I manage my Twitter follows very actively.
Have clear ideas about what I seek in followsCheck for new follows often (daily/3-5 times per
week)Follow if meet my criteriaMonitor if unsure /block/report spam if not
What do you do?
Strategies you use to manage followers/following?
Criteria
I look at some or all of:
Profile – does it tell me about them
Avatar – photo or meaningful image
Followers – type - proportion of educators
Follower/Following numbers & ratio – more followers
Background image – relevant or engaging
My own prefs – no: marketers, self styled gurus, social media experts, minors, pple who follow zillions
Recent Tweets – number, topics, style, type
Provocative avatar, tweets, profile, language
Free giveaways promised
Following many – few followers
Get a zillion followers by …
Repetitive tweets
Zero or minimal tweets
Self styled expert/guru
Heavy marketing “feel”
“Secret” information promised
What would you do?
Sort out these potential follows:Follow Block &/or reportWait & monitor
Managing
Managing is easier than it used to be:
On Twitter web
On Tweetdeck
Managing
Application share:
What should I do with this follower?
A - Follow
B - Wait and monitor
C - Block
D - Block and report spam
Hacking, spam, phishing
Manage your Twitter stream & you will:
Reduce your risk of being attacked!Reduce the risk of your followers being attacked through YOU!
If it happens?
If you get an unusual DM:Tell the sender
If your ac is hacked a DM can be sent in your name without your knowledge
If someone tells you they have had an odd DM from YOU then you can:
1. From your Twitter ac choose Settings
3. Check who has access
2. Select the Connections tab
4. Revoke access for those you don’t trust
5. Change your password
Click on “Help” on your Twitter for the support page and or visit their blog for updates on major issues
The key to fighting hacking, spam & phishingKeep your own nest clean
Warn your stream if you see probable attacks
Tell others if you think they’ve been attacked
Use Twitter’s report process
If you just block anyone who sends an odd DM then the spammers will win
Be kind! However careful you are it could be YOU next time!
