How do I know some one is following me on twitter?

Well well, I am getting the bug which till now I have tried my best to avoid. So I joined twitter and like everybody else, I wanted to I wanted to follow everyone and everyone wants to follow me.

So what I did is I started with one of my friend and went to his follower. Then I started adding some of his friend to follow him. I was expecting some people to follow me too. But I build a list of people whom I am following but few are following me. So I decided to pull out the plug on most of these people. So I do it.

Here's a simple way to do it.
1. First go to the person "X" profile.
2. On the right hand side if you see "Actions: message username" then that user is following you.

If not, than the person is not following you. So you can get rid of them.

There are many people who have developed small API code for this and put on the web for other's to use it.

Here's the one I use sometime (sorry, I find the first one simple and easy).

Adding TweetThis to your blog.

After reading some blogs, I saw that I should add this useful button on my blog and share it with people too as I like bloggers to come to my page for tips and suggestions and what they are looking for.

So here’s the first way to add this Tweetthis Button at the bottom of the post

1. On your Blogger Dashboard, click the Layout link for the blog you want to add the button to.

2. At the top of the Layout page, click the link for Edit HTML.

3. Where it says "Backup/Restore Template", click the link that says "Download Full Template" and save the .xml file to your hard drive. This file will help you restore your template, in case anything goes wrong.

4. In the "Edit Template" section, check the box at the top right that says "Expand Widget Templates".

5. Use your browser's search function to find this line:
<data:post.body/>
6. Below this post this piece of code as shown below.
