It's basically the same concept as the Twitter Slut. It applies to people that either spend too much time on FB or who comment too much on FB (Thats me) or anything in between.

Being relatively new to the Twitters, I thought I had coined a new phrase in "twittersluts" this morning. Sadly, I see that I am a year and a half late on that, but it's good to know there are others out there who recognize the behavior patter. Well said, sir.

Most of these guys seem to want us as an adverising audience. If someone follows me, I have a look at them, see if they have a blog, and will usually follow them back for a while. If the conversation is one way and high volume, I unfollow them; if they're interesting, I *will* take an RSS feed to netvibes. Unless they're a bot, I don't block them. <em>Steve Ellwood's last blog post..<a href='http://shaidorsai.wordpress.com/2008/04/03/how-to-use-social-media/' rel="nofollow">How to use social media?</a></em> Near on a year later, it still goes on.

Usually they're more open about getting followers -- lately they've been tweeting that they "almost have 100" so please add them. Sheesh.

I got that guy last night, too! I hate ignoring these people and am tempted to block them (which I don't) but they are obviosuly on some sort of quest or dare to accumulate as many friends as possible. They are not about building community. And in these strange times of ours, I am not interested in letting these folks too close. Funny where we put our boundaries and where we put our trust. Thanks for a good post, Maria. Yes!!!
