But there are times I get "followed" and I have to wonder . . . are they real or is it just another scam?
Last week I attended this awesome session at USA Today about Cause Marketing. The timing was perfect as it led into some amazing discussions I had with colleagues, co-workers and friends looking for advise and guidance in this area. Since the conference which I tweeted about http://twitter.com/#search?q=%23u2MAD , I have had a slew of new "followers" - I have a rule about "followers" -
- I don't follow in return unless I like what I see posted by the follower,
- they have an actual avatar and not John Cussacks face - only Joe Meehan can get away with that, and preferably the avatar should not be wearing a bikini - not that there is anything wrong with that . . .
- and they have to have something written in their bio - anything
I came across a recent follower I almost decided to follow until I saw their tweets. Here is a sampling:
Deleting a few hundred spam followers. When will they ever learn?
