I have never really believed in the theory of get a lot of followers and they will automatically want what you have to offer...it started on MySpace - get lots of friends! - and then came the theory that having friends that YOU would want to be friends with (the authentic business types) was much preferable. I agree. Same thing with Twitter - why do I want a bunch of tweets from people who have a message I either don't agree with or don't care about? As Sharlene says, It just adds to the annoyance factor! Add the spam in our emails everyday, it wastes time! Thanks Deirdre to this common sense approach with how to focus our efforts on Twitter - and a guideline to the rest of our dealings online (and offline too)!

I've been having this same dialogue with myself lately, as I've been deluged by so many tweets from "i can make you a success" folks. I'll add one more to it: is there such a thing as the "overtweeter?" If someone tweets 20+ times a day, I find it distracting and a bit annoying. First of all, I already struggle to filter information all day long... this only adds to it. And, now, I have to scroll through them just to find the rest of the comments from other people..... this is especially annoying with the 20+ tweets are links to news! It makes Twitter into a news feed and not a social dialogue. Am I crazy? (probably!). Alleluia!

You are one of the most authentic people I've met, and I think you'll cause others to rethink their 'goals' for twitter. I await the countdown! Looking forward to it.
