I find them impersonal and intrusive. When I get a DM, not only does it go to my Twitter client on my computer, but I also get an email and a text message (I don’t like to miss DMs because they are usually important). I have unfollowed people because of auto-responders. It’s a tough call, because I do understand why people do it, but I would rather get nothing and engage in a conversation than get an impersonal DM.

I chose to follow you from reading a blog post that recommended you by someone I trust, therefore I didn’t unfollow.

My response was “@SueOnTheWeb there is a difference between being personal & setting expectations!” At least that is how I thought about it. There are still some people that will follow me that inspire me to kick them a DM.
