David Risley has a blog post on what he views as the top five mistakes people make on Twitter.

Read them here.

Most of his points have to do with spammy behavior, basically using a program to perform Twitter actions, like tweeting, following, and direct messaging.

I somewhat disagree with his point about following, though. Why is it considered bad to follow people? Is the goal to have 10,000 followers and only be following 20 or so?

Will that show that you’re a very important person? You are worth following for thousands of people, but there are only tens of people who are more interesting or worthwhile than you?

   Thank you for this link. I agree that following loads of people isn’t so bad, besides, you could accidentally add leads But then if your not using it for business it could look pretty spammy to others.
