I’ve had a few head-scratcher direct messages sent to me. If you can’t say something publicly (in social media context) why tweet at all?

Why wouldn’t you want others to know you think a particular person is awesome? Where’s the fun in that???

Hopefully it helps them, too.

It’s really is the fastest way to make a friend in the Twitterverse!

Love the positivity and agree about giving praises liberally – something we’re not taught to do though!

I saw it as not cluttering up the public feed. (Is that the right word? lol) But I realize now that comes from years of being involved in loops. For those who receive the group’s messages via digest, you don’t want to have 100 ‘thank yous’ mixed in with all the messages.

The way I found your blog, Kristen, was after posting two questions about Twitter Etiquette in Romance Divas–an online writing community. They were: 1. do you autofollow and 2. do you thank every follower whether you follow or not. Everyone said ‘no’ to both questions. They may follow someone if they like their posts, but they won’t autofollow. I went ahead and unfollowed people I didn’t know or who weren’t published. What a snob I am!

I haven’t read that much here yet, but I’m gathering this is NOT how to build a network. 🙂
Thanks for Twitter Tuesday.

Okay, I’m not going unhinged here, but . . . golly, I just want to be able to thank whom I please, so from now on–thanks, Kristen–I’m darn well gonna.
