    I thought twice before deciding to follow, because a cursory glance at the twitters made it pretty obvious that this was an automatic tweeter, and you had seeded your followers by doing exactly what you had described: hitting people who appeared to be in the area.

    Dave - I agree with your note of caution. That is one of the reasons we went only with 'breaking' news in the feed - and also why I posted this blog entry - so people are aware of what/who is behind the effort.


    I hope we continue to stay on the correct side of helpful vs irritating - but as I said above, it is difficult for a company to find its way.


    I trust if there are things the community thinks we are doing right or wrong they will let us know - and we will do our best to improve on that advice.


    thanks for the note.
