Molly’s Top Five Tips to Gaining Twitter Market Share
The other day I was asked by someone how I was gaining “market share” on Twitter. Apparently, they were impressed by the number of followers I’d gathered, and wanted to know what it was I was doing to get them.
So here are Molly’s (aka @mollydotcom in Twitter speak) top suggestions on how to gain market share on Twitter.
- Create a user CSS file that sets the Twitter Follower link to display: none;
- Choose a Twitter client that doesn’t show how many followers you actually have, or makes it difficult to find that information
- Never, ever seek out your numbers or stats using Twitter stats tools
- Only follow those people you genuinely are interested in
- Don’t believe the hype. It’s love, not money, that makes the world go ’round
Yes, it’s really that simple.

DailyShow HTML for Video
Dear Jon Stewart,
I am an adoring fan who has followed your career since you first started doing talk shows on the Comedy Channel some 15 or more years ago.
You are a funny, well-educated, articulate man whom I consider to be a true American Hero.
All the fangirl worship aside, can you use your political influence to improve The DailyShow Web site? While HTML might not be your forte’, oh holy moly this code is so filled with bad bad things that it requires immediate diplomatic assistance.
Love always,
Molly
And now, the code
Now, dear readers, what do you think of this lovely embed video code? I mean, really.
