Automation is sometimes necessary. It is not possible for someone to spend all their time on Twitter - being present and authentic. But overuse of this tool leads to people shutting you down. The whole purpose of social media is to be able to engage someone and have dialogue. I can't stand automated tweets and replies. People should also be aware that applications like Tweetdeck for example, tell you the source of the tweet so they know when you're automating. It's better to get into the habit of popping into Twitter a few times a day and sharing relevant, interesting information and responding to those who have taken the time to get to know you. Thanks for your comment Theresa, and thanks for visiting my blog! Hi Theresa, you are quite right. Automation is sometimes necessary.

There is a place for a some automated messages if they are relevant but will require the sender to check on the response that comes through. Don't you hate it when people just send useless automated messages that are meaningless on the hope you will buy something from them. I personally think it is great that some standards are being raised on the Net to ensure that we have quality communications in the internet community especially in social networks and forums. People need to either have something interesting to say or be genuinely interested to want to know others or else why bother, because your messages will annoy the heck out of recipients.

Yes, I feel the same way. People who use multiple accounts for spamming purposes are in violation of Twitters terms.

Further to that, I am beginning to hate the people that have multiple accounts under different names, but tweet the same message on each account. I don't need to read the same tweet 4 or 5 times in a row. I also agree that social media is all about communicating. But hopefully in real time. Kudos to SocialOomph, let's get rid of the spam!

Good for you! And yes direct interaction IS what social media is all about. I have gotten to the point now where I stop following peeps that generate their tweets solely using these kinds of sites. They are very vanilla and lack personality! Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts. Stop by and chat again soon! :-) Hi MH! Good for you!

These tend to be the most authentic and transparent. Some of my best conversations have started with these kinds of off-the-cuff remarks. And yes, SocialOomph definitely has its place. But it's important to change up the tweet even if it conveys the same kind of message, just to keep it interesting. As far as the white teeth are concerned, that has been popping up EVERYWHERE and it drives me nuts too... lol Thanks so much for your comment. I can't wait to see NINE!! :) Hi Mike, I agree totally with respect to the random comments. These tend to be the most authentic and transparent.

If I see one more tweet telling me how I can have whiter teeth I'm going to unfollow the person who signed up for the service that sent it as a matter of principal. Personally I use SocialOomph to prerecord announcements that have a specific date ("Tickets for our next show go on sale tomorrow!") so I don't forget and keep everything else live.
