I'm @KevinTCraig on Twitter.


Word of warning...don't send "thank you for following me" DMs...either with or without links. People should learn how to use Twitter. I only mention this because it's been horrendously bad the past few days.

As someone very, very new to twitter - what does that mean? Is it a social faux pas to thank someone for the follow at all, or is it a specific problem to use a Direct Message to do so? Is the preferred etiquette not to say anything, or a follow back, or some other form of acknowledgement?

I've been getting like a crap ton of thanks for following me DMs. Actually my whole Twitter has gotten to be this pile heap, where I literally don't care about anymore.

Plus I get like a crap ton of hate-follows from people that like have never even met me, yet pretend to know me. It's to many people to block, as it seems like everybody at times.

Because you know, I never met you. But I think your a**hole, (general) your an a**hole right?

Strongly considering either deactivating, or crafting a password so long I don't remember. A lot of my author friends don't even bother with social networks. My thumbs up to them. Like I kid you not, I can't seperate a follow AW board member and some random person that hate-follows at times.

I think some of those thank-you-DMs are automatic and the twitterer doesn't know that they are sent. I spoke to someone a while ago about one they sent me when I followed them. They had no clue they DM'd me. Although, I gotta say, I think I've only ever received two of them.

I've been lurking on Twitter for a while, but now I'm trying to become active in tweeting. Most of my posts will be about NYC, Broadway, and writing. I'll be going through and adding people from here.
