Automatic Direct Messages or Not?

I’m not too interested in the auto-generated DM. Whenever I see it, I’m much more inclined to unfollow. I figure I’ll never get any real connection with those people. I’ve answered a couple of times when it looked like they are offering to interact and so far, I’ve never gotten an answer. I’d much rather have someone answer a comment or retweet something.

If you understand Twitter, you know that you won’t always get a response; messages just get lost in the stream. I don’t think it’s polite to auto DM, it’s usually an indicator of someone selling and that’s all they care about.

That’s how I tend to see it, as well. However, there are some well known Twitter teachers who highly recommend using them. So, I’m just wondering what the “man on the street” take on it is.

I don’t like them at all. They actually make me more annoyed with the person.

Got something to say?
