I do admit that I have a lot of people follow me that feels spammy, they are just trying to get my attention. I'm very choosy on who I follow. It's not about the numbers it's about the relationships. Since I have started on Twitter the thing that I have enjoyed the most is that there was this whole background chatter of book bloggers that I didn't know about. Now I feel like I'm more part of the group. It's also easy to Twitter when you use a plug-in that works with your browser.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11303971.post-86516508094841063602008-11-05T15:36:00.000-08:002008-11-05T15:36:00.000-08:00I think a lot of the people following me were hopi...I think a lot of the people following me were hoping I'd follow them in return--business twitterers, I figured. I didn't. I don't think they've bothered removing me from the twitterers they follow. I don't even pay attention to the numbers. I'm only following six or seven people, so it's not too overwhelming and it's really fun. I'm following a few book bloggers, a food blogger, Bill Barnes of the Unshelved comic strip (he cracks me up), and a few friends who live far away now. As long as they keep updating, I don't care who's following me, or who's decided I'm not interesting enough to keep following.<BR/><BR/>Gracious, I leave long comments.Jenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07832420356107544084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11303971.post-51569500943260657012008-11-05T15:25:00.000-08:002008-11-05T15:25:00.000-08:00I don't worry about who's following me or not, tho...I don't worry about who's following me or not, though I guess if everyone ditched me I'd be bummed!Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16745786643511417426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11303971.post-75136573514727666352008-11-05T12:17:00.000-08:002008-11-05T12:17:00.000-08:00I have a Twitter account, but after trying it for ...I have a Twitter account, but after trying it for a couple days, I lost interest. It's neat and all, but it feels like "just one more thing to update". Also, I have Facebook, which has a status update too. I know you can attach your Twitter to your Facebook, but it all just seems like too much. As for "following", I like to see what friends are up to on Facebook. But meeting new people, that's what I like about blogging!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11303971.post-39826248998645958182008-11-05T08:29:00.000-08:002008-11-05T08:29:00.000-08:00I love Twitter and tweet several times a day.

I thought it was because Twitter had disqualified a twitterer as a spammer, which in some cases was probably was true. Twitter can be abused and those predisposed to abusing a good thing will of course do that.<BR/><BR/>When I first joined twitter I'd just click on anyone to follow them hoping they'd follow me back - get a jump on the thing, you know. Probably not a good policy. Now I actually click on their profile and get an idea of what their interests are, and if they are of at least SOME of the same ilk as me I follow them. I do the same now when I get a new follower before deciding to follow them back.<BR/><BR/>No, I don't get my feelings hurt if someone chooses to stop following me.
