Great points Jun! As you know, I did a post on this yesterday.
I'm amazed at how each network goes mainstream everyone wants to get on it. Someone will follow me on Twitter. When I go to their Twitter profile, they're following 1,200 but only have 50 followers! It is all about quality not quantity as you say.

Time for me to do some research!
