I post links to music on Hypem all the time and I've connected with a lot of music minded people. I think number 9 isn't true.

But two things I do (so maybe defensive :) ): I do RT lots. I have always been a good 'connector' of people and ideas. Go with strength. Lots of good stuff out there and the more vocal of my followers appreciate my filtering for them (again, do this in 'real life' too). I have been thinking about reposting tweets during a day or week. Reason: some people, like myself, are only on Twitter at certain parts of the day and have way too many follows/friends to have good inbound tweets linger on tweetdeck. And streaming of search terms or followers is limited. Share your concern though. Think there is a middle ground. Curious as to other opinions on this... nice post! David Like this.

Some of us now feel closer to some minor celebs because we follow them on twitter, but if you reply to them, don't expect you get a reply back in all cases. Another one is to bloggers: Don't use twitter to solely post links to your blog. Some people use Twitter as an RSS reader, but most do not. If you can't inject a few link-free, but value-rich, tweets into your stream then what reason do people have to follow you on twitter as well as subscribe to the RSS feed of your blog? That's my $0.02. A corollary to #2 is not insisting that people follow you back, or even respond to your replies.
