Derek,
My man! This post continues to amaze me and makes me think of new ideas all the time. It’s funny how every time I’m doing research on Twitter I somehow always find my way back to this article.

Cheers and keep up the great work.

I had never thought of it that way, but you are right. The kind of tweets I read are either witty and snarky or mostly informative. But they have to be captivating and not boring. I see headlines and links all day, but the ones who add something to them are the ones I read.

You can’t imagine how many people I quit following because they Tweet nothing but lots of @! 🙂

In reply to Barbara | Creative Culinary. Barbara, Saw your comment and visited your site. What great photos and posts! Those cocktails are to die for. Glad I found your site, and I'll follow you on Twitter now, too. (Although I have to spend a few hours and organize my Twitter deluge further into lists—I'm missing too many of my favorite tweeters.)

I am a very active Twitter user and will soon have 9000 followers, all accomplished without using an auto follow process. Granted; I blog about food so it’s a pretty universal topic but what I’ve found is that people who try to hard have trouble making it work. Be yourself, jump into conversations talking about something you are interested in; offer advice, encouragement, tips.

But most importantly…some things NOT to do that I and others see an an automatic unfollow.

Don’t make it hard. If you think you need to protect your tweets or have me confirm that I want to follow through a separate process maybe Twitter isn’t for you. If you send out auto DM’s when someone follows promoting your business, I’ll unfollow immediately. I, like many others, value the contact, the sense of getting to know someone; using Twitter totally as a way to push your business is often subject to just making your business look bad in the eyes of fellow Twitter users.

As I told someone recently, it’s called ‘Social Media’ not ‘All About Me’ media. Interact and give a bit and you’ll get more in return.

In reply to Derek Halpern. I see people now posting tweets about posts that tell nothing about what the post is about. It does not build anticipation for me; it simply builds annoyance. Way too contrived and less real.
