Last month I found this by Mikey-San (via Daring Fireball).

An awesome comparison between the relationship from you and your followers on Twitter, and the very principles of world economics. My favorite part:

Given: Following a person’s Twitter feed adds information to your stream. Gaining a follower sends information you produce to another person’s stream. We can elaborate: [...] 7. Once the rich get rich, they always get richer; those with popular feeds continue to snowball followers through little work of their own. (I’m reminded of a saying: “Turning $1 into $100 is work; turning $1 million into $10 million is inevitable.”)
