Haha this list made me laugh but it’s definitely so true. Thankfully it’s decreased over the past year, but I still tend to get them from time to time.

I don’t do much of the “Top 10″ anymore, but the line at the end described me the best~ if you’re not communicating with your audience–if you’re a one-way, broadcasting billboard–I unfollow you.

I have 117 followers right now, but only chat with 2 and not very often. Like my blogs, my twitter posts seem to be for myself.

erica i do love your clever, well-informed acerbity!

please can i ask you to re-consider your use the word douchebag as an insult. i feel it has very sexist connotations and i suspect that you, as a confident, go-getter woman, don’t want to undermine other women.

keep up the good work, i really enjoy the blog.

I love all of them. We are on the same page… everytime I see one of the mentioned, I am like WTF seriously!? I randomly found your site through one of my friends tweets. Good work!

Good tips Erica! These sound very familiar to me.At least when it comes to Twitter, some people think that adding a lot of “friends” is the best way to go and then spamming them with offers, when it actually is not.

Twitter and other social sites is not about advertising,it is about being social and sharing.

Well I am just very new to twitter and following – like just signed up today (with much reluctance) – rolf!. Rest assured I am following you because I saw Steve Pavlina twitter about you a few weeks back and liked your blog posts.

But some good tips for a newbie, like me. I now just wish I could get a really good understanding of how twitter works as I find the @….so confusing.

I follow so many because I like seeing the @ replies to others. Twitter used to offer this as a feature, but turned it off several months ago.

I read all @ replies to me (including the one Charles just sent me.

My friends list is pretty fluid and changes regularly. I add and remove people all the time.

I found your post through Ching Ya ‘s tweet. I’m so glad that I’m not a
Social Media Douchebag, but I have met my share on Twitter. I have more people following me than I’m following.

I was directed here from David Risley’s post, you were 1 of the 4 bloggers who he introduced. ^^ I found this post title particularly intriguing that I had to jump in for a read. It’s really sad, actually. Social media can be such a powerful tool but if wrongfully used, the impact can be disastrous. Selfishness is not tolerated in real life, what more on social networking involving tons of people all over the world? May we all will never ever be labeled as social media douchebag, do I hear Amen? ^^

Pleasure to meet you, Erica.
