New to Twitter? A veteran looking to maximize your time there? Here’s one tip: Don’t “Autofollow.”
There’s a tool, available for free, that can maximize your time spent on Twitter. It’s called SocialOomph, we’ve used it off and on for the past couple years.
You’ll find features that will allow you to do things like manage multiple accounts, or queue up updates on things that can be sent at off hours.
There’s a dangerous feature, though, called “Autofollow.” And, even though we did use it with our Area 224 account, we have turned it off within the past month. Why?
It’s no joke: as we’re going through the list of followers – those who are receiving our updates in their stream – we found about 200 very similar accounts. All of them doing the same thing: “FirstnameLastnameYY.” Same type of bio.
You want to maximize your time spent, and you don’t want your stream clogged up with crap like this. Don’t autofollow.
