I believe that these guys are spamming but I can’t believe that people actually love it or respect it.

That is insanely crazy, I’m still wondering what was Kevin Rose thinking? It’s good to know that Digg always does that, no wonder most of my articles got buried on digg but I think currently mixx is not on a big scale like Digg. Looking forward to your series on Twitter optimization!

I’ve been annoyed seeing respectable SEO types (not naming names) using Twitter as a spam/marketing platform. Even if it’s working for them, it makes me respect/trust them less.

We live and learn everyday in this business. I too am beginning to question a lot of the advice that the so called ‘gurus’ out there throw around. I agree about the Twitter numbers though, what is the point of having followers if there can be no real value put into or achieved from those relationships.

Thanks for a informative and eye-opening post.

I can give a rats ass about any of it really. Intriguing post though, I actually read it all the way through and didn’t get bored.

I think this will be a problem for those on the outside looking in to see what’s going on. They’ll see all these salesmen and think they walked onto a used car lot and turn away as more and more people follow and see what the top guys are doing in each realm of the frontier.

If that were true, then Twitter and all these other time consuming sites will be filled with the blather of a million Jerry Maguire’s…

In fact, Twitter really is a ‘help me help you’ type environment. No one is there without some reasonable attempt to help themselves in some manner. Everyone is selling something, and it gets really old after a while.

Where’s the “I just want to piss off” corner? I guess we make it and sit there lonely and bored since we aren’t the “normal” twits.

Although, it’s amazing what is going on, with the Internet still such a stormy sea of waves as it is today.

I’m not trying to be obtuse here, I’m just really bored and feeling a bit negative…

I like your article, you are really right. If you aren t a celebrity why are you trying to inflate your twitter followers? Less is more:)
