At first, I remember wondering, why do we even need such a thing, but in time, I’ve come to appreciate and respect the efforts behind Planet PowerShell and its Twitter feed. As I’ve stated previously, I’ve used Twitter for years for the PowerShell content it’s been able to provide. In many ways, the content available on Twitter via the PowerShell hashtag, has taught me a part of what I know about PowerShell. Twitter alone seemed like enough at first, but when Mike F. Robbins suggested I included my blog on Planet PowerShell, I took it as a compliment; I wasn’t about to say no. In time, I’ve come to see the benefit.
I can’t tell you exactly how long the posts on my personal site have been Tweeted by Planet PowerShell, but it has easily improved my numbers. While I’m not obsessed with my visitor count, I do appreciate to see those numbers go up for the simple fact that I’m continuing to give back to the community, and that others can benefit from my old friend — learning PowerShell in part, thanks to Twitter.
Yesterday morning, I Tweeted the following:
If you’re not following @planetpshell and you’re in the #PowerShell community, or using and learning PowerShell, then you ought to be. There’s no reason this account shouldn’t have greater than 1,000 followers. RT, and help push it upward. It’s a great source for new PS content.

In a about a half of a day’s time, the follower count for Planet PowerShell was up by 50 new followers (758 to 808). As of today, it’s now at over 100. It currently has over 860 followers with the hope it would break past 1,000, total followers. Therefore, since this post will be posted to Twitter by Planet PowerShell, Tweet this post. I’m hopefully we can get 1,000 followers. Additionally, if you have a PowerShell blog, head over the the website and get yourself added. Share you secrets, tips, and tricks with as many people as you can.
