We all know it's about the relationships because we are here everyday in those relationships. An audience who hears the word "worthless" before they hear the words "going out of your way," might just say it's all worthless and throw it away. How many times have you gone to a conference and heard concerns about time wasting, or Social Media not being "real work, or really productive?" Those just grate on me. I fear Seth might allow those concerns to be validated in the way he answers the question. Then again, he is Seth Godin, and I most definitely am not. Probably just my interpretation...

For a person who's trying to go quality over quantity, I must admit that it can be hard at times to form those relationships. This is just based on the fact that forming the relationships via social media often isn't an face-to-face thing, and sometimes it is tough to get noticed in the crowd. @Ben Lumley – I agree, many people who have thousands of followers on Twitter do value quantity over quality.
