#FF I must say I prefer a conversational Tweep to a list of names - tho' I have been guilty of writing lists when I cannot think of anything to say

REally like this one Chris.. I love to retweet things for my twitter friends. Like you I won't retweet generally from the DM box. It is too time consuming.

Now if youwould like to retweet my website (linked in name) I am building my foreclosure and eviction blog. I am amazed at what is happening across America.

GREAT post today and I will be retweeting it a lot.

Chris, Too bad every tweep won't read this, especially the spammers who are constantly DMing with requests, the best, the newest, the blah, blah, blah. Being interactive and responsive will build your following and your lists much, much faster. Thanks for sharing this great post.

Chris, thanks for re-tweeting this vlog. I think I see two unique things thru it:
1. It gives people a glimpse into the time cost of having a ton of and following a ton of people. I don't think those who just chase the high follower count realize what it would take to actually have a conversation with all the followers. Because they never think of the "conversation" part of the equation.
2. It really shows how generous you are with your time. I don't know many biz people who would do that. So thumbs up to you.

Sure and I dont mind helping - its just people really think my one retweet
is going to be magical for them, lol.

I agree. I don't have the follower numbers that you do but I've coached people that seem to think it's that simple. "Oh we'll just get a big kahuna on Twitter to retweet us...it'll go VIRAL!"

Loving your show Chris, glad I discovered it.

As a side note, I got so annoyed with that trend that I've stopped checking my DMs.

Jeff

Thanks man

Being consistent with your communication is a way better method to get noticed. Making it a dialogue instead of a monologue....that will get you noticed.

Chris
I think you nailed it. I have to add that the constant annoyance also makes some people unfollow and or block the offending user. I appreciate your efforts on others behalf. It's refreshing to find someone else that pays it forward.
