Not everyone uses CAPS LOCK the same way. Some people type everything in caps because they like to, or they don&#39;t like to use the Shift key, or whatever.<br /><br />But enough people perceive CAPS LOCK sentences as shouting that it&#39;s something you should be aware of if you choose to use it that way.Kerry Scotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03939381204186890096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691016683378293851.post-46823002284031611902011-09-01T20:02:24.238-04:002011-09-01T20:02:24.238-04:00I&#39;d like to comment on what Kerry Scott said. ...I&#39;d like to comment on what Kerry Scott said. Please don&#39;t assume that if someone doesn&#39;t follow you back on Twitter, it means they &quot;looked you over and decided they didn&#39;t want to know you&quot;. Not everyone uses Twitter the same way. Please don&#39;t take offence. In 99.9% of cases, none is intended.Judy Websterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02331380147873608965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691016683378293851.post-67394849592206449622011-08-30T10:27:07.917-04:002011-08-30T10:27:07.917-04:00I have a genealogy circle, and other circles.

Now, there have been a few people who I felt were questionable, and had nothing to do with genealogy as far as I could tell from their profile. One with wings on her photo... blocked. She was creepy! If they don&#39;t have the word genealogy in their profile, blocked. My stream is busy enough. If they can&#39;t be bothered to use enough words in their profile to tell me something about them, I won&#39;t bother to link back to them. The other thing I review is their wall posts. I find the new is wearing off of G+ and it&#39;s not as busy as it was a month ago. So, maybe now is a good time to review those &#39;people in common,&#39; but the word genealogy needs (for me) to be in the profile or I&#39;ll go right past them!Leslie Brinkley Lawsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01989388855284668564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691016683378293851.post-88432042151460927372011-08-30T10:14:26.646-04:002011-08-30T10:14:26.646-04:00Interesting post.

I had created a bare-bone profile and hadn&#39;t added anyone to my circles. But a I got a message saying that someone had added me to theirs...I have no idea who the person is although her profile contained the word &quot;genealogy&quot;, as did mine. I&#39;m not familiar enough with the ins &amp; outs of G+ so have not taken any action so far. I&#39;ll be monitoring!

I look at each and every one of the profiles, and decide based on displayed behaviors or what they&#39;re representing whether to follow back. If I find them offensive, I block and report. If I simply don&#39;t care, I allow the follow but don&#39;t follow back. If we have anything in common at all, I follow back. <br /><br />I wrote a bunch more, but it was turning into a blog post of its own, and the topic was beginning to drift a little, so I&#39;ll just post it on my blog. :-)Daniel Dillmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15407854481964964535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691016683378293851.post-82136743438360144462011-08-29T22:57:31.806-04:002011-08-29T22:57:31.806-04:00I have also been thinking on this because I have s...I have also been thinking on this because I have several people who are not involved in genealogy in my circles. The other day I did not add someone. I do not see any reason why I should at this point. I have added some people because other &quot;genealogists&quot; had them in their circle, but I made a separate circle which basically says these people are unknown to me. I make sure and check out the person now and do not go by who has them in their circles. I will probably move some people around to different circles also. I do not want to delete genealogy people, I want to make sure they are talking my language first, some say they are involved in genealogy, and talk about anything but!my Heritage Happenshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06245411628267355846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691016683378293851.post-46922511877585691352011-08-29T22:11:56.401-04:002011-08-29T22:11:56.401-04:00I&#39;ve had a handful of people include me in the...I&#39;ve had a handful of people include me in their circles who appear to have no connection to genealogy (despite the fact that we have lots of genea-people in common). And they have large numbers of people following them. If I don&#39;t see any posts indicating an interest in genealogy or some other major common interest, I just don&#39;t follow back.Greta Koehlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05429623811794360612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691016683378293851.post-1142514526634873492011-08-29T17:36:34.116-04:002011-08-29T17:36:34.116-04:00I think the same person may be following me.

The fact that it says that you ...I don&#39;t care. The fact that it says that you have this person in a circle means nothing to me. For all I know, it&#39;s a circle called &quot;Losers&quot; or &quot;People I Can&#39;t Stand&quot; or &quot;In-Laws.&quot; I don&#39;t have any idea why you chose to follow that person back, and it&#39;s none of my business. It shouldn&#39;t factor into my decision as to whether to follow them myself.<br /><br />I have a strong bias in favor of following people back, on G+ and Facebook and (especially) Twitter. If I decide that I don&#39;t like the person, I can always unfollow. But to give them a cursory glance and say to them, &quot;Gee, I get that you want to hear from me, but I&#39;ve taken one look and decided I don&#39;t want to hear from you&quot; is...not for me. Unless they&#39;re obviously spammers or celebrities or faceless corporations, I give them the benefit of the doubt. It&#39;s not like they&#39;re going to see any private info from me, because I don&#39;t put that stuff out there in the first place.<br /><br />There are two different professional genealogists I recently followed on Twitter. Both were in areas where I need research done but can&#39;t go anytime soon, so I was checking them out in advance of possibly hiring them. Apparently they both looked me over and decided they didn&#39;t want to know me, because they didn&#39;t follow me back. So I guess I need to find someone else to hire. <br /><br />That&#39;s the thing...you can&#39;t tell by looking who&#39;s following you. It might be a long-lost cousin, a potential client...who knows. But if you refuse to even start a conversation, you won&#39;t ever find out.Kerry Scotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03939381204186890096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691016683378293851.post-12517552007185961462011-08-29T10:51:49.661-04:002011-08-29T10:51:49.661-04:00This is an interesting post.

Generally, I think that the main reason people are on social media to begin with is to as you so aptly put it &quot;fish for fans.&quot; Well, at least in the circles I&#39;m in which is the writing and publishing industry. And I don&#39;t mind that because it&#39;s part of the purpose of social media. But I tend to enjoy those who work at building relationships with me, where the ones just fishing and that&#39;s all they do are really just names.KarenGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01153821980625034810noreply@blogger.com
