Thanks Leanne that’s great advice, I’ve only got into Twitter since joining the Mom’s Panel and am finding it difficult to keep up with, especially with facebook, blogs and all the other things that I’ve started since December LOL

Hi Diane,
Thanks for the question! I love it when people ask me things. I check out 80 – 90% of the profiles of the people who follow me. I have absolutely blocked a handful due to the nature of what I saw on their profile page. (Risque!) I’ve also blocked those people who follow lots of people and have very few posts or people following them. That’s usually an indicater of a spammer. I will also look at what they are posting on their twitter pages. If someone is using lots of foul language, I will block them. I am also not under the belief that you automatically have to follow every single person who follows you. I did that in the beginning and ended up with some very annoying people on my page – people who post as many as 10-15 posts PER HOUR! I went back in and “de-followed” them with no hesitation. Hope this helps. Maybe Mikita and I will do our next vlog on “followers”. Have a great day/evening!

Hi Leanne (and Mikita!), great vlog. As you know, I’m not an expert with twitter. Was wondering how you handled your followers. I notice many people I don’t know following me…do you ever find a need to block any followers for whatever reason? Any watch-outs? Thx.
