Despite being a PR professional, I’ve only just started using Twitter in the past couple of months. I considered it high maintenance and superficial.

Then I did my research!!

I think for me it was just getting my head around it that took the most time in the beginning. But the other point to make is that I’ve spent the last two years being a government media advisor, so my brain was in a very risk averse place. That lead me to being very careful about everything I tweeted (not that you shouldn’t be careful anyway, but I was obsessive about it).

Now that I’m starting to feel more confident, I’ve jumped in a bit more. I also live in a smallish city so the local people I follow try hard to create a “community feel”, which is nice.

I think the thing that frustrates me the most (apart from the spammers) is the feeling that I’m missing things by not being online all the time!

Ari,

I haven’t really unfollowed people as a rule or practice… I also don’t think of my own action as “glossing over” anyone else. I do my best to participate — it’s not always easy because I am extremely busy with my job and work in the offline community — but I do feel that participating on Twitter is also a good use of my time so I dive in, look around, participate and share when I can.

Have you unfollowed Twitter users over the past two years? Or, do you continue to follow people and organizations that you once thought attractive and who you now gloss over?

I am “new” to Twitter – been around for a mere few months. I find it difficult to develop contacts/relationships. It seems many seasoned Twitter users view us newbies as irrelevant. .. and to be honest, I think many are. Those that are especially irrelevant (i.e. spammers) make it harder for people just trying to make a go of it.

Having said that – I have been most successful in connecting with people when engaging with them. I marvel at profiles who have a very low number of tweets, never seem to respond to people, and yet have high # of followers.

Anyway. Great post. :)

Really good insight! When I joined Twitter, in 2007, I thought you were supposed to let people now what you’re up to. Then, when I came back 2 years later, I discovered it could be a great place for sharing intersting links and taking the pulse of what’s happening in the world. And I liked it, I think even if you tap into Twitter in 2010 you will get to love it for the helpful information it highlights.
For me, it wasn’t following people who had many followers, I just skimmed through one of my friend’s following list and chose people who I thought were interesting. I didn’t get involved in conversations, but merely followed people who talked to people I knew.
Guess I was trying to get the hang of it. In a way, you could say I’m still a newbie, that’s way I’m thankful for the list of things you do on Twitter now. I think I can really improve my Twitter experience by using it. :)
