Fwd: Bruce Schneier RSS is now following you on Twitter!

So I just put a twitter widget on my phone and I decided to start following some people on my long forgotten twitter account to make the widget useful, and then:

The world's foremost expert on security, Bruce Schneier, re-follows me. 

Totally cool! Except I don't really tweet.  And even if I did, I would have nothing of import for such a person to read.

Now I feel impotent and unimportant.  Seriously, the most I could offer this man is a waste of his time.  Surely he has better things to do than read any of the dick jokes that I might tweet.

Holy shit, there are only 700 other people in the world following him?  Why isn't the entirety of the TSA following Mr. Schneier?  Or the NSA, the CIA, the FBI, the Mossad, or every other law-enforcement/intelligence agency in the world?

What the fuck is wrong with everyone?  Do they get secret twitter feeds where they're not counted in the subscriber listings? 

I don't think I know anyone who doesn't know who Bruce Schneier is (or who doesn't own a copy of Applied Crytography, or who isn't subscribed to the Crypto-Gram), so where the hell are all his followers?

C'mon, even @oldwhitemansays has 42k followers.  

Now I really hate twitter.
