Thought I'd investigate Twitter after all the raging.
I'm yet to be convinced this is better than something like Facebook, which seems to offer the same as Twitter with more flexibility.

Most of the Twitter guides I've read say follow as many as possible, they will follow you back, and it's then in the auto message you send them that you get to 'make money' via an affiliate link.

Hmm...

This seems like a load of old hooey to me.
Whne I get notifications of getting direct messages, guess how many of them I read?
Yep, none.

So it's logical to assume that everyone ignores them.

Or am I missing something here?
