It would be cool to see an example. @Ksenia: I schedule up to five tweets per day and space them out because I don't want them to dominate someone's tweet stream. I invest the time putting together a series of tweets that I think would be of interest to my followers. The scheduled tweets are information/knowledge sharing based. When I tweet live it is more personal and conversational. @Amy: would you be able to provide an example where your firm has tweeted on behalf of your client? It would be cool to see an example.

But what about scheduling tweets? I was once subjected to someone's malfunctioning scheduler - two dozen tweets at once - and it really made me wonder how many people are doing it and what are the downfalls? Completely agree.

I don't want to read information from users that use a 24/7 API with pre-injected tweets, I don't want to follow users who are not socializing. and looking at all those users trying to promote automatic tweeting makes me sick to the bone! . "Go to hawaii and let our Super Auto Twitter do the job" yeah it will do the job, of making people abandon your twitter and stop following you! get real, Social media is about being social, if I want to talk to BOTS I will go try mIRC Well, I am kinda new to twitter, and while going through the stages of learning I stumbled upon several users like you describe, my response was to unfollow them.

But, what about people who don't realize these things? How can you make them feel the importance of conversation when they are crazy after automating things and saving time? I'm thinking the answer would be that we ourselves should follow the right path and let others do what they want. I want to know your thoughts on this one (maybe this sparks an idea for another blogpost ;) ).
