I will say when I hit my limits on Twitter. The first people that are cut out of my circle are the ones who have the extreme differences in followers! I need a reason to clean house and this is a great way to make changes. Their is no reason for a Twitter snob. Social Media is about Networking though I don't agree with Perry Belcher and the automated response to find me on Facebook. This could be taken the wrong way as well as the auto DMs he was complaining about. You could already be following him and their for he isn't listening.

@coe if you're inferring that I'm inferring I'm an "expert" then I strongly suggest you read my stance on the term and theory of expertise. Everybody has different uses for Twitter, and everybody uses it differently, but having a following:followers ratio so unbalanced gives the message "I don't care about what you say, I only care that you care what I say." That, on top of them NOT INTERACTING AT ALL and only promoting themselves is universally ("twitterversally"?) considered broadcasting, something that is just not cool and IMHO, gives them no authority to be teaching a class and charging people money where they clearly don't even have a grip on the basic culture of the service itself. @Mirigi I agree to a point, but there are some people who need someone to sit down with them and just walk them through it. There's nothing wrong with that, not everybody is as well-versed in internet schtuff as we are. I am reminded every day when I'm out and about in my little community that my "natural habitat" of the internet is uncharted waters for many.

I guess those types prey on the those who are just too busy to do their own homework. Within less than a week, you can learn pretty much everything you need to know about Twitter, for free, no matter why you are tweeting. Not sure what’s sadder, the scamming or the scam-ees.

Great food for thought!

I would argue that there are no "experts" in the Twitter space beyond self proclaimed experts. Just because you have alot of followers and people you follow doesn't make you an expert. coe’s last blog post..Job Seekers Take Notice
