I dont usually bring it up, but curious - am I the only one who finds a blurb like this a bit unseemly:

  If you enjoyed this post, I’d be humbled if you’d follow me on Twitter.


I think it's an intentional play on the infamous "you should follow me on twitter" sign-off popularized by Dustin Curtis[1] and propagated by bloggers who don't understand the limitations of split-testing.

It struck me as a little strange, as most people say they'd be honored to have your attention, not humbled.
