All of the normal twitterers I follow and look for, where still twittering. Aside from the "numbers" being down - everything seemed normal. Could it be that Twitter just messed with the following/follower numbers on purpose just to get things stirred up and give everybody something to hype up?

I had never heard of Barabasi or his book before your post but your analysis and application of his Scale-free concept is DEAD ON (and a much more intellectual exposition of my corn cob pipe discussions!). On a purely surface level I love: "No matter how hard Twitter tries they have been unable to unseat Scoble, Arrington, Calacanis, Owyang and others." and "t’s like the crazy girlfriend. You like being with her because she’s hot but you really love telling your friends the crazy stories." Good stuff... Tac,
