Thank you for choosing to follow me on Twitter, based on the fact that a keyword I used happened to trigger your automatic follow system. It’s good to know someone (albeit an automated “Bot”) is reading my tweets! (I appear to be very popular with the Automatons.)

However, permit me to express some amusement…

As a human of flesh and blood, I decided to take a look at your Twitter profile, and notice you’re growing incredibly popular very quickly. The email that Twitter sent me to tell me you’re following me said you have 1,248 follows, and now I look at your profile, you have 1,415… an extra 167 in 2 hours. As a Bot, you must have a lot of good things to say!

Except that I looked at your last 10 tweets, and it seems you promote your own product a lot. However, to be fair to you… you also provide a blend of inspirational Zig Ziglar quotes, so I can be inspired while receiving your plugs in my Twitter stream every 3 hours.

So maybe I’d consider following you back (after all, who in their right mind wouldn’t want inspirational quotes?), except I have a feeling our relationship would be a little, you know… “one-sided”.

Except, too late… it looks like you unfollowed me already. Wow, that’s mean!

I guess I didn’t “make up my mind” to be your follower in time. (Your owner obviously set a short unfollow time!) I guess I lost out on the opportunity of a lifetime there, along with those Zig Ziglar quotes.

Ah well, I guess I will have to get my inspiration and product plugs elsewhere.

Farewell… until the next bot. [sigh]
