		<description>I first used the internet in 94, with a $3200 laptop (486dx) my aunt brought home from work. It was boring as living hell and akin to meeting God at the same time. There was no search engine besides Lycos and you rarely came up with results. Most pages had links to other sites, and this is how you navigated, one likeminded site to another. Our 14.4k connection (56k wouldn&#039;t exist for years) cost about $10 an hour, as it was charged by the minute...</description>

		<description>The solution to this problem could be to check online digital identity of the person we are following. We can trust people having their blogs or websites running for a long time.People having anonymous identities on twitter looks suspicious and have no concern with reputation.</description>

		<description>I find it interesting that Seth&#039;s account was opened in October of 2008 and he has 38K followers in 8 months and then decided after 8 months he wanted himself a tight knit community of tweeters.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Why not scrap the account and start over?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Although I do agree it is important to be selective it is interesting how the &quot;selectiveness&quot; occurs AFTER you have collected all the people who you later decide are worthless.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;He says goodbye to the people who send him the $9 requests ...ummm why would you follow them in the first place?  You mean to tell me he was so wrapped up in collecting more than 5K followers a month he didn&#039;t notice this within the first few hundred?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;He says goodbye to people he claims use &quot;placeholders&quot; and now he has a whole collection of placeholders as followers too funny.  Nothing like double talk eh?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The most amusing of his ditty&#039;s was the one on 3rd party tools.  That was just too too ironic when he turns around and cooks up his scripts to dump everyone.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Everyone is entitled to their opinion and his opinions are hollow.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Just another good write-up for his blog and using the understanding that most would not bother to un-follow.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;He can wrap it up anyway he chooses and anyone can argue whether he truly is a &quot;spammer&quot; either way it was a very slick way to get himself a great rating so kudo&#039;s to him even if it was sleazy.   Kudo&#039;s always work in the short term yet effects of karma in long term don&#039;t always work out to one&#039;s advantage.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Would respect his opinions more if he deleted his account and started from scratch.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Just MHO&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;thanks for the write-up Brett</description>

<p>Why not scrap the account and start over?</p>

<p>Just another good write-up for his blog and using the understanding that most would not bother to un-follow.</p>
