An interesting question that arises, and one which I recently put out there to my own network is why do we unfollow on Twitter? I thought I’d share some of the more common responses to this question.

Two things that make me unfollow someone:
1) Unsolicited suggestions about a link I should check out make me check a person's tweet stream. If they've sent the same exact suggestion - and only that suggestion - to numerous tweeps, I block them. This sort of falls under spam and sort of falls under auto responses. Still, I see this behavior being practiced outside of traditional spam and auto responders enough to mention it.
2) If the avatar is sexually suggestive, I unfollow. This speaks to professionalism, to a degree. I was following a great marketing woman out of the USA but her avatars became increasingly suggestive. Obviously it was working for her on some level but, in my mind, it hurt her credibility. My general feeling is if you feel you need sex appeal to influence, you're on the wrong path.
Good post. Thanks for that.
