I’ve met so many business people who don’t “get” Twitter – but decide to have some “expert” set up an auto-RSS-feed into Twitter. Then they wonder why nothing’s happening.

My personal favorite are those social media “experts” – and I don’t mean any of the really big guys – who don’t respond to an @xxx message or even provide a thank you for RTs and mentions. Talk about a lack of authenticity….Regarding getting blocked: Number 1 on your list is the killer: So many spammers get onto Twitter and begin sending a link to x-Twitter accounts. Invariably those spammers are gone the next day, but it’s irritating.

“Don’t be selfish! If I care enough to retweet you,
you should be able to do the same or else you don’t deserve me
following you and I will eventually block you. Sharing is caring and
retweeting is as well. ” and the overall criteria: “Twitter is about give and take.” if only peoples did following at least those twos… :D

But when I have to wade through the tweets of someone who posts from sunup to sundown, it is really frustrating. First of all, I feel that is selfish and says me, me, me. No one has that much to say or offer. It is a brazen attempt to garner attention by over-tweeting. Second, it is also an obvious attempt to quickly gain followers by a single mention of someone. Then they are forgotten.

The quality of your followers, not the quantity, is what really matters. Those that think they are wonderful because they have thousands of followers are misinformed. Unless you are Justin Bieber or some celebrity. Any spammer can be your follower. I block those people or those who write about porn, etc. Or who are obviously just marketing a business.

I wish people would stop and think before they posts hundreds of tweets per day. Think about the impact on others who are trying to wade through who they follow to garner the latest information. And then think that you are clogging up their timeline. It is maddening to see someone’s name and tweets hundreds of times per day. Just my 2 cents.

I would so like to share certain aspects of this to a friend who always has input and thinks she is the “Twitter Police” and Also the All Knowing. If she weren’t a real life, face to face friend, I would unfollow her! Hard to deal with a friend like this and I bleed from biting my tongue so much.
