I hope it does not piss people off!

On the other hand, I did un-follow a few people who were sending 100 damn tweets a day about stupid stuff.

I was experiencing this myself recently, but more on FriendFeed. I signed up for FriendFeed recently and I like that it allows people to integrate their other social bookmarking sites and blogs so that it automatically posts whatever the person bookmarks. This means you can share interesting resources and sites with your friends. One of the original purposes of social bookmarking!

I also like that FriendFeed will send me an email of my friend’s latest activity. But when one person is crowding out the others, I do unsubscribe.

Another factor of note is that I think one has to watch out on the automated plugins or features etc., which tweat when you post, tweat when you update your Squidoo lens, etc. This can be great but if you overdo it (without realizing it) you might become the ultimate tweater. Especially if you have a lot of blogs and lenses you are working on! I realized that recently and I started reorganizing my blog tweats a bit.

@Jarret
I know the kind of tweets you’re referring to. The ones from the big dogs I have a little more patience for. Thanks for the heads-up for the live beats thing. I wasn’t aware of that. In fact, I may just take it down anyway.

@SuiteJ
Yes, I’m still following you and will continue to do so! I’ve been using two FireFox plugins for Twitter activity: TwitterFox and TwitterBar. TwitterFox is the one that gives me updates. Luckily, I can turn off the pop-ups, but just like my inbox, I’m attracted to the ever-increasing number of unread tweets, so I have to go read them! So while I do try to check them regularly, there is a price with it and that is to sift through to the good stuff.
@Asim
I follow an actress, too. She’s borderline tweet-spam (or is it “twam”?), but I’m working on my tolerance. And as for the prizes, you were sent two emails: one from me notifying you to expect an email from Aaron (the prize donator), and the email from him that he copied me on. He sent you the login on August 26. So if it’s not in your junk folder or inbox, let me know and I’ll forward it again. Thanks for letting me know. I know like to have disappointed drummers!
@Chrissy Chris LOL
Don’t worry, you’re firmly planted in my following crowd. I saw that nail polish tweet you referenced. I think that was from SuiteJ, right? I found that curiously disturbing. LOL (Just kidding Jay!!)

I have to agree on the “spam” thing. Some people go a little overboard, and I also remove myself from them. BUT, I would like to think I’m not one of those who have run you off. I’d never forgive myself. I’ll cry

But you are right, there is way too much crap on twitter. I want information about real stuff, I really don’t care what color nail polish someone bought or what someone decided to have for lunch. LOL

There a whole lot of life and a whole lot of people you can learn a lot and use their context into your own lives !!

b/w hey Mark Sierra i was waiting for your response for quite some time . I didn’t really recive you email for the prizes . I did send you an email through your form as well . Do look into it . And do the same ASap .

Regards,
Asim

I know exactly what you mean, but I’m not on there enough for it to bother me. Where do people find time to comment on their breakfast cereal?
I guess the same could be said about me commenting on 17 blog posts this morning though. lol
I don’t follow many people, but it does suck to weed through that fluff in order to find interesting posts.

Cheers!
Jay

PS. You know I’m going to check if you’re following me now, right?
