I got my first Twitter Spam today. Or at least I was invited to follow a Twitter account that was all spam.

Whenever I’m told someone is following me, and I’m asked if I want to follow them, I check out their Twitter page to see just what it is they Twitter. This person is following about 300 people and surprisingly, 50+ people are following him/her. I guess there are some of us who automatically hit the ‘follow’ button whenever we learn someone is following us.

Some Twitter people feel that one should always follow anyone who is following them, I disagree. I follow some people who I find interesting, but I don’t think they must follow me in kind. My Twitters are not relevant to everyone. While the crux of social networking is a many to many relationship, I don’t need to have everyone I connect with connect back to me unless they want to.
