It's a bit embarrassing if you ask me that the Ron Paul Institute has only a measly 900 followers on Twitter.

Let's make a statement. Let's show that RPF has got some sway. Let's push it over 1000 (at least).

Follow: @RonPaulInstitut (https://twitter.com/RonPaulInstitut)

Bump this thread.

It's notable the Twitter refused the NSA. Take that for what it's worth.

And it's easy to set up an account.

I've got so much stuff on my page to read I don't know where to start. Great way to keep up with the news.

On the @RonPaulForums twitter page (~9K followers) I twitted: "Simple request: follow @RonPaulInstitut - retweet this request. #ronpaul #tlot"

It seemed to help. :)

Bump this thread.

The reason for low followers is this entity is not following back (and actually many of the Ron Paul sites are the same) I for one don't follow people/groups that don't follow back. I require reciprocal relationships. This is for practical reasons too. If you don't follow back, you waste a slot for someone who does and twitter has some very strange algorithms for how many followers/followees are permitted.

So I suggest you talk to the owners about their followback philosophy and if they change and follow back people who follow let me/us know and we'll give them another look.

I don't get that at all. It's not a reciprocal relationship.

Exactly.
And, if you want to get hold of someone, just @theirname and they will get it (or DM them).
For those that are new see the @Connect tab and you can tell when people follow or RT you, or mention you.

I have opened a "twitter" during the election just for bumping Ron Paul, but I absolutely HATE twitter (and facebook and etc.) not just because of the data mining, but also because of the incredible waste of time they are. I get way more "information" than I could ever want or need and really, it takes time from my life that I could be using constructively.

That said, I hope you all get those twitter numbers up.

I can see how for some twitter can seem a waste of time, but it absolutely isn't for people who can amass a following.

Probably because twitter is like that kid who wants friends, but really isn't very cool.

You hang out with him sometimes because every once in a while he shows you something cool, but most of the time he's just an outdated and limiting form of information dissemination, metaphorically speaking of course.

Yeah, that must be why hashtags show up on so many television shows and tweets get mentioned in practically half of the news stories.

900 followers on twitter isn't that bad, considering it hasn't been around that long and there has been virtually no advertisement of it at all.

Everything by default is public on twitter already.

I bet the NSA's computer programs read that tweet. Everything on twitter is public by default.

The same media that has pushed facebook on people is the same media that is pushing twitter as well. Twitter is great for news, but it definitely serves a purpose for the elite or they wouldn't mention it.

Is your motivation monetary? Even as an end game, if not immediate. If so, I understand.

If it is just dick waving, then that seems like another reason not to be a twit. Pardon me if that is offensive as I don't get the twitter thing from the view of the uncompensated individual.
