3) Have Ken retweet you. (Note: Ken follows a couple of thousand people, so you have to be sure that you tweet at the point where he happens to be looking at Twitter, or you'll never be seen.)
4) Have Neil (neilhimself) happen to be looking at Twitter at the same time and decide it was worth sharing. (Note: Neil only follows about 865 people, so his timeline is less swamped. But more swamped than mine - I follow about 700 people, and if I miss something by more than half an hour I aint never gonna see it).
