i think auto response is first of all polite
and autofollow is first of all showing respect
and it takes time to sort everything out
Twitter is great and should be a tool for everybody
open for every new idea

This post is Hilarious.

Doesn't this go against all the principals of of twitter/social media? It completely removes the interaction factor and efeats the purpose of being on there in the first place?

Let me tell you something… If I get a sniff of you sending me an automated response…. DELETE! Have a good life. And please don't send me "thankyou for following me" DM's. It's like small talk at a dinner party. There's no place for it.

Kate,

I'm not a fan of auto-reply either. I think it's lazy Twitter-ing.

"All in all, it’s a pretty nice suite of administrative features for anyone looking [to] have more control of their Twitter activity."

Sorry, I think it has the opposite effect — losing control. I prefer to pick and choose when I tweet and who to, not 'set it and forget it' systems that take the personal approach away.

Cheers,

This sort of stuff is ruining twitter. I've started unfollowing people if I get auto replies from them. Twitter is about connecting… with people, not robots.
