If you want interaction with your posts, provide interaction with other people's posts. It doesn't really work on Twitter, but it works extremely well here.
Don't worry about "follow backs." Many people keep an eye on the Firehose and mostly block topics they don't want to see rather than getting so many people on their Friends lists that they've just created a second firehose.
@EileenKCarpenter thank you so much
