I find it amusing when people follow me on Twitter, they’d expect me to follow them back! And when they find out that I don’t follow back, very soon they’ll un-follow me. Please understand that Twitter is a social media site. If I find nothing in common with you, why must I follow you back and get ’social’ with you? Oh please…. follow back is not an obligation.

I vet my followers manually. And if I don’t follow you back, here are some reasons:

1) Your bio is a complete blank. There’s nothing about you, about what you do and where you’re from. Worse still, your profile picture is the default Twitter one-small-and-one-big-circle avatar!

2) Your web bio is a link to an affliate site, some get rick quick scheme or pornographic site.

3) You precede or follow every one of your tweets with a link to your own site.

4) You consistently use vulgarity or foul language.

5) You have thousands of followers and followings and yet less than a hundred tweets. It’s a dead giveaway that you’re using some bots to boost your follower’s count (a.k.a your ego).

6) You joined Twitter for less than a month and yet have thousands of followers and followings. Another dead giveaway that your bot is in action!

7) Your name is of complete opposite gender from your profile picture. Duh?

8) We have nothing in common. So why bother?

I repeat. Twitter is a social media site. Not a place for people to flaunt their followers count. I’m not impressed with numbers. I’d rather follow someone who only has 50 followers and yet is an engaging Tweep than someone who has tens of thousands of followers but do nothing more than just tweeting power quotes or RT-ing other Tweeps. Remember the ’social’ in social media sites!
