Keep them separate and it becomes easy to target your messages to the right people.

Most of those sites are a waste/scams and I just unfollow anyone who is giving away their account to make a few dollars I really hate peopel who mix greed and sloth together by using allowing access to apps that tweet ads just to get a few dollars extra.

If you just focus on the promotional aspect then you just become another noisey channel on the web. Nothing wrong with a little self promotion, but I personally think you will gain far more followers by mixing things up a bit and by showing people a more personal non business side of yourself.

I think conversation crashing is awesome. In Hong Kong we have a very active Twitter community and you will see a conversation build from one @reply to at least 4 or 5. That is what makes it fun! It is also one of the big 3 on Twitter - Approachability - if you can't conversation crash, than it isn't approachable! Thanks for the article Zoey :) Following you now! Awesome of you to put your thoughts out there & to start such a great dialogue! Btw – I totally agree with you @lynnegordon. I think conversation crashing is awesome.

Sometimes, when I wonder, "should I share this?" it turns into an amazing conversation! So who knows. I think Twitter is a bit a kin to the real world in that there are people who are going to like me and there are people who won't - I can't please everyone - I can only be myself. On another note -AUTOMATION - I was having a conversation with a friend (poor soul) who went to a "make millions on Twitter" seminar and paid $17,000 HKD = $2500 USD for an automated system that was going to make him a millionaire. He was to set up 10 twitter accounts under false identities, with 10 gmail accounts where it then automates articles for people to click on. I almost cried for him. He just didn't understand why I said no one was going to follow his automated article bots. It seems people are saying it will work...but I would report him as SPAM in less than 5 seconds flat.

There are quite a few real companies and people that use it for proper purposes though. Certain circles on twitter do seem to do nothing but post commercial and/or affiliate links.

Every single point you made is from YOUR Twitter bible. Many, many others do not feel the same as you do. There are millions of Twitterers who are ONLY there for promotion of their product, blog or website. They allow others whom they follow to promote their business in peace. Perhaps you could learn something from that attitude. Most rational people know that it will be 100% impossible to bring about the idealized Twitter-world you are striving for, so why not just take the blinders off, relax and enjoy the show. I personally think it is quite funny or entertaining when I read tweets that have absolutely nothing to do with me or my life - but then I am not that stuck on myself. Also there are no such thing as private tweets. Whatever you say in the public timeline is just that - public. Twitter uses DMs for private matters. And another thing, I have friends, I am not spending my precious time on Twitter trying to tell someone who I am. That's a bit of insanity, if you ask me because your friends don't like you because of who you tell them you are - they like you because they have observed for themselves who you are. Twitter is strictly a commercial tool and anyone who tells you differently is lying to you. It is simply NOT possible to expect etiquette and good social graces where the opportunity to make a dollar exists. That's not my rule - that is just the world we live in. Live and let live, young lady. You will live a much less stressful life if you do. Hi Zoey, You made some very good points…but let’s be real.
