Twitter (et al)

I’m thinking that this weekend I’m going to re-do my friends and followers list on twitter … and perhaps protect my feed.

First of all there’s a bit of noise … followers/friends that I cannot for the life of me remember how/why we know each other. Secondly I have some followers who, while I like them very much, I may not want following my status day to day. Lastly (and most importantly), the previous point has made me consider that there may be a small number of people I follow that for whatever reason I have now mentally put into the “didn’t really have a fair opt-in choice” as to my following them.

So, while I may unfollow some accounts I’m not interested in … be aware that If I unfollow you, this may not be the reason. I may simply have decided that you deserve a new ‘opt-in’ choice around me following your status day to day.

If I remove you as a follower please don’t take this personally and simply re-follow me if you are interested or shoot me a “WTF” email and I’ll (probably) re-add/un-block you.

Most importantly, if I stop following you – please don’t take this personally either – shoot me a “WTF” email and I’ll re-follow. And lastly, If I do un-follow you and then later send a new follow request – you are free to decline/ignore it.

Anyway, I may or may not get this done this weekend, but its a safe bet I’ll be doing some list pruning in the future. If these actions leaving you thinking “WTF”, just shoot me an email and it’ll all be made well again.
