Excellent points, well made! Couldn’t agree more.

I consciously refuse to follow people who use twitter for sales promotion – I believe using the medium in this way would ultimately kill the network; people would simply not be interested… the attraction of the network to commerce is valuable, relevant information presented in a non-intrusive way; sales promotion has it’s place, but it’s not on twitter!

I totally agree with your first point. We all know that it’s easy to get followers, but it’s not so easy to get quality followers. I recently wrote a post on my blog about my website’s twitter account (not my personal account) reaching the 1K mark. That might seem like a small number, but the followers I have are quality.

Thanks for another great article!

Thanks, great points.
I wonder what’s the cost (for a large company) of tracking down twits and other socialmedia posts and following up on them. I guess someone somewhere is working on a tool to automate this.

Hillel,

Great job on that post. I have been adjusting my strategy lately, I am not posting as many links and I am learning to share good information.

I still need work on the conversation part because it seems like no one is listening to me on twitter.

Thank you for the post. Concise and points that need to be made over and over so folks will understand how it all works. My clients do seem to have problems understanding that this is a whole new way to market and that some of the old rules do not apply.
