5 Quick Ways Not To Get Me To Follow You On Twitter or Plurk

And 5 more ways to get me to stop following you if I do!

OK, Here’s the first list:

Don’t include a real photo on your profile.
Don’t include your real name on your profile!
Show that you following thousands of others, but have made only three updates, or worse still, none at all!
Have updates on your profile that do nothing but promote your product!
5 Make 10 updates or more about the same thing in a matter of minutes!

5 Quick Ways To get Me To Stop Following You

(If I was silly enough to do so in the first place!)

DM me and thank me for the follow, while stating that you are there to help me earn $50,000.00 an hour using some magic formula!
Do nothing but broadcast your sales message every time you Tweet.
Don’t interact with those around you!
Use foul language and sexual innuendo in your Tweets.
Share links to porn when you Tweet!

A key thing to remember when it comes to social media, and networking on Twitter, Plurk, FriendFeed or any other site, is this:

If I joined your “list”, then by default, you joined mine as well!

If you don’t want to listen to what I have to say back to you, then just say adios amigos and I will unfollow you too!

Who Do I Follow?

People who have something interesting to say, whether it be about politics, conservation, the news, business, history or what ever!

I don’t care if you have 10 followers, or 10,000, I will base my decision on whether to follow on what I see on your profile.

You see, I’m there to interact, and learn, and share!

I will check your offer, and if I like it, I will tell my other friends on all the other networks I’m on!

But spam me, and it’s all a wasted effort!

I don’t use auto follow programs, and rarely send a direct message unless I am having a conversation with someone!

Disclaimer: I played with SocialToo, but conscience got the better of me!

Having said all of that, please feel free to meet me on any of these sites! I don’t really bite… well, not that much!

…And remember to play nice, and follow the Twitter Golden Rule:

Tweet others the same way you would like to be tweeted!
