The Tale of Two Twitter Accounts

I joined Twitter about a year ago when I started at Mahalo.com, I saw our CEO Jason Calacanis was always "tweeting" updates about the website so I figured it might be a great resource to get news from the boss, since I work remotely. The @jeffhoard isn't anything special, my tweets are pretty lame but I like that I am connected with most of the people I deem important in my corner of the web so it's a great resource for me.

When Kalane and I started Idiocracy Index we thought about the fact that we would be finding more stories then we could ever blog, so we setup a Twitter account to tweet idiocy, and added a huge feed to our blog. The feed is great because it means our website provides fresh information even if we haven't added a blog post. What really surprised me was the quick Twitter response, check out the follower count in less than a month, it's already surpassed my year old account. Join the insanity and follow @iidiocracy
