Twitter and why do people follow


Whenever I get a twitter follow notification I always go and look at the persons profile to a) understand why they would want to follow me and b) to see if they are worth following.  I got a notification telling me that Grant Shapps was following me.

“Grant who” I thought and clicked through to his profile

Grant Shapps is a politician and his constituency is round to the North of London whereas I am based right down on the South coast in Ringwood, 105 miles away.  I cannot possibly believe that I have anything to say that Grant may find interesting and I do not think I have any interest in what he might want to say.

I do wonder whether he is just playing the numbers game rather than being really targeted and taking the time to look for people that it may be worthwhile connecting with.
