		<description>Hello James, 

We are all just learning and we need to understand that no one just getting into Social Networking is going to know what works and what doesn&#039;t yet. That takes testing over time.

		<description>They are not losing power so much as finding their place. There are too many and each user must figure out which specific networks best meet their needs. 

While it is fashionable to blame SEOs for many issues the basic reason for SEO is to make it easier for us to find exactly what we want to find when searching. That is a good thing. 

Some SEOs do that in unethical ways and that is unfortunate but SEOs in general and search engine optimization itself is not a bad thing. The search engines and especially the big G doesn&#039;t like it because they favor the big brands and using SEO small businesses can be found and succeed.

		<description>You don&#039;t have to follow everyone but if you don&#039;t want to listen to someone why should they listen to you? We can use Twitter lists to focus on Tweets from specific sub-groups of our followers while following them. 

I suspect by their actions that Twitter&#039;s focus is on how many users and followers there are because they have pressured companies that offer solutions allowing us to unfollow inactive users to remove that function.

		<description>Hello Brian, 

Only someone who is famous is likely to have millions of followers at Twitter. You can have thousands if you use Twitter lists to filter who you interact with there.
