If you @reply others they will often talk back to you and their followers will see them reply to you and often will click to find out who you are. Also, try to post things that others will retweet because the best way to get the word out to lots of people is via retweeting. The point is that although lots of people could ultimately read what you said, it's just not going to be the kinds of numbers some people are imagining.

How do you be "successful" if you're not really reaching anyone? I'm sure there is some benefit, but the problem you show here makes lots of sense and is very discouraging. great point! therefore, I would like to see several case studies of successful twitter social media marketing campaigns.
