Great article with intelligent, rational, logic-based advice. Thanks for getting the idea across better than I could.
I usually DM everything to you since I think it's better to waste your time than everyone's.
… and if you find it hilarious, you still give me the via. Thanks, buddy!
Yeah, but that's you. We know each other in meatspace as well as virtually. I forgive DMs from peeps I know at a certain level. I'm talking brand new “hey nice to meet you” peeps.
I agree – it actually sounds a little patronizing. I haven't had anyone do this when I started following them.
But CK? You don't have the unlimited data plan on your cell? Really? That totally surprises me. If I paid as I went on my cell, I would be broke in a week.
I always have roll over minutes too, so I've never had to recharge the phone early. It works for me for now, if it changes down the road or if Apple comes out with a new better iPhone down the road that requires me to get on a contract, I may change it.
You mean the value of social networking is still about actually connecting with people and not about spamming? damnit! when is life gonna get easy :)
amen, c.k.! gr8 advice – i hope it's been beneficial to those who are new to twitter and think such dm'ing is good twitter business!
That's a good call. I used to DM people in response all the time, since I wanted to keep my tweets relevant to my web site content (my Twitter feed was displayed on my web site). Tweets about my interests were relevant to the web site, but tweets about “yeah, me too!” were not, so those went in a direct message. I've since relaxed a bit and rarely DM people anymore.
Oh. Sorry. I owe you 0.20.
Next time I promise I will share @openly my interesting updates such as “Hey, don't bother me with DMs, I'm short this month”.
