<p>Like everyone else I get daily emails saying so and so is following me on twitter and then I have to make the decision do I follow them back?  Are they just a spammer or maybe they don't say much that you would be interested or maybe they say to much?</p>
<p><a href="http://www.followcost.com">Follow Cost</a> is here to help you determine what kind of noise you are gonna get by adding this person to your twitter feed by measuring in milliscobles (see explination below).</p>
<blockquote><p>A person's follow cost is calculated in terms of milliscobles, named after technology personality and prolific Twitterer Robert Scoble.</p>
<p>One milliscoble is defined as 1/1000th of the average daily Twitter status updates by Robert Scoble.</p></blockquote>
<p>When I put in jeffisageek to check my follow cost it spit back 7.44 (Daily Average) or 351.00 milliscobles how does this compare to others?  Lets look at my fellow broadcasters from <a href="http://thesocialgeeks.com/">The Social Geeks Podcast</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Daily Average</strong><br />
<a href="http://twitter.com/corvida">Corvida</a> - 18.88<br />
<a href="http://twitter.com/louisgray">Louis Gray</a> - 3.70<br />
<a href="http://twitter.com/sarahintampa">Sarah Perez</a> - 5.16<br />
<a href="http://twitter.com/waynesutton">Wayne Sutton</a> -20.65<br />
<a href="http://twitter.com/idonotes">Chris Miller</a> - 5.79<br />
<a href="http://twitter.com/calebelston">Caleb Elston</a> - 2.09</p>
<p>Now is this a tool that is gonna take over the interweb?  No.  Is it a fun little thing to maybe see which of your friends creates the most noise on twitter? Yes.</p>
<p>Check out your Follow Cost and post it up on the comments</p>
