I was following the wrong advice from someone who did not know too much about twitter herself. I even managed to get my sister upset. Your post is very helpful.

Not just about twitter but what not to do at the gym, what not to do on public transportation, what not to...I just find them bossy and annoying. I am sure there are some annoying people out there that do some of these things but who are we to tell them. Let them figure it out. And guess what, maybe it is working for them when it wouldn't work for anyone else. Now here's the upside. In general I enjoy your posts. So don't let this bother you. It is just a pet peeve. Seriously just read an article of what not to do at the gym and one was "Don't sweat too much." That is the kind of thing that can make my head explode. I have to tell you, I hate these lists.

Now here’s the upside. In general I enjoy your posts. So don’t let this bother you. It is just a pet peeve. Seriously just read an article of what not to do at the gym and one was “Don’t sweat too much.” That is the kind of thing that can make my head explode.

Seems to me that many of these types didn't show up until late last year. I think last month there was an unfollow a certain celebrity campaign, but I don't think it put a dent into his followers.

I've still not learned how to effectively use the RT or retweet command and its intended syntax, yet I use this very heavily for someone with "less than a month in the saddle" of twittering. Since I carry a number of interests, I've carried the initiative of following those who appear interesting and have blocked only one user for being a true dweeb. Although busy, I'm also noticing less and less of FailWhale (the formerly ubiquitous screen of birds netting a poor whale with the message that Twitter is experiencing too many tweets) as I can tell the service is addressing their growing pains now.

Tweets that just have links do me no good since I don't have an iphone or one that even has internet service. I agree with some points, I don't want to be spammed by bots but I am interested in what people are doing, even if it's something mundane. I'm certainly not going in to it worrying if I am appeasing my followers. If someone likes what's I'm Tweeting about, great! If not, I figure they can unfollow. Different people have different tastes. I'm not saying people should throw common sense net etiquette (spamming, botting, etc) out the window but I think the reigns are getting a little too tight.

I am trying to get the grasp of different twitter styles. I battle with "all @replies" or just the ones I am following. Some people tweet alot, and I don't want all their traffic, while others don't tweet so much, and I want to hear it all. Maybe a per-followee override would be nice! I just hate those bots! I searched for tweets based on MythTV, and saw too many "MythTV recorded CSI....MythTV recorded Law and Order...MythTV" Pleeeeeease! Enough already! I don't need this!!!! Happy tweeting!
