Many people are poor with their bio but still offer value (may be just learning) I would look at the number of ties they talk or retweet rather than just share links. How many lists they are on is also a biggyMichael Q Toddhttp://twitter.com/mqtoddnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2031530258657685977.post-27311757134354368692011-12-27T18:42:33.761-08:002011-12-27T18:42:33.761-08:00I echo that, Teresa.

If there is profanity laced comments, that is another flag for me. If there are links to items for sale, another no-go for me. And this might sound terrible, but if their bio or timeline is in a foreign language--without English translation, that is another no-go. If we don't understand each other or have no idea what posts are being tweeted on each others timelines...I fail to even see the point. Also, no interaction is a big no-no. Very interesting read-post and comments. :-)Teresa Cyphernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2031530258657685977.post-51981251895584732302011-12-09T11:03:41.026-08:002011-12-09T11:03:41.026-08:00Thanks, Tracy!

This is, after all, SOCIAL media, not broadcast media. Never interact with anyone? You'll not make my follow list.<br /><br />In terms of bios, though, Christian is one that is a turn off for me.

I follow Paul Miller, @futurepaul , he's a very good tech writer for verge . His bio is "I love my savior Jesus Christ, enthuse over pixel density." <br />He doesn't constantly do religious tweets or anything against other religions; he does post great content and interacts with other tech writers and fans. As far as I can tell no one is put off or not reading his content because of his bio and I'm sure he feels much better for having declared what is important to him up front. Not saying it's for everyone, but wanted to show an example of how it can be successfully balanced.Kirby Brunclikhttp://twitter.com/kirbybruncliknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2031530258657685977.post-1387837328148794292011-11-21T06:37:19.669-08:002011-11-21T06:37:19.669-08:00Great post.

I know people will probably freak out on you about that, but I couldn't agree more.

It could be an award you won for your doggy drawing in kindergarten. It could be an Oscar or Pulitzer prize. If you don't specify what kind of an award, I'm going to assume it's the former (since if it was something big, you'd surely mention the name of the award).
