Comments on: My Twitter Rules of Engagement http://www.mattjmcd.com/2009/04/my-twitter-rules-of-engagement/ Ideas and Actions from Matt J McDonald Fri, 06 Jan 2012 02:38:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.2 By: Matt J McDonald http://www.mattjmcd.com/2009/04/my-twitter-rules-of-engagement/comment-page-1/#comment-70309 Matt J McDonald Tue, 12 May 2009 19:57:47 +0000 http://www.mattjmcd.com/?p=753#comment-70309 Thanks everyone for your support! I feel like these are things that can resonate with a lot of people. Hopefully if more of us adopt this attitude publicly, the spammers will calm down. Thanks everyone for your support!

Person X is now following me... wait... I didn't know they unfollowed until I see the duplicate email & profile<br>5) Unfollow? <br><br>@jbryanphillips <-- doesn't always follow on weekends, days off, or vacations :) Great rules!

This trend is considering me to add another nofollow condition…

1) Person X follows me on FRIDAY
2) Person X unfollows me over the weekend (unknowingly to me) guess I didn't follow fast enough
3) I respond to twitter follow email and follow Person X on Monday
4) Yay! Person X is now following me… wait… I didn't know they unfollowed until I see the duplicate email & profile
5) Unfollow?

@jbryanphillips <– doesn't always follow on weekends, days off, or vacations :)

Laughing, rolling, shaking head in agreement. My rules EXACTLY! One you left off – bio pic of you with no shirt on (man) or your boobies hanging out (duh) … NO FOLLOW.

Brilliant! Love it.

I automatically check their page and see what they are about plus check their website...if they have one. Those are the same exact 'rules' I follow when I get people following me.
