Not because I'm necessarily interested in reading their conversations with others, although I do find a lot of new people to follow that way, and sometimes join conversations in progress, like in real-life networking. But I want to know that they will respond to me if I contact them. It means that they're willing to engage. That's what Twitter's all about for me! I also look for lots of @replies.

So, if i post something out there, does anyone even see it? does everyone that i see, see me? i dont think so, but am not sure. but seriously, who sees what? interesting! and then there are some of us who don’t @reply b/c they cant figure who’s speaking to who, and who sees what. i’ve replied to a couple and felt like i made a social blunder; like saying something at a party and the room goes silent.

Melanie, I am sincerely asking this–do you automatically assume that a company logo means that the person who is managing the Twitter stream for the company won’t be conversational?

Thanks, Ryan. For me, someone's photo is almost more important than their bio when I'm deciding to follow or not. I tend to decline the invitation if the person has posted a cartoon, a picture of their child, their company logo, cleavage, or they choose to remain "faceless" and have no photo at all.

I agree that it is best to check out their profile and, in my opinion, a picture is a nice touch as it helps to put a face to all those Tweets. N I don’t automatically follow people.

I agree with Kristen about too many @replies being 'noise' if there is no "in reply to" to provide context & invite others to join the conversation. If it's a private conversation, why not use DM.

When I get a notification that someone is following me, I check their profile to see if I would like to engage with that person. Though my account is about my business, that's not all I talk about. In fact I think the amount of time I spend Tweeting about G & C is 20/80. I really enjoy the SOCIAL part of social networking. I think we’re pretty much on the same page.

While I follow a few people who mostly link, I also tend (and trend) toward people who use Twitter to reach out, engage, and be part of a community. I'm biased toward conversation, but I also want to hang with people who share--useful, fun, interesting sites, posts, and the like. Avatars sometimes are okay, but a good bio is golden. Have a good weekend, Daria Hi Ryan,

I want to actually engage with people. If you show hardly any @ tweets, I will probably not follow you. Same goes for people who have many followers and don't follow back as much. I want to be on twitter for lots of two way information exchange and not just to listen to the awesome information these awesome people have to share with me.
