The Twitterverse is going to mirror natural human behavior, afterall! Even the Wild West did settle down a bit. I do like Andrea Hill's saying: "Tweet, and let Tweet" I agree with Momblebee…set your standards high enough to set the example you wish others to follow.

It is a subjective view. What is really irritating or sleazy to me might be interesting or entertaining to someone else. People all have different standards and methods of operation. The only control we can have is over our own actions, interactions and connections. Behave yourself to your own standards and use the block and unfollow feature as you see fit to control who is part of your own community. Thanks for stopping by and adding your thougths....

But even if people are using Twitter differently to others, there is still no excuse, i think, for being irritating to others. So for example, "shameless self promotion" is always wrong in any scenario. At the end of the day most of us want to promote what we do in some way. We just might do it in different ways to others. But always in a way where our audience and we both benefit, equally, in some way. As opposed to just one person taking centre stage and trying to control the show. Interesting post.

I sometimes block people who aren't necessarily spammers, but who I find annoying in either the frequency or the content of what they are saying. People that I'm simply just not interested in or don't see the connection, I just don't follow. I block spammers always.

Really? Or just not follow? That's another feature or behavior that people seem to use differently. Rarely will I block someone unless I feel they're active, intentional spammers. Otherwise, I figure 'tweet and let tweet'. Block? Really? Or just not follow?
