Yeah! This is a quick guide to think not to scam and just tweet engaging good friendly relationship amongst others. Stay engaged with relevant topic and just interact.

It has been a recent concern, spam on twitter. I guess we only have to be responsible twitter users Blocking unwanted followers but it is just cumbersome.

So what did you expect? Twitter is just another way to spam links.

If I want to communicate I take the phone, send an e-mail or use msn or something. If I want to tell the world I’m going to the toilet I use twitter…

My experience of twitter was not good. I still ask me sometimes, how people generate leads from there!

Thanks,

Twitter is great. But when you have 2000+ friends it’s hard to navigate.

Thank you! The links do break up the flow. A few are all right, but some people do nothing but tweet links.

I know what you mean. I think people are getting carried away by just constantly posting links and not actually talking anyone. I always thought Twitter was supposed to be where you converse with other people.

Too many people spam these kind of things. They may have positive results initially, but in the long term they are simply counter productive.

I like that I get exposed to things via twitter that I might have missed otherwise: I recently wrote on my blog about a bunch of great designers I heard about (and now follow) via twitter.

However, the constant stream of links can get a bit much, and I will unfollow anyone who is overdoing it. I also find that at certain times of day my own efforts to start a conversation or ask a question can get lost in the noise.

The point about Smashing Magazine/Noupe etc is a good one. Their readership is huge. It’s a good strategy to tweet only the things that you genuinely think others may not have seen.
