I recently had to unfollow someone on Twitter, and it wasn’t because the information they were linking was bad. The problem was there was way too much of it.

Do not post too often.

I post in spasms of joy when I can, but I try to hold back from doing too much at one time. People love me in small doses. That’s the same way I love people. Some robots on Twitter are relentless and–even if they’re providing some solid links–too much at once pollutes your Tweet Deck and feels like spam. Don’t stand for spam. Don’t sit down and allow yourself to be force-fed spam, either.

BONUS:

Twitter is a conversation. You can talk. You have to listen, as well.
