Very interesting ettiquite rules… I never actually considered the possibility that you could actually crash a conversation… I will have to watch for that one…

actually, there’s many automatic post on twitter. that’s different aim between person to person.. actually, i think that’s good reason to kill our self account.

If you have a personal account then actually people will want to know what you are up to, on the other hand your business account should not go into your bowl problems. Keep them separate and it becomes easy to target your messages to the right people.

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. Most of those sites are a waste/scams and I just unfollow anyone who is giving away their account to make a few dollars

Yeah, #2 is a pain in the butt for sure and a great way to lose followers. 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.

Btw – I totally agree with you @lynnegordon. 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!

I personally have built my Twitter identity on sharing and I do share some very strange things. 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.
