Still wondering why people follow me on Twitter

Last year, I wrote a couple of posts exploring the reasons why people follow me on Twitter:

Well a year has passed since I did that basic research, and Twitter has been 'improved' in the meantime - revised ReTweet function, Lists, new desktop and mobile application, etc.

So it's time to ask that question again. In the last year, I've doubled the number of followers, but since I did my last bit of research, I've not asked them why they follow. Time to rectify that.

Starting tomorrow, I'll go back to the process I used to gather the first bit of data -- a return follow and DM to my new followers -- something like this:

"thanks for following me. This is NOT an auto-DM, I'm live :) and tracking 'reach' and was wondering why you 'follow' me in Twitter?"

I'll let it run for a few months, and come March, I'll analyse the data again, and contrast the results with last year's.

But in the meantime, if you already follow me on Twitter, please feel free to send me a DM with your answer to the question "Why do you follow me in Twitter?"
