Twitter Etiquette Question
I'm a fan of Twitter and have a few questions and observations. If you use Twitter, you can follow me here.
Is it me or is it annoying when someone games the API and adds me? I get an email saying someone new is following you and I see that they are following 8,000 people but only 40 people are following them. Spam like that is lame and is a quick way to get blocked. Twitter should put some limits on the number of adds in a session or hour.
Sometimes, I get a person I don't know following me, which is fine, as they could find me a variety of different ways or via someone they are following. When someone like that follows me, should I follow them as a courtesy? I usually do, but was wondering what other people do.
P.S. ErieBlogs.com has a Twitter feed as well.

But if someone really wants to folow me or be my friend I follow him as well. Some of those people I don't know even wrote me nice and comforting messages when my father died. I never had a bad experience so far.
