In one way my main twitter account being out of action has been a blessing in disguise. It’s given me a chance to prune the amount of people I was following.
Please don’t take offence if I don’t follow you on my new account. I was just in one of those add every man and his dog frenzies when I first got into using twitter regularly. I was too focused on getting my twitter grade up, it is still there in my mind that I want to be in the twitter elite, but I need to take a different approach instead of just looking at how many followers a certain account has.
My main criteria for following people now is:
1. No “me me me me me” twitterers, what I mean by that is 2000+ updates talking about yourself and not interacting with others.
2. I don’t mind the odd sales pitch, but if all you are going to do is pitch me the latest get rich quick scheme everytime you see me on twitter, then please talk to the hand.
Above all just be yourself, twitter is one big conversation pool, you’re not going to please everyone, so don’t try.
