Unfollow Monitoring Services
This is pretty much a Twitter only article but to a degree it also applies to life. It applies to how you want to be
viewed, how your manners impact others.
On Twitter, you follow people to see what they have to say. Listening to others is good manners, ignoring
others is not.
In life, you talk to those you care to have communication with. You certainly do not have to communicate to
everyone but should not expect them to listen to you either.
On Twitter, if you follow many, many will follow you back. This means they are willing to see what you have to
say.
It's like you meet someone new and strike up a conversation. If you communicate well, a new friendship has
begun. I've made hundreds of good friends. I consider you one of them.
I've written a relate article which has proven very accurate: “Following Back"
But this is an article on the other flow. By that, I mean, what about the people that never follow me back?
So let me set the stage. Twitter is like a time stream. I post and those that follow me can see what my post,
perhaps read my articles or gain information.
When I follow someone, I consider it an action of respect. It is a per-selection of those I I think I would like to
communicate with.
And also somehow that person got my attention.
Following Back
If I follow someone, I expect to be follow back. It's simply good manners. I follow anyone that is not revolting.
See my article “Profile.”
Okay, lets say I do follow someone and they don't follow back. At some point, I'm going to unfollow as I don't
wish to carry dead wood.
They do not listen to me so why would I continue after a long period to listen to them? I don't.
Unfollowing
I wait ten days before I unfollow people. Then if they announce to the world “several people unfollowed me
today” (names listed), what does that say about them?
I see this as an action by them attempting to make me and others wrong.
They failed to follow back me and now they're complaining they've been unfollowed, dumped, by me and
others.
I've adopted the policy anyone that does this, I BLOCK them. Those people do not have good manners and try
to lessen others. I don't need or want those type people on my Time Line (See my articles “Instigators” and
“Who Has the RIGHT to INSULT You.”
2001/1800 Barrier
There is an exception to this. Followers hit the 2001/1800 barrier sometimes can't follow back. I'll go out of my
way to help them. See article “TwitTip-Barrier2001.”
But also they don't go about announcing who unfollowed them!
A side note, who cares who not following me or you? Give me a reasonable answer if you can.
If they unfollow me, fine. I have no problem with it. Usually when someone does unfollow me, I've unintentionally
pushed their buttons. They often will tweet me telling me I'm wrong and that they are unfollowing me with the
take that look on their face. That's fine, I block them.
Keep it Positive
What is important is WHO YOU're follow and who I'm following. Who I follow reflects my character and ethics.
See “Profile,” “Following Back” and “Protecting Tweets!”
If you want to look good, announce how many FOLLOWED YOU! Promote the positive about you , not the
negative!
One More Situation
There is one other situation that needs to be mentioned.
Because of these predator unfollow monitoring services, if you're suspended, they notify people you've
unfollowed them. So because your suspended, people start announcing “you unfollowed them” which makes
you look bad. This has happened to me.
The last time Twitter suspended me, wrongly as they quickly reinstated me, several people announced I had
“unfollowed them.” They were wrong. I had not unfollowed anyone. But the service, they used to check on who
was no longer following them, automatically send out these messages.
When I was reinstated, I pointed out to them I was following them. Most were apologetic. Some are on my
watch list as potential people to block. Related article "Suspended! Now What?"
Your Image
It makes them look bad to announce others are unfollowing them. Why would they do this? They probably
would not, the “Unfollow sites” do it for them, making they look like people are dumping them. Perhaps you
can tell I don't like or respect those services as they profit on the negatives in life.
Let me repeat that: ANNOUNCING PEOPLE ARE UNFOLLOWING SOMEONE MAKES THEM LOOK BAD!
With that, I believe I've said all that needs to be said.
I promote Twitter to enhance communication across the global.
