Twitter poster – spot me, spot me!

Posted in Twitter on November 2nd, 2007

I gave a talk the other day on building online communities, in which I mentioned that gaming elements can be an important part in getting people to take part in a social network. Give most people a bit of a challenge and they rise to it.

Twitter’s newest Twitter poster is a great example of that :) It’s supposed to provide a visual representation of people’s degree of influence on Twitter. An hey, everyone wants to be a *little* influential.

Except of course if you have a private Twitter profile. Then you just want to be private!

Already I’ve seen a few tweets popping up about how to get on the Twitter poster. How many followers you have seems to be a consideration, but I think there is a bit more to it. Some people with 0 followers appear on the Australian page, so it could just be a pretty picture… Anyone else have theories?

Oh, and you can follow me here BTW.

Game on ;)
