These new networking tools make me feel like an old man sometimes. In relation to the article, I don't like that tons of people follow anyone and everyone in order to get them to follow them back. After a couple of days, you'll get an email saying, "Hey dude, I followed you. Why don't you stop being a prick and follow me back?" Guess those types of people are everywhere, though. @Linda – I’m still getting the hang of it too. These new networking tools make me feel like an old man sometimes.

Maybe that's why I can't find a way to send you a message on/ via Twitter? Linda Hi

I read and enjoyed this article – being relatively new to Twitter and still very much finding my way around.

Maybe that’s why I can’t find a way to send you a message on/ via Twitter?

I tend to agree with a few and disagree with a couple. I agree that you should try to respond to replies and DMs. To me that is one of the most important parts of Twitter. I also agree that it should be used for conversation. That is what you are there to do. I think that it is important to have a custom background. Notice I said custom. You are branding! Especially as a business. It's no different that branding your business card or website. As for attacking President Obama, feel free. It is free society and people don't need to agree. Many times disagreement is great to generate conversation. No matter your politics, it will generate discussion. Jeremy http://www.refocusingtechnology.com Adam,

I totally agree about the auto DMs and the annoying people who are having half conversations with the continuous @ replies. I mean, I respond to people but I try not to ramble on and on privately, in public! Engage in conversation or at the least, be interesting, not a total sales pitch all the time. Thanks for the no-no's. I'll keep 'em in mind.... Thanks for the insightful comments on Twitter.
