@ Jim – there are guys out there that do interact with their many followers, even if they have thousands of followers, I’m not talking about them, its the ones that just use Twitter as an online diary for them, don’t interact with anyone … those are the ones that get my goat!

@ Steve, you’ll find the level of communication go up if you consistently keep a lid on things, its your account, you handle how its run.

@ KJ, welcome , hope you hang around some, we do like to have a laugh on here, from time-to-time

So I came across this site from seeing it on Top Ranked, and I must say, I understand why. You speak the truth. I like the sense of humor you toss and the sarcastic cries is great. I will be back on a regular basis to read these great posts.

This is a question I’ve been struggling with so the advice is very helpful.

I want to be open to and with everybody but it’s easy to get swamped so I’ve started to only reciprocate follows with interesting people.

Now I need to follow your advice and get tough with the unfollows

I agree. I do this as part of #unfollowfriday . I was stunned when #followfriday became so popular.

I have many friends who I followed but stopped following because they were too active, they retweeted everything that I had already heard first hand. I don’t dislike them as people and they don’t usually get offended.

Mind you, if you intend to make a living out of social media consulting (and I don’t mean you personally) then the size of your following counts for a lot.

I’m still stunned that @BarackObama hasn’t tweeted a damn thing since getting in, having used it to such great effect. He should be having mass culling taking place.
