Why have i got 4 Twitter followers?

[N.G. Woosh]

You'll get followed on twitter randomly by spam accounts, bots, random people, more spam...

Active users will get added by all of the above, plus be found in twitter searches for key words.

Your friends may find your account by searching for your email address, but my guess is that you don't recognize the people following you or you wouldn't have asked here.

There are plenty of real and active people on twitter that will add you, but there is no escape from spam on the internet.

If you get to using your account and you're looking for some real people, I'm @ngwoosh on twitter. I can also recommend some great people on there to follow.
