Conversation on Twitter is different than real life. Learn the difference between genuine gratitude on Twitter and absolute overkill.
The Art Of The Twitter Thank You
The thanking happening in the Twitter stream is out of control. We’re thanking for follows, retweets, for “congrats” on every piece of good news and every other thing else. My post, “The Twitter Thanking Crisis” suggests a new set of practical guidelines for better ways to say “thank you” like visits to blogs, retweets, and authentic interaction. In other words, I propose we stop the over-thanking and make better use of our social media time.

Thanks for this. Can’t believe some even thank for the thank-you!!
Nice post! I’m not really bothered by it. However, I have to say I’m only on twitter for about 5 minutes, per day and I’ve trained my eyes to cut very fast through the b/s. I use my lists more when I’m looking for something that’s important to me. Not that I’m an expert on twitter or anything! I actually feel it’s the most overwhelming of all the social media.

Krystle–exactly!!! You don’t want to get all tit-for-tat about it, but if you generally retweet something worthwhile of someone else’s–even if it’s just once in a while–that’s so much more appreciated than a random “thanks.”

I don’t respond to anyone on twitter for anything unless I really wanna. Nope, no one ever gets “thanks” out of me
But I haven’t exactly seen it happening either. Maybe I’m just in the wrong column
