In one of my “You don’t follow me back and I don’t find you that usefull” purges I unfollowed David, I think it was late December last year. To my surprise I was followed by David within 24 hours! Now, I use the web interface so I flip through my follower pages on a regular basis. When I noticed David had slipped off of page 1 of the most recent followers he suddenly unfollowed me. Since then @Szetela has proven he is all about using cheap tricks and not real conversation to keep his numbers high and his exposure maximized.

His strategy: stay on people’s first page of followers so when others check their followers for people to follow they will find him more often.

His tactics: serial follow/unfollows to keep him on the first page.

His results: as of this post’s publication he has 9,252 followers and is following 10,149.

This sort of tactic is just plain rude!

David Szetela followed me three times now…

…That’s 3 strikes and your BLOCKED!

Lets face it, if Google considers it worth it…

But seriously, it’s not about sharing…not entirely.

I had someone Follow me on Twitter today, I followed back and received a DM. These DMs when I just follow people back are annoying at the very least (unless I actually know who you are) and offensive/block-worthy at worst. This one was neither, it was actually intriguing!

There was a mini-link and it said I’m not an autoresponder and I thought, what the hell, right? So I click the link and it’s about how the dude understands Twitter.

Thanks, but I was interviewed by ABC in October because I understand the s**t out of Twitter. So, instead of just unfollowing or deleting, I decide to ask a question. (I know, I’m a glutton for punishment.)

"Why did you share that with me? I don’t understand the intended value."

The response (paraphrased) "We’re supposed to be sharing, at least that’s what I do in social media."

After I was done laughing, I blocked him.

Social Media and Networking are about (seriously, if you never hear anything else I say – listen to this)

Sharing something the recipient WANTS to receive!

Such a subtle difference, but really, it means everything.

Everything.

I mean it’s the basic difference between push and pull marketing, right?

The real rub is that this guy owns a marketing company and doesn’t get it. That’s unforgivable, especially when your tweet and follow up show me you don’t get it but your semi-snotty retort is that you get the sharing what’s my problem? 

Seriously. I don’t know you…why would I give a rat’s behind that you think you get Twitter? I mean, where’s the value in that?

Next I’ll have to applaud when I see people on the street slip but not fall on ice. "Good for you for not falling! You’re a rockstar!"
