Though Google ranks next to Yahoo , Google is the most promising company and they are concentrating more on Google Labs where the new products from Google takes their tests. And Google search engine is the most popular search engine along with Yahoo and MSN Live Search. Most of us dont know many hidden commands which gives a lot of information from the searc results of Google. I would like to present some of them. Observe clearly the syntax , ie, the usage of semicolon.

• define:word -- This gives the definitions of the word in various languages from web . Look at an example, define:science . This gives the definitions related to science.
• books "book name" -- This gives the information on the book you provided. For example:, book "The Da vinci Code" . Click the link to understand the link.

You are on twitter and you have one follower and that too he is your friend. Are you feeling bad? Ya its obvious that on a social networking site the number of friends counts heavily. Its a great feeling to have so many followers.Right? or You are some commercial blogger and wants to spread your website via twitter, So you need lots of followers to get your site noticed. In both the cases the final conclusion is you need many followers.

But , Think , if some one want to follow you should be either one of the following

1. You are his friend
2. You are absolutely good at making friends with your great communication skills
3. You are a celebrity
4. You are some genius

ok etc etc...



But you are none among the above. So here is a simple , working and justified method. This method is of mutual gaining.

Just go on adding ie., follow people heavily. A person from a social networking site is such that if you follow him , there is more probabilty (more than 0.6) that he will follow you. Its tested successfully by various people. TechMillion started with 1 follower on twitter. Within last 2 hours I got some 60 odd followers just by adding 300 members in ten minutes. So ten minutes of my time earned me 60 followers till now and is increasing. I expect the number will become 200 odd. So dont try some complex stuff to increase your followers. Its simple if some one should follow you , You should follow him.

This process of gaining many followers gives you a boost. It can be continued so on. But if you really have some good relations or good content in case of web masters. The number will increase automatically from there.

But Remember one thing , this is a thumb rule you should not forget "If some one follows You , Dont forget to Follow him "

I hope I will continue writing about Twitter in the coming articles. If you are not convinced with my views you are welcome to give your comments.
