The question is better asked: how quickly am I unfollowing content providers that double-post their content to Twitter? Just to be clear: pretty quickly.
Twitter serves a different purpose than blogs, Facebook status updates, etc. If you're shoehorning all your content into all possible channels for attention, well that's just spammy.
- access_denied 18y agoNo it's not. You want to provide your content via every channel, so your audience has the choice on how to follow you, via email-sub, rss, twitter, whatever. And of course: if you follow via rss already, you don't want to follow via twitter too. So much is clear anyway.
- barredo 18y agoMy solution will be something similar to this. The company/whatever creates two twitter accounts, for instance: @Company & @CompanyNews. This way you can follow the one you are interested in, or both. Even create multiple twitter acounts by topic.
- mustpax 18y agoThat's fair. I should explain myself better. I don't have a problem with twitter accounts that are exclusively clones of other feeds. Then I know what I'm signing up for, it wouldn't be fair to call it spammy. But when I follow a regular twitter account I expect short, self-contained tidbits. When people decide to leverage their twitter followers to get traffic to other services, that's what I find annoying.
- Tichy 18y agoI'd like everbody to post their stuff to twitter, because I don't use RSS readers anymore.
