a quick contradictory tip to everyone else, i really dont reply to everyone that @replies to me, if i did, thats all i’d do all day. i prefer to just watch the tweets go by and reply occasionally. i know i lose followers all the time for this, but the people i know and have connected with know thats my policy, so they stick with me… i know personally i dont follow someone whose homepage is just a series of @replies, i just assume they’re an @reply spammer, (see also SEO) and that bores me..
