No follow for you!

So I have been reading a lot of articles by so called Twitter "experts" who tell people that the "polite" thing to do is to follow back everyone following you. Uhm...no!

No offense to those following me but the beauty about Twitter is that "I" get to choose who I follow. I am following those that I have an interest. There's no science to it really. If I find someone that I think could be cool, I'll follow them and sometimes I unfollow if I lose interest.

There are a lot of folks that follow me that I, for the life of me I can't figure out why. For some reason I have a large following from Florida, perhaps my name is written on a bathroom stall down there. Regardless why you follow me, don't expect to get followed back, I'm not a follow backer and there is nothing that says I have to be. I'm not trying to be a jerk, it's just I have a hard enough time keeping up with those I do follow. I would simply be overwhelmed if I followed everyone.

For those of you following me, thanks, I'm glad I can entertain you with my witless ramblings. If you're following me only to gain another follower then move along, there's nothing to see here.

I agree!
I don't follow that follows me because the point of twitter is that it's honest and relevant.
When someone that follows me has a 5 digit "following" count, I know they want one thing- a follow back! And I ain't givin' it! :)

Mama always told me to save it for someone who really loves me. Ha, kidding.
