Meryl – for clarification, yes some, careful use of automation is fine, particularly in the case you note (spreading out reply tweets you don’t have 10 in a row). The problems are with 1) bot-like behavior where it appears the tweetstream is nothing but automated messages (no interaction) or 2) making the automation too obvious (e.g. 2:00, 3:00, 4:00…). Stagger things a bit! Automation isn’t evil, I believe it just needs to be used judiciously.

Disagree on automation. You should NOT automate everything — agreed. Many of us cannot be on Twitter all day as we would not be effective. So rather than tweeting 10 times in a row and overwhelming people, we spread the tweets — we just don’t reply right away. Not all tweets are simple RT. Sometimes they are responses to people. We don’t all pay attention to the time of response unless we’re in the middle of a conversation or a chat.

Hello: I sometimes find myself lost, as to what to tweet about. I’ve only been retweeted once, and that was a comment I made at newsweek. My tweets have often been inspired by whatever mood I’m in…I Am Beginning to feel either ignored or feared; maybe both! Nevertheless, I will write on what makes immediate sense to me. I’ll take on anyone I come across…TDS
