The Strange World of Twitter

I joined Twitter the other day so that I could follow Glenn Beck and Pioneer Woman. I was curious. In order to "follow" someone you have to open an account, which I did. This, of course, means that I can "twit" about my going's on, but who the heck wants to hear what I've had for breakfast and I finished grading papers? So I've never "twitted." I signed onto the Twitter homepage today to see what Glenn and Pioneer Woman were up to and I was shocked, gobsmacked, baffled, and stumped when it said that I had two followers. I don't know these people. Since I've never twitted I have no idea how they found me. It is strange to say the least. What kind of person would choose to follow a person they have never met and have never read anything that the person has twitted? It's almost creepy enough to cause me to cancel my account, however since I used a pseudo-name and I didn't provide any information in my profile I don't think there is any way that they can really know who I am, so I won't be rash and cancel the account today, but I want it noted that it is slightly disturbing, yet curious.
