Contradicting myself how/where?

Oops…sorry Jaceman, wrong app. I wasn’t talking about twittergetter in the first place. It was Tweetlater.

Jaceman are you contradicting yourself just a tad here or what?

That’s a very good point. And again when you’re following people you don’t know that can’t be good either. It’s like the blind following the blind, but on the other hand, it gives you a way to send a message to all the people who follow you, and I’m sending a free report that helps to build my downline in traffic exchanges that I’m surfing in, so even if only one percent of the followers it sends are actually downloading the report it can turn into a good amount of people.
No matter what you do there’s always a good side and a bad side, so we take the bad with the good and hope for the best.

I’m glad you liked the article Rebecca. As for me, I don’t like Tweetlater at all. And I hate all of these tools that automatically unfollow those who “stop following us.” The reason is, they’re not accurate. I can’t count how many times I’ve seen those applications unfollow someone they shouldn’t have. The damage that can potentially do to a business relationship doesn’t seem very good to me.

Excellent article. I also choose quality over quantity and I’ve found some really good apps that help to insure that my tweets are targeted to people who want to read them. I tried tweetergetter and had a lot of people I never even talked to following me, so I went to their profiles and found that their interests were nothing like mine.
Now I’m using tweetlater and it schedules my tweets and sends the new followers a direct message and thank you with a free report on building traffic. It also automates a return follow. If they don’t like what I’m sending and they choose to stop following me, it will automatically stop my following them.

You are absolutely 100% correct in your assessment of this. Twitter was founded on the premise that you could quickly and easily ‘chat’ with like-minded people and perhaps gain some new friends. The Internet Heavyweights have now taken this tool which is nothing more than a microblog and touting it as the next best thing to….I think you get the picture.

I can’t believe how many Twitter requests I get daily – seems to average 25 requests a day. I actually spend the time to go to the profile and see if they have something to say that interests me. If not, I don’t follow. If they sound interesting, I always @reply back asking them for more information. I’ve met some great people using Twitter but do not plan to use it as my main marketing tool — in fact, I’d almost rather find interesting people using Twitter and if I get some sales, it’s a bonus.
