According to Robert Moore of RJ Metrics, "a on-demand database analytics and business intelligence startup that helps online businesses measure, manage, and monetize better", who published on TechCrunch a well-detailed article on Twitter data from an investor' s perspective, I belong to the smallest portion of Twitter users, with more than 500 followers, over 500 updates, and more than 3,200 tweets sent (excluding the 1,400+ tweets from auto-RT of @FiberNews).
Now the question is: how do I monetize my status ? ;-)
I strongly recommend that you read this article: it's full of interesting informations on how people do use Twitter. For Marketeers of all sorts, that's a gold mine.
I wish i had more followers, I believe that content is king, you get lots of followers if you attach them with you, there should be guide that anticipate them to call for action., I know it's long route but it's worthwhile

Martin : the question is, why do you want more followers ? Personally, I've started using Twitter as every new tool that comes up on the market: to test it and see what I could do with it. I never thought about getting hundreds of followers on board.
What I did to reach the 700+ followers threshold : RT and/or engage discussion with superstars e.g. Robert Scoble or Guy Kawasaki, tweet industry news, auto-RT my own RSS feeds for a while, etc.
Don't know if it's worthwhile, however it's fun and productive.
Good luck !
