I think that is a novel idea…however it also gives a wrong impression…of it all…I dunno…

I m just following sports related TWEETS currently…that makes more sense for us…

That is so sweet. I'll have to set a chunk of time aside to add some contacts to my Twitter. Oh, I just added you as well. Here is My Twitter Link if you'd like to add back.

GeekyMommy… You are right if you are going to go and just add people without participating it is a waste. I think honestly I have gained more reading wise and conversation wise than I have with pure numbers.

I don’t usually add back ’serial adders’ right away – but I do tend to check out their timestream, see if they have a blog, and see if they’re someone who contributes to the conversation.
You were a go in all 3 categories or I wouldn’t have added you.

Things that cause me not to add a ’serial adder’ back? Timelines that are 100% links elsewhere, no @— messages, pushing an agenda (i.e. adding people solely so they will check out product X)

It’s not just adding people that nets return – it’s providing value when they check to see who added them.

Debby, I probably will… I want to close my ratio of following and followers a little more. I don’t want to come off as fake. Because I still have picked up a lot from these people and have made some good connections.
