I could not agree more. I have quit auto following and are now working on removing people who publish stuff I'm not interested in. I want to use twitter for something useful and find stuff I'm interested in. I'm so tired of those “how to get 10 000 followers in three days” posts.

I can not get auto follow to stop!
I've eliminated all outside apps in my connections.
Any suggestions?

I am not a fan of the auto-follow as it seems to defy the whole point of Twitter … to social network with those you want to follow. Somehow, my account keeps following folks I have not chosen, though. It's NOT an auto-follow of those that follow me, it's pulling people that are NOT following me and many that I do not want to follow. Do you know any ways to see why this is happening and how to stop it? I keep running into walls getting help from Twitter support. Anyone who can help, I'd appreciate it!

I do NOT auto-follow. I think it's obnoxious. I see who's following me and I look at their profile and their last few Tweets. If I see someone I think I have stuff in common with or who just has interesting things to say, I'll follow them back. If they are a spammer, they get blocked. (Except for other online sellers that move in my circles. People in those circles who only post updates about what they are selling just don't get followed back.)

Every once in a while, you DO have a conversation via Twitter. That's why I'm there. It's not about how many followers I can get.

David, Great Post. I completely agree. I am constantly weeding out idiots and prostitutes. I think Twitter can be a great way to communicate but the best way to describe it is millions of ticks without a dog. It's a freeking feeding freenzie every day. I agree more quality targeted followers that actually care about reading your tweet is better than showing useless numbers. thanks, mark

Hi David,

I agree with what you are saying because I've been using auto follow with Tweetlater but like you are saying, it doesn't matter how big your Twitter List is if nobody is reading your tweets...I do go into my Twitter account every once in a while and unfollow people"Like those porn stars" you are talking about and other people that I see are only on there to spam me. I'm going to take more time and go through all my followers and actually check their profile to see what they are all about and then just follow the interesting people and from now on I'm going to turn off the auto follow and start building a more targeted Twitter list of followers by replying back personally to the people that follow me.

Have a great day!

Robert

Right now I follow 375 people and find that it’s manageable. Even so, while Robert Scoble was unfollowing everybody he followed (over 100K!), I cut back to 350. Some of them were major noise generators.

I’ve never done autofollow, and now I know I never will. Too much trouble, really; I wouldn’t want to autofollow all those porno spambots. Best to let them follow me and then auto-unfollow me.

As for your followers: It’s not so much how many followers you have as how many of them listen to you. If they retweet and engage in constructive conversation, great. I wouldn’t mind having 3 million followers like @aplusk, most of them fans hanging on my every word. But as for those I follow, 2,000 would probably be my upper limit, especially without groups built into Twitter.
