The latest thing in the world of Twitter is sending automated messages to the new followers of Twitter. Automated direct messages are sent directly through the twitter website and can be viewed only by the sender and receiver. Twitter is all about social networking so that you get to know more people and can widen your friends circle.

The person who receives your message is known as follower. You can send automated messages through services such as Tweetlater. With the help of this you can automatically follow people who are following them. Then a message is created which is sent to all the new followers.

Initially when you send automated direct messages to followers it seems to be a cool thing and you feel good when you get a message thanking you. In this manner you start building your community. A stage will come when you will be receiving a lot of automated messages and you would be deleting most of them due to lack of time.

So the very purpose for which you have begun this network is being defeated. Twitters very purpose is to build relationships, but is it possible to get to know a person through automated messages.

Certain enterprising people have utilized the services of Twitter to expand their business. They have expanded their clientele and they owe it all to this community building network. It is very useful and comes in handy when you want information regarding a certain thing. You just need to post your queries and you will get an answer immediately.

At times the automated direct messages tend to get on to your nerves when certain selfish people try to use it for their benefit. For instance at times you tend to get automated message which contains links such as links to your website, blog, free download, podcast and so on.

You have not built any kind of relationship with this person and when you receive such messages you find it very annoying. And at times you are flooded with so many automated messages and more than half would be meaningless, you're important and genuine messages tend to get lost in this crowd.

That's when you feel that probably the traditional method of sending messages are better, when you can send to only one person at one time and then read their reply , in this manner you build a relationship by actually talking to the person and getting to know each other better. In case you want to block these direct messages then you can take the help of SocialToo website which has invented for the Twitter account an automated valet which will block all the phony messages and you get to view the genuine ones only.
