Hi Mike this is Kenneth and I so agree with you on just following people who are of interest to me and it is crazy the number of followers that some people as it would probably take a call center to handle all the tweets.

There is just not enough time in the day to have all these followers. I have 100 followers or so and that is to much for me. Pick a niche or two and follow the people whom are within that niche that is the way I see it.

What is the historical value of all this? ,

Hi Mike,

Fortunately I do not have the amount of followers as you have, but here is some good advice you have shared…..how can anyone communicate with that many people?

Although my followers are a small number, I am making a concious effort to only follow people back who I beleive can share value and perhaps build a long term relationship with for future business not a continous stream of spam, which I hate.

Personally I have set up a group on tweetdeck to stay in touch with the people who want to stay in touch with, and it so much easier.

Thanks Mike.

Cheers

Sean

I couldn’t agree more. With all the followers who I really don’t know, and who constantly tweet about every little thing, it’s tough to sift through it all and find the updates that I really care about.

Too much clutter.

I always had a problem with auto follow. It takes me less time to review my new followers to see if I am interested in their tweets than it did to unfollow all the new followers that arrived with bots. Enjoyed John Reese’s blog post on the topic also.

I was a bit sad to loose you and Tom Beal as followers. Tom just started to follow me last week and I finally got you to follow me on one of your live ustream broadcasts.

Possibly after a few more marketers cruises we will get to know each other a bit better and become buddies. I sure love your products and use Traffic Fusion every day and my first Butterfly marketing site will be up this year.

I totally agree with you Mike. I’ll say Amen to that!

This is a side comment, and I hope you see this. The May 2009 Issue of “MarketingDotCom”, in the Did you know? section. It said that you can skip the “middle” part when paying with paypal. Is this a script or a setting made in my paypal account?

Welcome aboard… ;) All it takes is a few big names to stop, and I think we’ll see a LOT of people stop.

You won’t get as many followers. Fact. You WILL get a lot more people who actually read your tweets though.

In essence, you end up getting more out of Twitter my straining it less.

For the win!

Hey Mike,

What you said in your video is exactly why I think I could just not get
my head around Twitter.

It seems in my mind, like a big sms safelist. I only follow some 700
people and it is still impossible :D

I think the problem is Twitter has become too much of a Marketing Tool
instead of a social media tool
