@PhilosophyExp I thought I was the only one who found it so!
Okay, so this thing where somebody says something nice about you on Twitter, and then you retweet it.... That's... well, curious behavior.

@BrianMcleish I sometimes wonder if people with large numbers of followers see the RT as sort of thanking the person. -
@PhilosophyExp More like saying to your followers "look! This person who has more followers and is therefore way cooler than us likes me!" -
@MischaWilmers Yes, that's true. I was mainly thinking of it the other way around - where somebody who already has a "name"...

@PhilosophyExp You got to over 4000 followers without any self promotion in or outside Twitter? Society demands it. -
@MischaWilmers I don't really know how I got to 4000 visitors, but it wasn't by self-promotion (because I do the bare minimum). -
@PhilosophyExp Well that was a subtle form of self-promotion in itself because it implies your journey to Twitter stardom is meritorious. -
@MischaWilmers A sense in which merely participating on Twitter is self-promoting (certainly publishers expect social media engagement).

@PhilosophyExp If you tweeted something nice I'd retweet as you have 4000 followers so it logically follows you're cool.#TwitterLogic -
@MischaWilmers I'm about as far from being "cool" as it's possible to get. But I've enjoyed our conversation. :)
