Are You A Twit Or A Tweeter?

Steve Hachey here…..my most recent articles have been written as a means of giving my perspective of how you can use Facebook to create an online presence.  There are so many more topics on that topic but I need to switch my focus to Twitter.

Why you might ask?  Well, here is my story…..

For those who have been living under a rock, Twitter is a social micro blogging site.  You have 140 characters to send a message.  Some will actually carry on a discussion with others, some will post links to videos, articles, blogs, etc.

But most use it to SPAM…. I mean come on.  There are too many educated marketers out there who are beginning to smell spam the minute they read your 140 character message.

For some reason, my account had been suspended until further review.  I DO NOT spam, but I believe I had unfollowed too many who were not adding value to my life.   So I deleted over 600-700 in one day and Twitter didn’t like that.  Once they understood why, they quickly activated my account once again.

So, once my account was refreshed, I think it completely reset everything…….and what is the big deal?  Well, I had over 3400 DM’s or Direct Messages!  Me, being who I am, decided it necessary to start sorting through the messages at the tune of about 100+ per day.  Needless to say it is going to take me some time.

But here is my big beef…..of all the DM’s….all 3400+…..I would say less then 1% to this point actually have any value.  I have come across Mafia invitations, check out this “now blocked site”, come check out this program and make 567K in my first year, blah, blah, blah.

I guess my message is, wise up if you are one of those individuals who are not adding value.  I mean don’t get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with have a little fun but if you are going to plaster everyone’s page with useless information, expect to get little response.

Oh yes, one more thing….my favourite one is get 16,000 followers…..then why do they not have 16,000 followers on their profile if it really works?

Look forward to hearing your thoughts in 140 characters or less…..smile

Cheers – Steve
