@IpsosMORIScot reaches 1,000 followers on Twitter!

We recently reached the 1,000 followers milestone on Twitter. Since taking our first, tentative step into the twitterverse on the 30th July 2010, our following and use of Twitter has gone from strength to strength. It initially took us three months to reach our first 100 followers and another month to double that. We then set ourselves a target of reaching 1,000 followers by the end of 2011, which we have comfortably achieved – even if we did teeter on 999 followers for what felt like an eternity.
