Are Your Twtter Hashtags Working? | Bloggers Lair | Yakezie Forums

Twitter got back to me today and fixed my hashtag issue, so it'll supposedly be good within 24 hours, plus in time for the next yakchat.

Here's the Twitter best practices link to see how to avoid or fix this: http://support.twitter.com/entries/42646

Looking at it now, I realize that I was guilty of violating their rules, but not maliciously.

I do repeatedly post duplicate or near duplicate content – But I'm just RT'ing shout-outs with my peeps, what's wrong with that?

I do abuse trending topics or hashtags I suppose. – One thing I was doing, and I come from a creative writing background, so I just do this for fun, but I try to create quirky and fun sentences using like 3-4 of the hashtags together, so I just try to mash them together into a fun statement or poem if you will. I also was using the #yakezie hashtag a lot there and some others, but how do they distinguish this from when say you're doing a #yakchat with the same hashtag again and again.

Sending automate tweets – Okay, what, I can't auto-tweet my new posts just once, come on.

Aggressively following or un-following – Guilty, I like to whack hundreds of non-followers at a time, and I follow people back 20-30 at a time, so what, that makes me a twiminal.

I get where Twitter is coming from with the rules, but they could at least warn you before cutting you off.
