Comments on: How Many Tweets a Day is Ideal? http://www.twitterrati.com/2009/08/12/how-many-tweets-a-day-is-ideal/ The World of Twitter and Microblogging Thu, 11 Mar 2010 03:06:29 -0600 hourly 1 By: ThinkBlueFR8 http://www.twitterrati.com/2009/08/12/how-many-tweets-a-day-is-ideal/comment-page-1/#comment-6244 ThinkBlueFR8 Tue, 22 Sep 2009 12:55:00 +0000 http://www.twitterrati.com/2009/08/12/how-many-tweets-a-day-is-ideal/#comment-6244 With Twitter tools that allow one to group more relevant followers, I find it easier to hone in on the messages I am looking for instead of the just noise. I agree with many posts that relevant content is going to make me want to follow. Now this comes from a person with around 400 followers and 800 follows. I would assume that changes when you get into the 1000s.

In the end, I am just being myself on Twitter, I love to connect with the people in my stream and if I clog someone's stream, that person can just unfollow me. Doesn't phase me at all, but again, this is a very interesting post and I enjoyed reading it. Glad I came across it today!

The ideal number depends on your needs/appetite. Thanks for the thoughts. The ideal number depends on your needs/appetite.

If someone is following 350 people, and I post 20 times a day, my tweets might not monopolize their feed. If they're following 75 people, I will very possibly dominate their feed and become an unwelcome presence. So the lesson is Know Your Audience. One more comment, actually:

This whole stream everything you do online to Twitter has the potential to get completely out of hand. :) Good point.

Nowadays, many services redirect your activities to your Twitter account (Twitterfeed, a.tinythread.com, Posterous, Friendfeed, Flickr, so on): you click some "likes" in Friendfeed, you share 6 or 7 articles in Google Reader, you update your blog and you join some tinythreads and you are already surpassing this number, AND YOU HAVEN'T EVEN OPENED YOUR TWEETDECK. This number must be revised, or the number of startups that link their activities to Twitter narrowed down. Heck, once I even got my "likes" in Last.fm sent to Twitter and I didn't even know how I did it! But this is tricky.

Someone Tweeting 20 times a day is far too chatty for my liking, and I'll unfollow quickly. I'd ask that people not share every though they have -- just the ones that I need to know about. I think 10 a day is a great number. My threshold is much lower. Someone Tweeting 20 times a day is far too chatty for my liking, and I'll unfollow quickly.
