Those who only use one or two hashtags and who mix automation with real in-person engagement). Granted, I don’t like ANY automation, but that’s for other reasons we’re not going to discuss today and another post entirely. […]

Even well-crafted pre-programmed tweets are still SPAM. Our world changes on a dime and instantly. Many authors ended up in hot water because, “Buy my book, now FREE!” posted in the midst of a tragedy. And the time spent undoing the damage to the author brand probably exceeded that time “saved” by automating tweets. […]

Oh, I was on, but it was sporadic and minimal. Missed the Kardashian accidental faux pas.

Many others (myself included) don’t have the guts to point out big personalities. Great.

Metrics are evil and don’t reflect reality, but that’s just my opinion.

Numbers of follows is perceived to show success, and a certain number of tweets have to be sent out round the clock to catch people in different time zones.
