<p>Agreed, don't use it for spamola.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>That will get you unfollowed super quick. You need to add some personal content on there - not just a "Buy my book it's great http:\\mybookrocs.com" type post.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>You can slip those in there - kinda like Gary demonstrated...but Twitter is all about personal interaction. People follow you because they're interested in what you're doing.</p>

<p>I have over 2,000 followers...honestly I have no idea why. Still it's cool they follow me. However, I'd prefer to follow only those I find interesting. I don't want to follow some dude tweeting about his latest date with the "Hottie 4Shizzle".</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I typically follow sports celebs (as I also write for some sports blogs), other authors, publishers. Things like that.</p>

<p>I need to get better about the social media though. I typically don't visit it them that often. I haven't gotten "rich and famous" off my novels so I still have to hold a day job.</p>
<p><br/>When I get home, I need to find time for the wife, my writing, and my down time. I don't really have much time to social network.</p>

I appreciate your reply and especially your examples. Most people just give the pat answer of 'engage and follow'. With your response I see at least one practical use.

<p>I don't get involved in conversations. Not even sure how to do that on Twitter. :-)</p>
<p>I do the "follow" thing just to increase my audience. I think there's a lot more to Twitter than I've taken the time to explore. Like you, I'm so busy keeping up with my other social forums that I just don't have the time to learn all there is to know about Twitter right now.</p>

Do you do the follow or follow? What about conversations? I can treat it like a press release, I suppose. Is that about what you do?
