Random Twitter How Not To's - The Gratuitous Autogenerated "Thanks for following"
This is a pretty minor How Not To - but still worth noting. Here is an example of a generic, probably autogenerated, "Thanks for following". If it weren't autogenerated, the sender could easily have included a salutation, like "Hey Mark!"
Ipso facto and e pluribus unum, I don't think this person is really "looking forward to" my posts, because he hasn't even looked to see who is following him. The autogenerator is looking forward to my posts. Isn't that special?
So, this message seems stale, even fake. And fake is not good if what you want is to be a trust agent.
What do you think?
