Thanks for your blog and another great post. I've often wondered about how your "follow all who follow me" startegy was working in regards to the porn/spam problem. This is why I do it all one by one. I'm not pulling the numbers you are, of course, but I probably never will, and that's OK with me. More interested in connecting in SOME relevant way with people who will care what I have to say or who may be able to share valuable thoughts/resources with me. Keep me on your list, man. I have learned so much from you. Bless you and your fam and ministry! Hey John. Thanks for your blog and another great post.

When I first started following you, I wanted to send you a DM with a brief question. However, I realized that I couldn't send you a DM because you weren't following me (I was still that wet behind the Twitter ears). I emailed you instead and you responded in a reasonable amount of time. All that to say this: Twitter hasn't replaced your Email account. :) You don't have to auto-follow everyone on Twitter to enable them to open dialogue with you, if they want to.

I'm not going to interact with them so why do I want to see all of their tweets? I now have a three pronged approach for following: 1) People I find with similar interests or who look interesting for some reason. This includes people I meet in the real world 2) People who interact in a meaningful way with me. i.e. people who follow me and respond to tweets I send with either intelligence, humor or both. Regular RT's help too. 3) People that @katdish tells me to follow - because she's less than 3000 miles from me and I'm scared of her! I’ve never auto-followed, I don’t see the point.

You however, with your excitement of hitting your 13,000th twit so flooded my twitter page and sorry to say a large quantity of them were meaningless dribble (admit it) that I missed personal replies (not dms) because they were so many pages down buried under your tweets. No matter how valuable an insight you may have to offer, if you flood twitter w/ hundreds of pointless tweets you are not innocent yourself from diluting twitter's usefulness. even good tools can become useless if they're abused. i get your point.

I've never auto-followed. Just doesn't make sense. And to be honest it just seems a little like you're trying to be a hustler. just never felt comfortable with it. John, I applaud you. Congrats!
