Reply | Original | Permalink | TweetSerial retweeters.
Reply | Original | Permalink | TweetIt's about time Twitter put an end to this game.
Reply | Original | Permalink | TweetWhy should number of retweets figure into a reputation ranking system? The people that show discretion and retweet far less are more respected in my mind.
Reply | Original | Permalink | TweetI like the concept of “Ambient Awareness” Nicely written.
Reply | Original | Permalink | TweetPeople that are serial retweeters are not offering anything original, they are simply aggregators.
Reply | Original | Permalink | TweetHere’s a novel idea. Instead of spamming twitter names to everyone, why not just say have a look at my follower list and let people pick and choose who they want to follow.
Follow friday was a nifty idea for a week or two. Now, it’s beyond the point of being annoying.
Reply | Original | Permalink | Tweet@Sheamus point taken. If I want to make sure I don’t miss someone’s tweet’s I’ll setup an RSS feed so I see every one of their tweets.
I suppose I’m just not thrilled with the “tweetdeckerization” of Twitter movement in general. Why follow someone in the first place if you’re going to siphon them out to the “all” group in Tweedeck. In general, people that do that seem to be mainly concerned with increasing the number of followers they have.
In my opinion, people have been led to falsely believe that the more following/followers you have the more influential you are, and are gunning to increase those numbers at any cost.
Reply | Original | Permalink | TweetI love when people talk about “grouping” in Tweetdeck. What they are really saying is let me follow everyone under the sun but ignore everyone except a small group that I interact with daily. Not an authentic way to use Twitter. Quality over quantity people.
Reply | Original | Permalink | TweetNot a fan of retweets. Unoriginal, high-tech a** kissing.
Reply | Original | Permalink | TweetI don’t know about this. I find real value in conversations about someone’s lunch.
Reply | Original | Permalink | TweetFinally. An admission that prolific RT-ing is polluting the Twitter-sphere.
Reply | Original | Permalink | Tweet@jamieharrop I have nothing against an occasional retweet. However, I see too many people (especially Tweetdeck users) that retweet 3, 4, 5 times or more an hour without any contribution of their own.
I prefer to follow people that provide something original, rather than those that fire up Tweetdeck and simply parrot what others have said.
Reply | Original | Permalink | TweetUgh. I don’t enjoy seeing a flood of RT’s in my stream. In my opinion, retweets are a new breed of spam.
Reply | Original | Permalink | TweetGreat, another way for me to easily recognize retweets and ignore them.
