The #NoAutoTweet List Has Started

How it works:
If you don't want to receive any form of automated tweet then simply send a DM or @reply to @NoAutoTweets with the words "follow me" and I will follow you. The list of tweeps that are followed will be used to indicate how many tweeps would like to be able to opt-out from receiving automated tweets.

Hopefully as the size of tweeps followed grows the magnitude of the list will convince app developers to build an opt-out function which everyone can use.

Once you have requested to be followed I will then provide you with as much info as possible about how to opt out of automated tweets.

The ultimate hope for this list is; that Tweeps will be able to opt-out of automation just once rather than having to opt-out from each Twitter companion individually, some of which do not currently provide an opt-out function.

@Jesse founder of SocialToo does not support AutoDMs and has already stated that he will acknowledge that the people followed by @NoAutoTweets do not wish to see automated tweets of any sort.

Tweetlater currently provides a great opt out service and are very supportive of allowing tweeps to choose what sort of content they receive :)

So send a "Follow Me" DM or @reply to @NoAutoTweets and help me work with the Twitter companions and app developers so that everyone is given the choice of receiving what they want.
