  • I Climbed Back On The Twitter Wagon

    September 5th, 2009 by Ben Moreno

    ('DiggThis’)

    Well, it looks like I just couldn’t stay away from Twitter.  It is actually fun now.  Why?  I unfollowed about 600 people, that’s why.  I realized that the follow back strategy just doesn’t work.  Plus it is literally impossible to stay in touch with 600 people.  Turns out most of the people I was following were just spammers anyway.

    Yes, I actually took the time out to unfollow 600 people.  It didn’t take as long as you would think.  There are some scripts out there that supposedly can do it for you but I am just a little uncomfortable about giving out my profile password like that.

    So now I try to keep my following to a minimum.  It really makes Twitter more enjoyable.  Slowly over time as I build relationships with people I am sure I will start to follow more people.  Or if the people I am already following become boring lol.

    I still think that Twitter won’t last forever.  It just seems like it is a hot item now and will fade eventually like most of the social media sites.  Of course I could be wrong.  We will see.

    So if you took the time to read this post, why not follow me on Twitter and we can tweet.  Who knows you may find out that I might actually have some interesting things to say.

      Hey Ben … I’m about to thin out my “following” as well … I too find it hard to keep up with everyone. Hope you’re having a wonderful weekend. *huGs* Suzanne

      I think I am going to have to cull my twitter followers a lot! I have over 6,000 followers, but the majority of them a just spammers and I cant really follow anyone properly.
