Inevitably the ones thanking me for being a top influencer "in their community" are the ones that I barely know. Maybe I sent a single RT, or they joined my #PRprochat, or I sent them a thank you tweet. The ones that understand true engagement and social proof versus building negative social proof don't participate in sumall, communi.ty (sp?) and the like. 

I hate automation. I really, really hate it. It's against the very authenticity and real-time engagement that Twitter is founded on.
