How can I get more twitter followers?

[layla]

You don't get a prize for having a lot of followers. People will not like you more or think you are cool because you have many followers. You will gain nothing from a ton of random followers other than crap you don't want to read on your twitter front page every day.

Generally though, to answer your question, some people follow back automatically if you follow them. You can follow companies and they tend to follow back, so maybe follow brands you like (clothes make up stores etc) See if there are people in your email address book who joined twitter and you can follow them and hope they follow you back.

It's really a futile aspiration though.
