Twitter Realities

I'm a user and fan of Twitter.  But I am also a thinker. 

Had a couple of new followers (or so I thought) join my community, but Twitter doesn't list them on my page of followers.  So are they following or not?  Time will tell.

With this issue simmering, I found this blog from Jim Long at Verge New Media.  I really dig his insights.  Coincidence or not, check out his thought provoking post on Twitter.
