Good article which I’ve bookmarked in Delicious to share as a resource with new Twitter users.

I get frustrated with the sales pitch links, where you click on the link and go straight to a landing page with a full-on sales pitch. It wastes my time because I’m not going to click on one if I don’t know the source, and all the sources I know well don’t do that kind of spammy linking.

I don’t mind the auto DMs as much. I tried those myself, initially, but have quit and do my own personal ones. Only problem with that is all the phishing problems make it so much harder to do. Ah well, more challenging is more interesting

Thank you very much for your very valuable advice. I started twittering just yesterday. A very rich topic for learning. One thing I have come to suspect is that there may be some tweeps you do not want to have as followers. For me, the greatest value in Twitter is the exchange of ideas, and especially those that stimulate more thinking. I choose whom I follow based upon how many of their tweets are about ideas.

Is there a way to forward this list to everyone on Twitter. I think 99% of the people I follow are breaking most of these rules. Only problem is, by obeying them (mostly) I have nothing much left to tweet about. Daves last blog post..35 ways to make money selling web management services

I'm new to the Twitter game, but I have been following the general good rule of the internet here as elsewhere - bring good quality content! It's what brings you up on Google, and it's what others will value, IMHO - if you're not making a contribution, how can you expect anything in return? Great article - going to get this out on Twitter myself right now! Gary Baileys last blog post..Do you know your numbers?

Thank you for writing this article. I am new at twitter, and I am on there to network.

I am already annoyed by the people who are constantly promoting their product. And you are right, totally impersonal.

I look forward to reading more!

One thing that makes it all manageable for me is Tweetdeck, which allows you to group people for easier following. It is also easier to spot those who tweet 100 times a day or more, which is someone I usually unfollow. If you clog up the stream with info so I can't see everyone else, it makes it hard for me to appreciate what you have to say. Kind of like the loudmouth at a party who takes over the conversation.

Great article! I giggled in several spots. I am bothered by the people that ONLY send out Tweets with their lame sales tactics. No sense of community and no concern for their followers. They might as well just beg you for your sale...oh yeah, they are! LOL P.S. Love your writing style. Wendy Merritts last blog post..How to Easily Create A Customized Twhirl Color Scheme
