"Fallow me on Twitter" – Seriously?

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to our RSS feed. Or, join our email list and get a free audio gift. Thanks for visiting!

Received this via email to a ton of people and I have one simple question: "Are You Kidding Me?"  You honestly think I have absolutely nothing else to do today than a) deal with email like this from you, b) drop everything else I’m doing to follow up and or send you a tweet?  Come on people – PLEASE THINK before you email, blog, tweet, etc.  There is something very real and it’s called digital etiquette…

From: XYZ
To: David Nour
Subject: Fallow me on Twitter

I have recently joined Twitter and I would like to invite you to fallow me. All you have to do is log on to your Twitter account then search for me as "XYZ". Then you will be able to receive my free Newsletter, Blogs, and Website information. I would love for you to be apart of my social media network!!

So, if you don’t mind send me a Tweet,

Thank You,
