Definitely a debate around this topic. I was thinking about staying in single digits with $9.99 as a price point. ;) The goal would be to sell 1,000 copies... $10k. Greg, I have a follow everyone policy and screen / block after my tweet stream gets filled up with spam by individual users. To me, its easier that way. I see the demand for this type of information... and think that some good could come from it with the money going to charity. -chris Peter,

Greg,

I have a follow everyone policy and screen / block after my tweet stream gets filled up with spam by individual users. To me, its easier that way.

I see the demand for this type of information… and think that some good could come from it with the money going to charity.

I think that if your goal is to increase your follower count, and you can do it while generating funds for a worthy cause, go for it! In my mind, the real question is why to have a large follower count in the first place . . . who is it you want to reach and why? That's why I don't autofollow, BUT I do spend time every day looking at every person who's followed me. And unless they're spammers or get-rich-quickers, I generally follow them back. But the people I proactively follow all have the same reason - we share some interest, and I'm likely to be interested in what they say. And there's no autofollow that I know of to guarantee that.

Lots of static being generated. I'll steer clear of your Machiavellian question; perhaps you should address "what is a fair price?" next... :) Hi Chris

I’ll steer clear of your Machiavellian question; perhaps you should address “what is a fair price?” next… :)
