Should I Follow All Followers? (pt I)
Anyone on Twitter gets a steady stream of new followers. The question is: do you reciprocate and follow them all? Or do you look at the profile, activity levels and types of posts?
For example, I was just notified I’m being followed by @1KrazyKorean whose philosophy of life is “Lifes Short: So Poop Alot =)”.
Typos aside (he is krazy after all) should I follow back?
First, you need to determine your objective(s) in following tweets. My objective in following is two-fold:
1. Professionally, I want to build relationships and interactions with current and prospective clients, while constantly seeking out new information that makes me better at my job.
2. Personally, I love to share and learn about photography, humor, politics and alternative country music.
As it relates to my profession, I want to follow all things related to SEO, social networks, PR, advertising and video seeding. For many of my clients, I also want to stay on top of developments and trends in the financial and commodity markets, futures, options and technology.
That’s part I, part II to follow.
