What We Really Think About Twitterers with Auto DM Messages
June 2nd, 2009
If you are an avid Twitter user, undoubtedly you’ve been pummeled by those unknowing Twitter users, or those knowing Twitter users who “think” they are being cool, who utilize Automatic Direct Message services to deliver you a message as soon as you follow the person. 95% of these direct messages generally are a message to “click my junk” whether its to download a “free” whitepaper, buy whatever crap they are selling, join them on Facebook or MySpace or just visit their blog, we all just know this as Twitter spam. What 95% of us do when we get Auto DM’s like that is unfollow that Twitter Follower.
However, Jason Falls has some other great insight I felt the need to share.
For those browsing without pictures on his insight reads: “I’ve decided people with auto-responder DM’s are the social media equivalent of the grade school kid with head lice. Smile, but steer clear.”
File this under “Great Twitter Insight!”
