You Don’t Have to Follow Everyone on Twitter that Follows You!
Dec 07, 2008

Submitted by The Puck from Google Reader: Let’s be clear, there are no rules for who you need to follow on twitter.  You follow who you want, block you want, and talk to whomever you want to talk to.  I’ve had several people tell me that ... (Read More)

@Thechannelc I only respond to a DM if I need to. I will reply to a direct question even if only to say I don't know, as I like to be polite. However, I only follow a very few people by SMS, so I don't see tweets when I'm away from my computer, unless I scroll back thru them, and I don't usually have time. I DO see DMs though, as Tweetdeck puts them in a separate column.

: If someone was Guy Kawasaki I wouldn't expect a reply but here's what's interesting, Guy replies! If there's someone who deserves the badges he's giving out, it's Guy himself. He kicks ass.

I know we don't have to follow everyone back but I do it anyways and I'll DM new followers. No answer in 1 week = goodbye. Come now, atleast say "hi".
