I automate some of my tweets, as you say, you cna't be there 24/7. I think like any network you get more out of it by getting involved, and on twitter this is about conversations. How else do you find out what toehrs are up to or where opportunities to collaborate with others are if you don't engage in conversations? Hi Karen,

Twitter is certainly about conversations. I automate some of my tweets, as you say, you cna’t be there 24/7. I think like any network you get more out of it by getting involved, and on twitter this is about conversations. How else do you find out what toehrs are up to or where opportunities to collaborate with others are if you don’t engage in conversations?

Yes, automation can never replace conversation, that's what makes us human. Mixing automated tweets with real ones is a great idea as it keeps conversations The other point about app's like Tweetlater is that you can plan what you're going to say, so that you cover the range of topics that you're interested in. Thanks for the ideas, Jon You make some great points in here Karen, I like it.

I hate Auto DM "Thx for follow" messages, but they are a clear indicator of whether the tweep actually cares or not! Even worse if they point to a site or try to sell something! Just as offensive as trying to use Twitter as a Classified Ad list - Unfollow beckons! Great post, thanks - keep em coming! Howard Hi Karen,

And that you build relationships, and conversations, with people. Claire Hi Karen

Like all things, I think this is about balance, I can’t remember who I saw say this, but I think what they were saying was similar to your point, that you can post your key, strategic content, automatically. And that you build relationships, and conversations, with people.
