Random follow #122 - @CyrisXD

@CyrisXD is one of the good guys of social media.  He is a super tweeter who is well on his way to clocking twitter.  And anyone who can pull off a 3 to 1 ratio of followers to people they follow is totally doing something right.  In order to create that sort of statistic you need to have what we call at business school 'a business proposition'.  That is you tweet stuff that others want to read or you have information that they cant get elsewhere.

In this case CyrisXD is a website developer, gaming genius, social media magnate and a whizz at making gadgets.  So pretty much every online persons fave go to resource for when things go wrong.  Add on to that impressive list of things that he can (almost do with his eyes closed) the fact that he built http://twitchur.com/ and you pretty much get the picture.  He has his finger on the pulse and keeps twitter and his followers abreast of developments and new happenings in the online world of web spaces etc.

But don't be fooled!  Oh no!  This guy is also some kind of cool and also a whole lot of funny as well.  Here are a random assortment of tweets from within a 24 hour period - 

The funny bits.  "Now that Kim Kardashian's pregnant stomach is proportionate to her ass, the earth's rotating axis can now return to normal."

Being straight up.  "Companies, listen to your customers and Reddit. If there’s 3k people who are unhappy with your service, there’s obviously something wrong."

More jokes. "If babies are delivered by storks then are gay babies delivered by fabulous flamingos?"

The innovator. "I'm too lazy to read my .NET book, so I have the screen reader, reading it to me out loud while I sit here nodding."

The ooze of sarcasm. "Nothing says "I've been caught drunk driving" like a middle aged fat guy riding a bicycle to work."

Add to that mix of tweets a whole lot of interactions and news updates about online stuff and you get the picture.  He is a straight shooting, take no bull, tell it like it is kind of tweeter.  I wouldn't say you're taking a risk in hitting the follow in the negative at all.  I would however say you are taking a positive risk in that your timeline will become filled with sharp, witty and interesting tweets.  Its up to you whether or not you take that risk.  I have.  And everything has come up peachy.
