Creating Relationships on Twitter or Annoying Tweeps. Case Study.

 

Today I did an experiment on twitter, between my

2 twitter accounts

@peteinoz = 21,826 followers

@peterdrew = 32,010 followers

On each account I sent 1 tweet.

Got any short Jokes? tweet em to me the @peterdrew account.

Got any short Jokes? tweet em to me the @peteinoz account.

Why? as a way to interact with and have a conversation

my followers and see what happened.

 

When I received a short Joke I would

RT it to this account and copy and paste this RT

to my other account as well, sharing only those

funny and appropriate jokes between both lists

 

Was having a lot of fun, lots of funny tweets coming

to and fro, lots of people laughing, tons of my

tweets were RT'd all over the place.

Then lots of #followfriday's aswell. All seemed

to be going very well. I'm having fun, my followers

are very involved. I'm creating relationships with

those I've not met previously on a relatively large

scale.

Then one of my Internet Marketing Pro buddies

hits me up on skype, annoyed that I'm causing

about 50% of the traffic on his twitter account.

Initially he was annoyed I think, since he knows me

(king of automating everything LOL)

he thought I created a bot to send a lot of tweets

over twitter.

Once I assured him this was not the case, I was there

having fun with my followers, he seemed ok. But

Maybe during this joke session I may have inadvertently

annoyed some people, this will be easy to see

as I will check how many people defollowed me? or

gained new followers by all the RT's and #FollowFridays

I just counted how many tweets I sent over a 3 hour period

total for each account = 45

Is this flooding Twitter? I have no idea, Was there

any promotional material in any of these ? = No.

This is such a new medium, we are all learning

as we go.

 

So we'll find out in the next 24 hours

When I post up the new followers results for each account.

 

Hopefully together we'll all learn something new

from this tomorrow

See results tommorrow here
