The 10k Twitter Target

[Mike Parker]

Lately, we've seen a steadily increasing trend of new followers 
on Twitter. We're closing in on the totally arbitrary yet 
emotionally significant number of 10,000. I was just thinking how 
cool it would be to hit that number before or during DConf.

Now that my move is behind me and I'm settling in to my new 
house, I have more time to stay on top of things (note that 
"more" does not necessarily equate to "enough"). I'll try to keep 
the tweet stream more active than usual over the coming two+ 
weeks, even while I'm bopping around Germany in the week prior to 
the conference.

If you have a Twitter handle, it would help us out to retweet 
anything interesting you see on @D_Programming. If you aren't 
following us, it would help us out even more for you to become a 
statistic! Let's see if we can turn that 9,781 (as I write this) 
into 10,000 before the Hackathon.
