#9 – does unrelated mean that the topic has nothing to do with the hashtag name?

There are folks who follow by the thousand every day and unfollow those who don’t follow back . Hope it is clear now

Hm, this is all very arbitrary. What is a “large number of users” and what is a “short amount of time”? I’ve been working mostly as the social media marketer at my company and there have been days when all I did was find relevant people and follow them. Does that mean I could be picked up as spam only because I’m trying to build relationships?

Great list. Good to see they are trying to limit the annoyances caused by some. I have not had much of an issue with Twitter spam, it is easy enough to just block that annoying Tweeter… But for people who are trying to build a brand or market, these are definitely some good rules to follow, I agree with Cal that they should be on Twitter’s site map.

I know a few of the ones listed, such as #2, 3, 14 & 15 can be the most irritating.

A useful list – as a twitter Newbie I have to say that there appears to be a lot of it going on. To me, networking has always been about organic growth. I first entered the workforce as a freelancer in teh early 1980s – pre-widespread Net access – and if you wanted to build a network of contacts it was done via your work, trade shows, word of mouth, etc.

This meant that it took time to build a network, but that network was gold – no dross, no spammers, each member hand-picked. Today electronic media has allowed us to build massive networks but with little ‘quality control’.

I don’t see the point of buying followers unless you are a mass market publication / seller – and in that case it’s likely that unless targetted the folowers you buy are not good matches to your needs.

It may be slow, but I honestly suggest build up organically – lets make 2010 the year of quality not quantity.
