I've realized my problem, and have rectified it. I still use TwitterFeed, but that is the only time I post a link to my site on Twitter. Also, I've stopped requesting that people become fans on Facebook. I went a little crazy there for a while with self promotion, but that was mainly because I was sitting at home, unemployed, and had nothing better to do. Anyway, hope we're good, as I am a big fan of Stogie Review and you guys are the reason I got started.

Heck, the guy that added HTML to email (and thus, ensured we'd be spammed to end of days) should be shot and quartered. It drives me up the wall. All I want is a simple method of connecting with others who are like-minded without all the distractions added to it. I do agree with many of the things you said.

I DO know why they do it because people who follow you may not be following him/her and this way it reaches more people and such - I still dont agree with it, but I do get caught up in it from time to time. Facebook - blocked on my router - I just dont get it. WAY too many companies trying to push shit and WAY too many people just trying to get 8billion friends. If you want to find me, I am out there - just look. Not like I dont use my real name on Twitter or even google wave - find me :p Mike no mention of laundry tweets - awesome - LMAO I find myself RT ‘ing some things and then asking myself why the hell did I do that – I dont like the begging either.

I did try Twitter a while ago but I am afraid that I only lasted about a week.My head hurts just thinking about it. I really don't know how you guys do it. I must be getting old or something. Take care. Hi Walt, I must say that I avoid facebook and do not find my life lacking anything for it.
