[...] not informational. It’s not personal. And most people view it as spam. In fact, a post written back in December 2008 gave good solid (but slightly misspelled) advice on how to use Twitter as a tool. It’s [...]

Thank you for the great post. I agree with RexHarris. The also realize that the auto DM/auto follow doesn’t really do anyone any favors.

Note: I have NO IDEA what this says – I couldn’t get it to translate on a few sites that I found…so feedback is encouraged!

[...] Automatic direct messages are probably one of the top ways to get a quick unfollow and bad rap from the community. It is nice to automatically thank people for following you, but try just doing it yourself? You’ll avoid being tempted to include a link to your site and if they unfollow and follow you back again… they’ll get the same DM and realise pretty quickly how insincere you are. [...]

Couldn’t agree more. It is so transparent I just think it tells you a lot about the person doing the auto response. They miss the whole point of what the technology is enabling. If we all dropped them like spammers… Well, we know they do it, though, because of the numbers game and it works with some people.

Thx for post. Great stuff.

The more I learn about Twitter, the more I realize that the auto DM/auto follow doesn’t really do anyone any favors.

I don’t know the exact numbers, but I know that most of the people using auto DM are not using it to assist them in building relationships… and he last thing that we need is one more “tool” that encourages spam.

Based on recent events (i.e. Social Too removes auto DM feature), from what I’m hearing, it won’t be long before auto DM will be a thing of the past.
