We're trying to create leaders right?
Well, I'm glad I'm a follower......
I'm not sure why the Twitter geniuses chose the term "Follower" over other nouns. Can't you just imagine everyone in the room brainstorming the perfect word to portray connectedness.

apostle
believer
companion
copycat
disciple
fan
minion
sidekick
supporter
In certain relationships on Twitter certain words apply better than follower. For example:
-Dave Burgess has pirate minions (@burgessdave)
-2 Guys and some iPads are each other's sidekicks (@techminock and @techbradwaid)
-The 3 Tech Ninjas have disciples (@techninjastacey & @techninjatodd)
-Angela Maiers makes us all believers (@Angelamaiers)
-George Couros, Adam Bellow, and Erin Klein all have amazing fans (@gcouros, @adambellow, @KleinErin)
I even thought about tweeting Adam Bellow after his ISTE keynote:
"Hated the Keynote by @AdamBellow - who wears those shoes!" just as a joke but I knew I'd be swarmed with crazy tweets in reply. I really did love the keynote by the way - very inspirational!
If followers are present that must mean leaders are too. Because leaders and followers have a mutualistic relationship. See it says so right here:

We all have our own leadership style and that's what makes Twitter so incredible. It allows for so many leaders to be connected everyday which is amazing because

supporter
and mostly, I'm glad I'm your FOLLOWER!
