When someone follows your company on Twitter, is is considered proper to follow them back?

I was just checking back to be sure I actually posted this, and didn't dream I posted it.
Not one response? This must be the most boring topic EVER!
-
Yes It is proper etiquette to follow them back.

Thanks.
And now this is no longer the most boring thread ever on ML.
That would actually be interesting. A section for boring threads.

I have enough trouble keeping up with all the threads here

No, but people hope that you will.

No
If you aren't going to interact on their posts, then why follow them? It is normal for companies to have more followers than they actually follow.
You should be concentrated on following users with a high value shareable content. That way you can share their content and in turn gain more followers yourself.

Now THIS is what I am talking about.
Tell me more. Unless, well, that was it.

Only if you want to. Don't give in to following peer pressure, or a feeling of obligation. This opinion is that of an introvert, though, so keep that in mind.

You need to formulate an actual plan. SMM is similiar to SEO in that everyone thinks it is complex, but it is actually pretty simple if you follow a formula.

As a business account, I wouldn't bother - why clutter your business feed when those people post?

You're likely never going to post to someone directly, unless you are replying to something they send you first. You're a business, not a person IRL.

This is good social media. For companies, your feed would be overloaded if you followed back everyone who followed you.
Twitter is the shout-into-the-void platform, and while is good for short term interactions, doesn't quite have the "get to know us" quality that communities and forums do, given our industry--those quick burst interactions might be good for selling soft drinks, but not servers.

Is social media a "right and wrong" type of art, or is it more personal preference?
We are starting ti delve into social media, and I;d love to figure out more about Facebook, Twitter, and anything else we should or should not be doing.

So wait? Is that really what you were saying? Google it? Come on. That's like Googling "what is the best raid level"?

I meant that there was too little porn.
