A user sees that a new person is following, then clicks on that profile.
See, this here is the step I never thought of, because if I don't know a person who is following me, it wouldn't occur to me to click on their profile.

And also many people, in the beginning at least, had their default setting to automatically follow back people who followed them, so it's kind of like link spam feeding into SEO algorithms.
And also, some folks (ahem) use it for competitive intelligence and other even more esoteric types of market research.

Yeah, apparently even if you sign up as @ImAPr0nB0tAndWillGiveYouInternetHerpes and you follow a million people there are a tiny fraction of users who will think you are a real person and that your links might be something worthwhile, and the 99.999% of users not that dumb get to scrape off stupid bots every so often as fallout from that.

Surfurrus, just check your profile to see the last tweet we picked up from your account. As I type this, it's the one that starts with "I don't know who..." which was 17 hours ago. All of your latest tweets are within the last 20 minutes. We sweep Twitter periodically for new Tweets, so you need to give it 45 minutes or so. Some won't show up, but we get a good sampling.

I'm @sbeneli, and a little late to the thread, but I want to join in on the group hug. I will be randomly adding people, I'm sure!

So I'm @bronx, because when I created an account I looked out of the window and there it was. It's actually sort of a pain, in that most of what shows in the 'mention' search is people talking about what bar they're at.

Just added a bunch of people to my big Mefi list - word most commonly noticed in recent comments "cat". Object that is not a human most commonly seen in profile or background picture - cat. Hmm.

I'm late to the thread - I've been making bike trips to the beach after a two-month recuperation. I'll be talking about that lots, probably. I'm pronoiac.

Mahalo, pb, for info on the mefi tweet scroll. That page is more useful than viewing all the mefites on twitter. (Although, the various @mefi... info tweets are fantastic!)
... and I have to ask everyone in general ... why, again, are ppl randomly following every other mefite? Cat conversations?
... and, no, I am not going to change my name there to help you do your follow thingie there ... I'd actually rather change my name here

MeFites really, really like cats. Cats are the official animal of the internet I guess.

OMG, are cats really the official animal of the internet? If not, they should be. Like how states have flowers and flags and animals, the Internet should have a snowflake, a flag, and a cat.

@frankrogan
Please be nice to me or else I'll say "snuggle puppies" in an inappropriate context again.

I'm @paparatti, because when I signed up for Metafilter, it was before I upgraded my username to a better, less gothy one. I tweet a lot and I also missed this thread :(

Whoops.
I'm lemurrhea, and I kind of fell off the twitter map this year, it was interfering with class. Expect a lot of boring stuff about Canadian politics and law [and not the fun law, either, but like jurisdiction and discretion crap], plus random stuff.

I'm chickening out on the indexing option but the deets are available in my profile.
