Making An Impassioned (READ: Desperate) Plea For More Twitter Followers

I think it’s time for a new Twitter goal. Last year, I made a fuss about wanting to reach 1,000 followers (with at least one being a noteworthy celebrity), and happily I succeeded on both fronts (thank you, Blair Underwood). Now I’m at it again. I’m restless for more followers, and no, it’s not because I have some deep-seated desire to be popular (although I do have that). It’s because more Twitter followers means more traffic for this site. And more traffic for this site means higher ad revenue. And higher ad revenue means greater happiness for me. And greater happiness for me, means better blog quality for you (theoretically). So really, it’s a win-win situation.
My new goal is to hit 2,000 followers (ideally 2,500). Another celebrity would be fun, but it’s not essential. So if you’re not following me, sign up! After all, The Wrap did include me on its list of “50 TV Insiders to Follow Right Now.” If that’s not an endorsement, I don’t know what is. Besides, if you follow me, you’ll be privy to such glorious things as celebrity sighting tweets, impromptu TV observations, and biting social commentary. And by that, I mean whiney posts about being hungry (ie “I am very hungry. And drunk. The two are perhaps related.” 1:53 AM Jan 30th).
So follow me on Twitter at twitter.com/bsideblog. And then tell all your friends. It’s the American thing to do.
Thanks!
