Allegiance as an online community indicator

On Christmas eve, 2009, Josie Fraser (now at http://www.josiefraser.com/) Did a Twitter poll of 100 of her followers to see if, by following her, they had connected to her enough to have some sort of allegiance. I found this humorous AND fascinating, but clearly never got around to blogging about it. I kept the draft because it fit with the tag that I still love, Community Indicators. Community indicators are things that provide evidence of our connection and continuity through community interaction and engagement. What comes of these connections? Just compost, or growth?

SocialTech: Twitter allegiance
I invited 100 of my 1,276 current Twitter followers to fill in a quick survey cunningly designed to provide a fairly wonky measure of community allegiance.

Josie’s folks clearly liked her then, back in the good old, kinder, smaller Twitter days. I wonder what would happen if you repeated your poll, Josie? (I’ll have to Tweet a link out with this!)

I often fondly think of the 7-10 people who still regularly read my blog. I would do many of the things Josie asked for you!!!

Happy Holidays
