		<description>.... side notes....
I really do not watch the Hills and I am content with the fact that I will never reach 1M followers like Ashton. I also do not follow Oprah- but love her. 

I also tend to agree with you about the following aspect. Ever so often I feel the need to go through who I&#039;m following and click unfollow.

Favorite part about this...  

&quot;As I’ve gotten more and more followers I have become more selective in who I follow. I want relationships and engagement. If I met you in person I would want to know at least one thing about you (that isn’t common knowledge) so we could have a conversation.&quot;

		<description>My favorite person on The Hills HAS to be Heidi! OMGoodness!

I totally agree, but I start to fixate on my numbers as they get close to certain marks...you can&#039;t help but get excited about that first 1,000...I know it&#039;s bad!

Engagement is far more important than numbers.  Numbers for numbers sake is a hollow pursuit.  When you think about it, it&#039;s an insatiable activity because there will always be more people to add.  Though I do think it&#039;s important to have a certain critical mass of followers to attain it, you can benefit, learn and grow from the interaction you have with a faction of the 1 million followers Ashton has.</description>
