You Don't Need To Make An Announcement When You (Un)Follow Someone [TWITTER TIP]

Two quick pieces of advice about follow/unfollow etiquette:

  1. You don’t have to let somebody know when you’re following them. Twitter does that for you via email, and if the person has opted out of receiving those communications then they’ve done so for a reason
  2. You don’t have to let somebody know that you’re about to unfollow them. Even if you tell them why (in bone-shattering detail), what exactly are they supposed to do about it?

Grovel to win you back? See the error of their ways and do a complete 180 with their life? Ask you to marry their daughter?

BONUS: Never tell somebody that you’re thinking about following them.
