Fair Weather Friends on Twitter

There are a few things that really get under the skin of Twitter users. One is really annoying: people that follow you for a few weeks, then suddenly quit following you, expecting you to keep following them.  The fastest way to spot this is the quick direct message inviting you to view their ultra cool way to get rich.

Note to marketers:  Get to know people before you pitch them.  You might get a page view to your squeeze page this way, but you'll be much better served to learn who might be interested before tweetspamming people. Twitter users are starting to wise up.
