As many of you know, I am a very prolific Twitterer. I post everything I am doing including thoughts to Twitter and it’s time to change things (at least temporarily). Everyone would love to follow me on Twitter but doesn’t because I post way too much. In fact, while at the Mashable Monthly party on Thursday, over 20 people I spoke to have followed me on Twitter and then said that they stopped due to the volume of tweets. Investigating my Twitter folder within Outlook showed that thousands have followed me but only 950+ remain.

With all of this in mind, I think it’s time to start things anew. I’m not dropping the adamjackson Twitter name but I’m doing things differently every week until I find the right formula.

March 2007 - Today: I have been posting everything that I do and think of on Twitter which equals 23,500 Tweets over the past year.

For the next week, I’ll be posting what I’m doing but no more than one tweet per hour and each Tweet will be encouraging enough to get a reply. I’m feeding for replies not by volume but by integrity of my post. Before, I had tons of replies due to my volume of posts. Now I’ll be doing fun and interesting posts that get replies. This will be going on for a week as an experiment. Wish me luck. Also, I’m going to try to go an entire week without losing a single follower. Since I joined Twitter, it was 10 new followers a day and 8 of those followers would go away quickly. Let’s continue that growth trend without losing a single follower.

This might be interesting.
