So Follow Me And Expect A Follow Back!... That's If You're Not A Spammer Or Are Disturbing, Mind!

iI disagree, in order to grow your name, and your followers you need to first use the follow back policy. If your a nobody, nobody will follow you

Great post!
I am quite new on twitter, but decided alread against auto-follow. In the last few days some strange people started to follow me (in particular MLM and “Free stuff” websites) so I am happy of my choice.
On the TweeetDeck/EventBox options , definitely EventBox, TweetDeck does not sense that Firefox is already running, and tries to open it again, most annoying…

Thanks for commenting. And I don't like blog/twitter automation,
despite I used it to remind my readers I changed the RSS feed of this
blog…

Hi Luca,

Great post. Twitter has become like blogs. Once they too were about people journalling their lives and interests but today almost every blog has a commercial intent.

The fact is tho that unless you automate your blogs, and twitter, both can be hard work. But if you're unwise enough to automate them you get tuned out anyway.

The posts on twitter I most dislike are the ones that occupy twelve, or so, tweets in a row because they've never been touched by human hand.

Go Well Luca,

Stephen

I follow more people but I tried to minimize the noise so I always find useful content when I look at my timeline. Sometimes I unfollow, other times I follow new people, the point is to keep the good content flowing.

Luc,

I agree with your thesis. I follow about 200 people, which seems about the right size and mix of people and opinions.
