Episode Transcript
Welcome to brain Stuff from House stuff works dot com
where smart happens. I am Marshall Brain with today's question,
what is the best way to get followers for a
Twitter account or a Facebook page? Today's question is just
(00:22):
a little different because I don't actually know the answer yet. Instead,
what I will be doing is performing a set of
experiments with a virgin Facebook account and a virgin Twitter
account to see which techniques work and don't work when
it comes to bringing in followers. You can find the
Twitter account at Twitter dot com slash brain stuff hs W.
(00:46):
At this exact moment, the Twitter dot com slash brain
stuff hs W account has a hundred and twenty followers.
The Facebook account is at Facebook dot com slash brain stuff.
This account has a hundred and nineteen followers at this
exact instant. Both of these accounts are brand new, and
this podcast is really the first of a series of experiments.
(01:10):
The experiment today is if you announce a new Twitter
and Facebook account on a podcast, do any of your
podcast listeners start following you? Today is May two thousand
and ten, so you can look at both accounts over
time and see exactly what happens is I do these
different experiments. As I do other experiments, I'll write them
(01:33):
up in the brain Stuff blog and post them on
the Twitter and Facebook accounts, and if any of them
really work, I'll also echo them here in the podcast. Again.
The Twitter account is at Twitter dot com slash brain
stuff HSW. It's not just brain stuff, It's brain Stuff HSW.
On Twitter, and on Facebook it is Facebook dot com
(01:54):
slash brain stuff once again, Twitter dot com slash brain
stuff HSW and face easbook dot com slash brain stuff.
Feel free to follow or just pop in to look
at the accounts and see how this experiment is going
over the next several days. It will be very interesting
to see what happens. Do you have any ideas or
(02:14):
suggestions for this podcast? If so, please send me an
email at podcast at how stuff works dot com. For

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
