After reading all your comments I have to agree that @ginidietrich deserves high honors too as she's definitely making the Twitterverse a better place. Think I need to go tell Mr Tweet about her. ;) Your welcome Nora.

That is what people do not realize about Twitter and social media in general. Too many people are using these sites in an attempt to earn some kind of status for collecting numbers of followers (notice I did not say "people," friends, connections, etc. If they are not trying to push an old-school marketing message then they are stroking their new-school narcissism. People, please, for your own good, pay attention to what Bob wrote! Nobody cares about your toe fungus, or your "free" self-improvement dvd until they know that you care about them (even then, I doubt many will care about the toe fungus!) Thanks Bob for the Dale Carnegie 101 reminder. I'd love to get to know you, feel free to follow me- @daveisbell. BTW- @ginidietrich rocks! She is probably the friendliest person I have yet "met" on twitter. Gini, I enjoy your "OCD" replies to my RT's and DM's and I'm trying to emulate your kindness and civility!

I've been trying to sort out why I pay more attention to some people's tweets than others. In fact, I read this article because of a Twitter post (thanks Glenn Hilton.) It seems that some people think of Twitter as a series of classified ads for their products. I don't feel like I have received any information of value from their tweets. You nailed it on the head.

Kindess is never, ever going to be overrated and so with these three together, you've got a winning strategy! I agree, Kat is one of those people who WOWS you when she comes on the scene! She's a great example for anyone who wants to learn how to engage! Being engaging (and authentic) is the key!!

I always say be yourself, be authentic, be transparent, and be honest. It's so easy to translate how you act in real life to your personality on the social networks. I have a friend who teases me because I answer all @ replies and DMs. It's important to me that my followers know they have a voice and a place in my life. I might be a little OCD about it, but it goes to every single one of your six points. People are people. They want to be social with people. They buy from people. This is a new way of having relationships and it works! Bob – You are SO RIGHT! I always say be yourself, be authentic, be transparent, and be honest.
