“Twitistics” are just mind-candy

Not all "Twitistics" are meainingful, most are are simply "mind-candy"
Over the last few weeks, I’ve read tweets from various tweeters proclaiming the size of their follower list, the number of direct messages they have, and percentages of this and that. I’d be lying if I didn’t say that, from time to time, I felt a bit of follower envy, however, after some thought and discussion with Jacqueline Ng, I wondered what the big deal was. Do these stats really mean anything?
