I think that Kris is a sweetie from what I have seen. A little shy, humble. But, watching this interview..... Lindsay Parker has to really struggle to move the interview along. Kris is NOT a talker. Can't help but contrast with an interview with Adam. That flows like a natural conversation between friends, rather than the interviewer trying to elicit a statement. We all know what a great conversationalist Adam is. Not intending to slam Kris. Different personalities. I love listening to Adam. I feel slightly uncomfortable listening to Kris --- like he'd prefer not to be doing the interview. Still, I wish him all the best. Link to Kris's interview below, and a Lindsay interview with Adam. new.music.yahoo.com/blogs/realityrocks/422470/kris-allens-career-grows-gigantic-with-first-acting-role/ |

And, Mr. Chamillionaire (who seems to really be a statistician) believes that 10% of ones followers are really actively following. I have actually thought about this when thinking about sales for some artists, like Katy Perry, KE$HA, Gaga and the ratio seems to make sense, to me. :-/ There are certain bots that are marketing bots. Marketing people follow whomever the bots follow. And if you are followed by people that don't clean out their account (most don't b/c they like the follower count), then the bots they have follow you too. So it definitely snowballs. The marketing bots are out in full force these days. Since the beginning of the year I have blocked AT LEAST 15 bots a week. Before that it was about 5-10 a week. Sometimes I don't block them and they either disappear b/c they delete their accts or unfollow you b/c you haven't followed back. Last week I got a couple of gay porn bots. I was curious what would happen if I didn't block them. Just as I thought - more gay porn bots. Chamillionaire's guess of 10% is probably accurate. edit: I just looked at my followers. I got six followers overnight (I guess 15/wk was a low estimate). All of them are marketing. In a few minutes they will be blocked. In the beginning of the year I ran a program that tells who you've blocked. I have blocked over 800 accounts. Just imagine the junk in the accounts of people with thousands of followers. I don't block bots because I could care less about follower numbers (I check mine once every few weeks and don't remember what it was before, so I don't know if they've gone up or down). I don't bother to block them because why waste the time or energy? If they want to read my Adam flail, well, no skin off my nose. Adam would have to be blocking bots at the speed of light if he bothered to care. He has far more important things to do, of course. I follow several people, Steve Martin, Rob Thomas, Denis Leary, George Michael, among others, who's tweets I enjoy reading, but am not particularly invested in. It doesn't matter. These "additional people" are at least the moderately interested audience that might be swayed one way or the other. At least they are paying attention. Also, for professional accounts, there are many people in media, music and marketing likely that follow Adam for professional reasons. On my RL account, I follow more than 250 people (and that account is sorely neglected), but they are primarily professional contacts or companies that are at least peripherally in the same region/industry/demographic my company targets. |

Thank you mia for the translation.  Aww it's so sweet that they recognize them on the streets. I bet they're having the time of their lives. And why shouldnt they!!! Katri seems to have a deep connection with Sauli not just the business connection and this is very rare in this business.Good for both of them. Sure hope so, gelly!! Thanks Mia!! That article is so much fun. The two of them have such pleasant vibes, that no wonder their video is so much fun to watch, even if we don't understand a word they are saying. |

It definitely requires energy. I go to my followers often (a couple of times a week) because I usually follow back (when I recognize the name or can tell it's not a bot). And when I see those bots, I feel like the floor is dirty and I have to sweep it. Also, when I let the bots pile up, I get spam tweets. Now that I have a smart phone I hate getting notifications just to find out it's spam. |

I like to wait and read the translation before I watch the show so I have some idea what they are talking about. I like to think *I am not cray* because I do not print out the transcript to read as I watch lol - |
