A little bit of personal responsibility…

While I think there is something to be said regarding spammy behavior on Twitter, this is the ultimate issue: you choose who to follow (or not), so at some point you have to stop whining about it.

Read the full article, if you get a chance, it’s excellent.

Twitter spam. Really? Are you even paying attention? I’ll say it again, you choose who you follow. If you’re following a newsbot, you’re going to get news spam. If you follow a good friend who can’t stop RTing, you’re going to to get retweet spam, but complaining about it is like standing the middle of a freeway asking, “Why do these cars keep hitting me?”

…you need a Social Media Strategist/Guru/Mahatma to run point and decipher the turbo-complicated, multi-leveled world of the big, wide web.

Only you don’t.

You don’t need those sites and you don’t need that guy on your team. You need to find The Mission and do everything in your power to ignore the voices that compromise it.

Don’t be a spammy-mcspammerton.

It won’t get you anywhere.

Sure, build an “Elite Power Account”, but don’t call yourself expert, maven, guru, or coach. Spamming Twitter does not make you a Premier Thought Leader. It makes you an Idiot.
