There are a few things I’d like to point out. First, I’m not a fan of the twittergetter thing, I don’t want followers who I won’t relate to in some way.

Now, look how many people Perry is following, currently 59,000 and that goes up by several hundred every day. Is he interested in what those people have to say? Could he possibly keep up? Is he mass following hundreds every day just to get the follow back? Is that relationship building?

It seems you’re kind of comparing red apples to green ones here, yet refusing to admit that they’re both apples.

Both Gary and Perry seem to just want lots of followers, which is not what I’m about personally on twitter, I mainly connect with people from my local area or people I’ve connected with online.

But then there is no twitter rule book.

I did buy the book that Gary is selling, incidentally, a few days before I even first heard of twittergetter, he didn’t write it, he must have just bought the resale rights as I was offered the same after ordering it from someone else.

Wasn’t bad, I’ve spent a lot more on a lot worse.

And you’re complaining about McCaffery selling a product about twitter on a website that no doubt gets an ass load of visitors everyday FROM twitter? Damn, he’d be an IDIOT not to, and wouldn’t be much of a marketer if he didn’t.

Useful, though a bit long! I picked it up from a twitter follow request and came to check your site. I’m impressed! Thanks.

Good post. Picked it up on twitter. Saw both ’snake oil’ approaches mentioned on ecademy’s Twitter Club. Wholeheartedly agree with your take on the subject and have posted a link to your article within the forum.
