it's always nice to read about how ppl make it big in the real world. In this case, it takes creative, attractive content and the right connections.

Oh look at me. I got X number of people following me on twitter.

That pretty much the reason why I loath that social networking site. Every one seems to boast on how many people that are "following" them.

and really who cares? they are just numbers anyways. like the people who kill themselves and thier computers over 3dmark scores. or the warcrack addicts who can't stfu about thier level 80 DK. Most people's lives lack real fuffilment.

in the article's senario, its about creating an opportunity to be profitable. after reaching a high level of followers, the person was able to sign a deal to publish a book. I wouldn't be surprised if marketers are beating this person's door.
