I absolutely agree. I also look for the various “real” characteristics – the human behind the profile. SEO and Marketing are big red flags for me unless they’re in context of the whole person. I find that the personality (or lack of) we look for in the profiles tend to show up the same manner through their tweets.

Thanks for the great comment. I’m glad you enjoyed the post and I really appreciate your feedback on my site. Thanks.

What I’ve been getting tired of is seeing the same old generic descriptors on profiles. Like SEO — that doesn’t tell me anything specific. I don’t follow someone unless I can somehow get a feel for their uniqueness, personality, and the possibility of an online relationship (even if only via Twitter).

That’s why I decided to go much briefer on my own bio recently and cut to the core of my “first impression.”

Your article really captures the cool truth that you’re giving off tons of first impressions on the twittervator when you aren’t even paying attention. Good to be reminded of.

I’m glad you liked the article. Thanks for the comment.
