Most of you who know me pretty well or at least check this blog every now and know that I am a huge fan of Twitter. A large chunk of time in my day is spent using the service, either through the web portal, my blackberry, or several different clients that I use to access it, including TwitterGadget (Twitter client in a Gmail gagdet) and TweetDeck (Adobe AIR-based Twitter client).

Although I use the service a lot (posting a lot of updates on a regular basis, usually around 10 a day), I don’t have very many followers. I’m not a hugely popular blogger, entrepreneur, or writer. I just use the service because it’s fun, and occasionally I encounter someone who is humored by my updates, which are usually about the random things I encounter in my day-to-day life.

So you can imagine my shock when I open up gmail and see a huge influx of emails detailing information on some new followers.

While 12 in one day does seem like a big deal to most of you, it is a big deal when you only had 65 when the day started. I’m trying to investigate the cause of the sudden influx of followers…but I have no idea where to start.

If there is anyone who has a deep knowledge of the Twitter community, drop a comment here or email me: kyle (at) kyleleboeuf(dot)com
