Hey, thanks for your interest, dreadwench Even with low number of followers you can still join the group. Here is what you need to do. You can increase the number of followers by simply following others. Follow members of the #IDRTG group and some members will follow you back. Some of their followers will also follow you. Click on this link to follow our group members: http://twitter.com/#!/innovatty/idrtg/members Make sure you update your profile image (avatar) and bio to indicate that you're a developer. This will encourage more followers. Good luck and thanks again
