I agree with a large no. of followers putting me off. Anywhere over 200 and I think I'm not going to get noticed if I do/don't read or comment, and for me it is about <i>connecting</i> with others - hence my thing about hoping people reading my blog will actually become interested in what I'm saying and not just hitting that 'follow' button to give me a brief thrill before leaving again. you know what I mean?Being Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08600427311498297800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7867081262675426242.post-44696427932526278092010-08-22T16:21:40.357+10:002010-08-22T16:21:40.357+10:00D'oh, I'm even later, Melissa! ;)

I don't see the point of having people "follow" you (when all they ahve to do is click a button), I'd rather know they're going to get invested in my content.Being Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08600427311498297800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7867081262675426242.post-71252363847852422282010-08-20T23:19:02.088+10:002010-08-20T23:19:02.088+10:00I am late to the party again...

If they get boring (800 or 4000) I'm outta there. <br /><br />Content is king for me and I always try to comment when I can. Often I read when waiting for ppl for inspections etc and have to drop and run. Anywhooo.<br /><br />Loving you at 50'something.

So thanks for following me and especially for commenting.<br /><br />Solnushka - following on blogger gives you a list of the blogs you follow most recent posts on in one spot. It makes it all neat and tidy for me.<br /><br />I'm very glad you all dropped by!E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04660326954591560370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7867081262675426242.post-91145561829690119992010-08-19T10:55:59.536+10:002010-08-19T10:55:59.536+10:00I agree with pretty much everything written alread...I agree with pretty much everything written already.<br />Especially the 800 followers but smallish content!<br /><br />I think I love the little blogs bestest.Luluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10050303695579821042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7867081262675426242.post-45815130866200194452010-08-19T10:11:51.128+10:002010-08-19T10:11:51.128+10:00I have been stuck on 50 followers for aaages.

But I haven't really been posting much lately so anyone new to my blog would think it was pretty boring. <br />It is always nice to have new followers, but I think there are generally lots of people following that don't actually publicly 'follow'. If that makes sense!Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18190504250173924330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7867081262675426242.post-47465437515250191682010-08-19T08:21:34.094+10:002010-08-19T08:21:34.094+10:00How does the follow thing work then?

As a result, I'm afraid I tend not to hit the follow button mainly because I don't really understand it. <br /><br />I know!

Part of it that I don't think any comment I make will be read or appreciated, it will just get lost in a fray of other eager commenters. Part of me thinks they don't need me either! Anything beyond those numbers I may look at but then move one. For a regularly followed blog on my list, after somewhere around 250 followers they are likely to lose me unless I really love it there and have been following since way back when they were about 50, like you!

So maybe the content *was* good, ages ago, and because the followers came, then the content became less importannt, as followers follow the masses? Dunno? Am I making any sense at all?!Diminishing Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02072304081006798910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7867081262675426242.post-74521651747518182582010-08-18T23:12:26.645+10:002010-08-18T23:12:26.645+10:00I follow blogs I like.

But I do tend to prefer the content of blogs that don't seem to have a lot of followers, they seem to be more 'real' somehow.<br /><br />I like to participate in 'blog hops' on occasion, it's nice to fell part of a community sometime and it's a good way to discover new blogs. If I like what I see, I follow.<br /><br />I don't get too hung up on the number of followers I have. Sure, it's nice to know that someone out there is hearing when you're pouring your heart out, but I'd rather have 4 followers who I'm regularly able to interact with and get to know than 4000 who I don't really know.Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02844494445725108638noreply@blogger.com
