliments of New York Times technology critic and blogger David Pogue is this humorous rumination on the power of a large Twitter following.

Pogue followers doubled since yesterday (??). We could have some REAL fun with this army! Skew Amazon rankings, flood blog comments... :)

He has 47,593 followers—and growing.

So far Pogue’s tweet has attracted some remarks from fellow Twitter members, including this one—a compliment to the Tweet of the Day.

Why do the Twitterati assume that followers = army that will do their bidding? So, what do you want us to do for you?

Send us any tweets you think deserve highlighting. Leave them in the comment section, e-mail to me (michaels@ragan.com) or send me a message on twitter @msebastian.
