Here's one way to gain a lot of Twitter friends instantly: teach a large group of non-Twitter users how to use the service.

1. Text 40404 with the term: join

2. Reply to the confirmation with a username of your choice.

3. Reply to that message with the following message: follow edkohler

Then, sit back and watch the friend confirmations flow in.
