Why I think I'm not popular on twitter and dont try to be the next scoble

I hope this doesn't bother a certain someone but my last three posts where inspired by a great couple of emails. (leaving said party anonymous). Recent question:

Thanks! So why aren't you more "popular" on Twitter or whatever? If that is the right phrasing.. I would think you should be a social phenomenon. Frankly, I think ppl like Victoria Belmont are totally overrated.

To be honest I filter my followers. I don't keep any of my posts private, but if people add me that seem sketchy then I block them. Also I dont try to be the next scoble Im not and not everything I say is business a lot is personal. I went biking or I had fun with Cory (@ivesdigital) ect. Some people don't want to hear that, plus I do talk a lot on there.. and I don't know if that is a good thing or a deterant for some. I don't think I've ever lost any followers though from talking too much, mostly I've been told time and again that if I say its important most people seem to use me as the rule of thumb for networks. If I invite you it's probably a good thing for YOU. Which wasn't always the case... when I first started I invited my whole address book to over 30 networks... needless to say my dad wasn't pleased (@gregv but he never twitters except to respond to me).
