Why I Am Not A Good Twitter User?

I have read many Twitter Tips and enjoyed it, but I could not follow any of. I think I am not a good Twitter user unlike other smart guys but sure I want to be. Well, I don’t say I am bad Twitter user only not good. I try to make people to behave well on Twitter, sorry I don’t try, I only think; but many people, mostly friends (give and take!) suggest me about using Twitter better way. I want to share why I am not a good (but probably modest) Twitter user.
I do not reply Direct Messages (Dms); I mean, mostly I ignore.
I have to clear why I ignore, if you send me a DM to check your newly launch website or recently uploaded Youtube video, sure I will check it and reply too. But if you DM me to click the link to get thousands of followers or dolors, then sure I will never reply or ever care about it.
I post only links.
Something I have to say about it too; it is not 100% right, I post almost links, and most of people don’t like only links about tech news and social media. But many times I post my thoughts also, and any stuff interest me I reply too.
I post too many links.
Sure, I post about 30 thirty links in a day, I try to post what interest me and what is related to tech news and social media. I always try to promote new users who write well and original.
I do not follow peoples, only follow back!
It is also not true, I have followed many great Twitter users, who don’t follow back me and I don’t care only because I respect them. I don’t like to follow first and wait for follow back. I am happy with me.
I am a Robot.
No. Probably not. I post mostly links and can not identify who is spammar, so don’t think I am a Robot, I am always a human.
Again I want to be a good Twitter user.

Madhav,
I would not say that you are not a good Twitter user. To each their own. There is no right or wrong way to use Twitter. Twitter is great for discovering new content, but terrible at holding real conversations.

Yes I am sometimes bewildered by what people say in there. One Direct message I have says that they are here to help me with twitter, but since they don’t follow me, I can’t seek any advice from them. My Followers seem to be leaving, and I’m wondering if its because something I said or perhaps didn’t say. One way or another it doesn’t bother me, I simply appreciate getting links to new content, as you seem to !

Hi Mike, thanks, perhaps you are right. Twitter is great for discovering new contents. Twitter is lacking something is conversation platform.
@Pcd2k you have something similar in Twitter experience I think. I don’t care who unfollow me, because if I loss 5 followers in a day, in contrast I get 15 followers.
Very valid points that u had observed, everybody keep in mind while using TWITTER, thnx for posting, LOL

@Joseph this is what I want to say. Thanks and welcome for your first comment on TechShali.
I don’t know whether there’s a “good” way to twitter. But I sure enjoy your posts here and on friendfeed.
Peace,

Don’t beat yourself up about being a crap Twitterer – you’re a pretty crap blogger as well.
Dear Pete I fuck Gobbledygook. I know why you hate me so much, keep in mind; you are still living in old days and can not wear me, but I don’t care it, you can go in hell.
