Don’t Be A Twitter Hog
I think I’ve been missing the boat on Twitter, haven’t been paying enough attention to it.
I started trying to change that, you know, following more people and trying to get more followers.
Just how many different ways are there to post an Update? There’s Twitterfeed, Tweet Later now Social Oomph, Ping.fm, API, and more I’m sure.
But I’ll tell you, it’s pretty annoying to go to your Twitter page and see five rapid fired tweets all coming from different sources but saying the exact same thing from the same person.
Retweeting is great, but isn’t someone else supposed to retweet you?
I thought social media was supposed to be about sharing, not cramming stuff down people’s throats.
I see something once, I might be interested. See it twice I may get annoyed. Four or five times in a row and I’m going to unfollow, fast.
OK, rant over.
Am I still missing the boat? Does bugging the hell out of your followers really work?
How do you use Twitter? Some insights would be great, in the form of a comment.
Do Not Be Denied,
