To be honest, I won’t follow anyone who doesn’t respond to anyone or retweet other people’s posts. It shows a narcissistic streak, an agenda, a me-first attitude.

Oh, and those people with the automatic “Thanks for following! Click on this link…” messages? I unfollow them instantly. Too salesy.

This is a little off topic but does anyone know a good Twitter 101 that I could look at? I signed up but I don’t really have a clue what I am doing. I picked one person to follow and got about 15 tweets in a second. How do you get people to follow you?

I don’t claim to “get” twitter but I do know why I signed up: To learn from writers and editors, get my own stuff out there and to market my business locally. I am not there to have a conversation. I barely have time to look after my children, write my blog and articles, and market my business. I can’t imagine sitting on the computer scouring the internet for links to share with my followers!

I am very picky about who I follow – they have to offer something useful to me – I can’t be bothered with a huge feed of “chat.” And for that reason, I don’t care if someone follows me or not. I may not offer anything of value to them. However, I figure if they followed me in the first place they must want to know what I have to say.

Meryl,

The twitter glitch really does happen. I’ve had several occasions where I’ve discovered that a twitter buddy was dropped off the radar or vice-versa. A little twitter maintenance now and then is not a bad idea!

I get so many bots, and so many people so obviously in it for “the wrong reasons” that it’s not worth looking at each person who follows. It’s hard to know for sure if they are even human! I follow people because they tweet things of interest to me.
