Okay folks-Time for some twitter thoughts this morning- in light of the Sarah Phillips thing, I got thinking about "mini-fame" in our world
— Chappy (@itschappy) May 5, 2012
The phenomena of mini-fame or actual fame in the twitter world is fascinating. I personally love twitter, but don't consider a sort of fame.
— Chappy (@itschappy) May 5, 2012
But let's stop and think about it for a minute from an aspect of the crowd we are all talking to... I now have more than 500 followers.
— Chappy (@itschappy) May 5, 2012
Most probably aren't always paying attention, but still- that's a crowd of 500 people that potentially see my every tweet on this account.
— Chappy (@itschappy) May 5, 2012
Folks, that's a small stake conference or a large ward congregation that is being presented everything you say.. And again, I'm a small fish
— Chappy (@itschappy) May 5, 2012
Think about this in terms of a ward congregation more. How often do you speak in your ward... once a year? This crowd you speak to every day
— Chappy (@itschappy) May 5, 2012
Obviously not everybody is listening or seeing what you present each time- then again, not everybody is listening during sacrament meeting!

Let's take another example- My @MLSConvert feed is nearing 250 followers and many of these people are "listening" during matches especially.
— Chappy (@itschappy) May 5, 2012
The primary purpose of the @MLSConvert feed is to talk during matches when everybody is listening more- especially if I tag #MLS or #RSL
— Chappy (@itschappy) May 5, 2012
And again, I'm just a small fish with no desire for "mini-fame" but it is still fascinating to me that THAT many people could be listening.
— Chappy (@itschappy) May 5, 2012
When you think about from just a numbers POV it really is fascinating because that is A LOT of people.
— Chappy (@itschappy) May 5, 2012
It will be interesting to see how the "mini-fame" of twitter and FB grow over time. It really does give everybody a larger voice.
— Chappy (@itschappy) May 5, 2012
Think about accounts like @ohwanka or @fauxjohnmadden that have become very popular- the guys are probably just guys who started tweeting.
— Chappy (@itschappy) May 5, 2012
I bring those guys up because apparently Sarah Phillips was after control of those accounts for advertising purposes: digitaltrends.com/social-media/t…
— Chappy (@itschappy) May 5, 2012
So what will be interesting to me as we move forward in this social media world is will those popular accounts get corporate control?
— Chappy (@itschappy) May 5, 2012
Most would say "No way, it's only twitter", but there's $ to be made as the corporations understand more about it and they will exploit it.
— Chappy (@itschappy) May 5, 2012
This article from Clay Travis says that each time Erin Andrews tweets a photo more than 50K people click on it: outkickthecoverage.com/2011-belonged-…
— Chappy (@itschappy) May 5, 2012
Folks, there are tons in potential advertising dollars from that and more. Know how Google made all their $? Ad-Sense... adds on webpages.
— Chappy (@itschappy) May 5, 2012
Again, as we move forward and more and more people get on twitter it will be interesting to me to watch and see ow $ is made on social nets.
— Chappy (@itschappy) May 5, 2012
And finally, how far the trickle effect goes. Are popular local or regional tweeters going to get ad deals?
— Chappy (@itschappy) May 5, 2012
You all know that guys like @zbloxham & @LostTacoVendor are probably at the forefront of the conversation on deserving things like ad sales
— Chappy (@itschappy) May 5, 2012
Interesting topic to me...I'm sure social analysts have a formal name for all of this, but it is just something I have observed and pondered
— Chappy (@itschappy) May 5, 2012
One last thought-Have any of you ever looked at @trendrr? If not, go take a look. It could be a new TV ratings system based on social media.
