Susan M., I should clarify. The “tweet and delete” thing, for me, is annoying when I’ve “favorited” something like a link or a tip or a bit of good information that I’m going to want to come back to, later (I use “favoriting” like “bookmarking” much of the time, and then come back when I’m on the ‘puter rather than the iPhone, and follow links, create lists, make some action items, etc.), and when an information source (like, say, a company I’m following b/c they post great tips on something in which I’m interested writing about for a future column) posts and then removes sources of information within a day, I feel stripped of that info, and b/c I can’t always get to the link within the tweet *rightaway*, I need it to stay up long enough for me to “get to.”

Does that make sense?

I’m much less talking about the casual @ replies that are chitter chatter being deleted. I understand the reasoning, there. Much more talking about those who Tweet to Inform, who then remove some of their info before it can be acted upon.

So, I’d rather not get invested.

But yes, of course, it’s your account, and you “do what you want” (said with my head swirling like I’m on the playground being all sassy). That’s what makes it fun!

Love you, Leah.

I used to follow everyone who followed me because I felt I had too. Now? Forget it. And if I start seeing multiple following emails from the same person I block them. Harsh? Perhaps. But, I have enough crap in my inbox. I kinda wish my phone had the same feature.

This post reminds me that I should clean up my following list. There are way too many people in there that I care nothing about. And some of them are pretty damn annoying.

Brandon – You are one of the most unsuckiest people I know. An auto-DM is when you follow someone and you get a reply back instantly that says Hi! Thanks for following me! If you need any info about car insurance, @me a question!!

Getting a vasectomy gives you a free pass to talk about your parts for awhile. And your tweets are funny, anyway. xoxo

i suck because i talk all the time with anyone who’ll listen how much i love twitter but i have no idea what auto-dm is.

also, i’m pretty sure that all my tweets are somehow related to sex. and/or sects. and of course, my ‘business,’ if by business you mean the private parts that i recently paid a doctor to stab.
