If I was one a famous twitter user, it'd be even crazier gaining another 150 followers everyday. My whole concept of trying to look at their profiles to decide if I wanted to follow them would go out the window... Unless I was auto-following, you'd have to say something @jeffsawyer or DM me to hope to get my attention. In this respect, I really really respect people that do stay on top of it. This is true of @GaryVee, but I'm not sure it's true of many other people right now. Sorry for commenting back so late, I don't know why, but I didn't get notified of this comment or something. Shrug... @ John Ellenich

I'm not sure if I clearly stated this or not, but that's exactly what I feel makes Twitter unique. There are no set rules about the way the follow button is to be used... Maybe I have some double standards too that I really didn't get into. Ha. I actually think it's fine for a business to auto-follow everyone that follows them... But to each their own. Personally, I haven't had to deal with any crazy Twitter time management issues yet, so I still take the time to make decisions on who I want to follow on all accounts. It's all relative I suppose. I do tend to follow everyone that follows @rollerhome though... just because I figure the majority all share a common interest and I do try my best to at least scan all the tweets as much as humanly possible too.

I have eight twitter accounts for various things and each one is used differently depending on how I use the account and how others use the tweets that account provides. It seems theer are a lot of people looking for the single magic sauce to "win" on twitter. Just enjoy it I say :-) Why does there have to be one rule for everyone?
