			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Okay &#8211; now its confirmed that I&#8217;m a nerd.     I feel so excited that <strong><span style="color:#ff0000;"><a href="http://www.forrester.com/rb/research">Forrester</a> is following <a href="http://twitter.com/Ldillonschalk">my tweets</a></span></strong><a href="http://twitter.com/Ldillonschalk"> </a>- which is mostly made up of my blog post headers &amp; links   AND &#8211; they are following my tweets before I am following theirs &#8211; so in twitter fashion, I am invited to follow them. tee hee.   </p>
<p>I&#8217;ve always enjoyed Forrester reports and lamented my subscription loss when IBM changed its subscriptions (long story &#8211; my division started reporting to a technical division due to our work in emerging tech and despite being a management consultant/marketing strategist in need of research, subscriptions were only given to consultants in the business side.  Ah, the process mistakes of a big company vrrr).  Today &#8211; I am armed with the blogs and so enjoy Forrester again.</p>
<p>Some stats:<br />
Forrester follows 5, 537 people (making me no. 5,538)<br />
I can&#8217;t find the current no. of twitter users (without spending a lot of time on google) but in Jan 2008<a href="http://twitterfacts.blogspot.com/2008/01/whats-cost-of-twitter.html">, twitter facts </a>identified 450,000 active users. Well that was a year ago.  But that makes me [5,538/450,000] <span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>among the 1% population being followed by Forrester. </strong></span> Cool.</p>
<p>I wonder if tweet subscriptions are automated.  If I mention two analysts names in blog posts, do I get followed?  Hmmm..  that would lessen my excitement.  I&#8217;d like to imagine a jr analyst jumping up and down discovering my tweets saying we must expand from 5, 537 to 5,538!</p>
<p>Currently there are 14, 381 people following forrester.</p>
<p>And.. are you ready?  Seeing as I only started being an active tweeter four weeks ago &#8211; I have a total of 17 followers!  (including Forrester).</p>
<p>Ah.. I must sign off  <a href="http://twitter.com/Ldillonschalk">@ldillonschalk</a></p>
