I’m not a marketer or a blogger, but I do have an interest in marketing as a result of my MBA coursework. I am also new to Twitter. I follow people out of curiosity, or because they’ve said things I found clever. Tweeting is a recreational activity for me, and, I suspect, for a lot of other folks. Some tolerance might come in handy. Peace!

This is hilarious and well thought out. Admittedly I’m guilty of falling into a couple of bad habits from this list every now and then but what a great reminder of that – you reference the ‘human’ side of things a couple of times and very apt. I reckon just about every tweeter out there must have a few habits from this list!

Lisa,

Very funny article! But like the social media thing some of the points were confusing to me. But only some, I have already run into a lot of your examples.

Thank you, great article Lisa and yep, I’m in there. As a musician I do my utmost best to not annoy, piss off or spam people. I’m not famous, a celebrity or for that matter making big (or small) bucks like Amanda Palmer on Twitter selling ‘Friday Night Freaks’ t-shirts. I run my own digital label and work with a small handful of folks who are my friends. As the great actor James Stewart once said; “Be careful how you treat folks on the way up, cause sure as hell you’ll meet them on the way down.” It’s good never treat your audience as customers, but always as partners.

Great list. I wonder how many people don’t see some of themselves in at least a few of these behaviors. My ears pricked up at the RSS item. I don’t mind people who use their Twitter accounts as an RSS feed; in fact I follow a number of accounts for that very reason. My Twitter is my best source of information, both for professional reasons and just to keep up with what’s going on in this crazy ol’ world.

Good list. I especially found your Guy Kawasaki comment interesting. We followed each other about 3 months ago and all I got was a blizzard of automated tweets. He even had a barrage of “what I’m eating for lunch now” -type tweets and I was like, “where’s the value in that?” So I chided him for his empty remarks and to his credit, he actually responded by saying, in essence, “if you don’t like my tweets, don’t follow me?” I took that advice to heart and my twitter stream is better for it, I think.

I know ALL of these people. In fact, we were just discussing them after our South Florida Interactive Board Meeting last night. I think we could put a local name next to every category on this list. Thanks for sharing. Hopefully this public service will save others from the same fate

You could try to send a tweet message to @GuysReplies and see what happens.

BTW-Check out your favorite website traffic analyzer and alltop.com. As annoying as automating, etc. may be, apparently it works. 10% of alltop’s traffic comes from twitter. 800K uniques in Mar, doubled from Mar 2009. (Compete.com is the one I used).
