Every now and then some random person starts following me on Twitter and every now and then some random person adds me to their friends list on Facebook.

Watson, a clue!”

I’ll start with an experiment. I will be adding one hundred people on my friends list on Facebook and I’ll follow ome hundred different people on Twitter. What’s the situation right now? Being a moderate user of both services this is what I have:

Facebook: 165 Friends, Twitter: 45 Following, 84 Followers

People I pick will be pseudo-random. I will check if they are active and they don’t appear as a spam bot on Twitter. On Facebook I’ll start with friends of my friends and people from various groups and invitations to all sorts of events. I will try to keep people as different as possible adding males and females of all ages and interest groups. I’ll be posting follow-ups on twitter #twmkd so you can keep track of the progress.

It starts now!
