Fake Plastic Noodles - What’s with the Compulsive Following, Smarmy?

Online marketing, digital PR, direct marketing - all of it is based on quality, not quantity. Sure, I could go out and spam the hell out of Twitter with the Noodles, but will that get people to stick around? Hells no. It would probably make them like me even less.

Seriously though, what good is following 21,000 randoms if only 1,500 actually care what you have to say? The time would be so much better spent interacting with those 1,500, working at cultivating prosperous relationships with them!

Overheard on Twitter today…

soul4real : lots of Twitter spam starting. You know what I mean. People following just so they get their website in my inbox. Go away.

Befitt : @soul4real I agree. Same thing’s happening to me. I’m not to thrilled about it, either. Let’s keep Twitter spam free!

Just got another spammy follow notification. I think that’s going to be the scourge of twitter, much like spam is the scourge of email

Twitter spam makes me want to head for the hills. ‘Following’ seems like the most passive-aggressive spam, but it’s still annoying.

Ryan Kuder - How Do I Follow? Let Me Count the Ways

You follow 8,742 people and have 235 followers. You are a spammer. You’re doing exactly what email spammers do. You’re throwing out as many links as you can hoping to get a few nibbles. And there are a few people who follow you back. And all of a sudden, you think you’re popular. You’re not. You’re a spammer.
