I too wonder how many people retweet without even checking an article or a link or a photo. Maybe it's the aspect of garnering 1000s of followers on Twitter, who knows. I'm not one who gets to play the popularity numbers game. I like your ‘Trilogy of Twitter Terror’ title much better than mine. If only this weren't a comment, I'd retweet it! ;) j/k Dave: That’s a good point about seeing it in reverse.

It almost seems like there is an active reluctance amongst tweet followers to follow links... even if it's just to an image on Flickr.  I can't help but wonder if they see it in reverse to me - that looking at web content, images or blogs only subtracts from valuable tweet time.  I much enjoyed your 'Trilogy of Twitter Terror'. ;) This sums up a lot of what I have found – that the conversion rate isn’t proportional to the effort expended.

No guarantees, of course. But you have to look at it as a marketing and networking tool and decide if you want to invest the time.
