Those who blow their own horn will not be listened too for very long. Here is the link to the <a href="http://www.chrisbrogan.com/shup-the-hell-up-you-self-promoting-turd/ target="_blank" rel="nofollow">article you mentioned from Chris Brogan</a>. Can you clarify your last sentence? You might include your Twitter ID so I (and others) can be sure to follow you. Tony-

Great points.

Those who blow their own horn will not be listened too for very long. Here is the link to the article you mentioned from Chris Brogan.

Can you clarify your last sentence?

You might include your Twitter ID so I (and others) can be sure to follow you.

I suppose I can appreciate following large groups at once, but for god's sake, QUALIFY them first. * blowing your own horn - A recent quote from @chrisbrogan I love: "Here’s a truth: If you have to tell me you’re the best, you’re not. If you have to write that you’ve got an award-winning something, you’re worried that I don’t know you have game. If you’re selling the best whatever-it-is in the world, stop talking about it. Start telling me how I can use it to make me into a superstar." Is 'internet marketer' the 18/f of twitter? epic fail. * mass spam follows – A funny one I got yesterday was a guy whose bio describes him as an ‘internet marketing genious’, but that falls under #3 as well.

Thinking signing up and doing nothing will make the site useful and interesting is a blunder indeed. Thanks for your input. And keep it rolling with those dumb auto DMs! Great one Warren…

It's natural to feel like you need to wait till you have something profound to say, or see a friend who told you about Twitter at work. Best to jump right in. "Following" means you clicked on a gray button.. it's not a commitment ot life long allegence. Go ahead an follow a few people that look interesting. Answer a question and engage in conversation. Don't lead with "would you like to buy from me" .. that works about as well as it does at the buss stop.
