Do Twitter Follwer Figures mean anything?

I signed up to http://www.socialoomph.com/ aka www.tweetlater.com with in hours I had four more followers:

Sandy Shaw (betteragain)
4079 followers
1 tweet
following 3695 people


Theodore Hall (TwitToGrowth)
6083 followers
4 tweets
following 5730 people


Lynette Asmar (whymeditate)
6351 followers
92 tweets
following 5545 people


Greg Price (PersuasionPower)
4676 followers
0 tweets
following 4516 people

ALL with common traits : thousands of followers and following about the same number BUT they've only sent a few tweets, a very few tweets.

So how can so many people be attracted to these folk (BTW I've never heard of them) when they seem to be saying next to nothing - one PersuasionPower - has actually tweeted NOTHING yet has 4,676 followers!?

What is going on , who is cheating who...and why ? Could http://www.socialoomph.com/ aka www.tweetlater.com be to blame ?
