Words can barely express how much I love being spammed by competitors of a company I like enough to follow on Twitter. I'll certainly rush to give them a try, not hit them block button and mentally file them under 'wilfully does not understand Internet etiquette, arrogant assholes happy to waste strangers time to hawk their crap'.
- nestlequ1k 16y agoIt's good information, if used correctly. Just spamming them is the wrong approach. However, you can pull these records into your own DB and then use this as a lookup table (for example: when people sign up to contact them directly to close the sale). Probably some other creative uses as well. As long as it avoids spamming everyone at once.

- acangiano 16y agoYou can use third party service that provides you with social media information associated to an email address. Rapleaf and FlowTown are two such services.
- chunkyslink 16y agoI can understand what you are saying and I somewhat agree. However, are you naive enough to think that just because your emotions run so high on this issue, that someone might still offer a much better product than you already have or that just because they are using Twitter to contact you, that they might actually have something useful to say ?
