So what am I looking for when I engage with the Twitterverse?

That's it.

I am not looking to twitter to promote any services to me. I am not looking for advertisements about Viagra or discount computer monitors. I am not in need of "a thousand followers a week with my system" plans. And I am hoping to share valuable information with the folks that do follow me. A smile, a cool link, a bit of information relative to my interests that is of interest to the people that follow ME. And they are following 100% me. I don't have any GHOST TWEETERS and I don't think they are a good idea for Briney Spears or Guy Kawasaki. By using Ghosts the two of them fall in the same family of tweeters, non-REAL Tweeters.

So Guy, here is my plea. Let your Ghosts tweet as someone else. I know you have twitter.com/alltop cause you started using that during SXSW Interactive this year. Let the people that want your Alltop and Link promotions subscribe to THAT Tweep. But leave them off your stream.

I mean, WHY? What's the point? Were people beginning to complain that they weren't getting enough value from your obsessive tweeting compulsion that you felt compelled to double or triple your output? Really? Why did you, why DO YOU do it?

So I am adding the GUY KAWASAKI ONLY search string to my Tweetdeck and I am going to UFM Guy Kawasaki the amalgamation of 4 tweeters. Because I don't care for the additional tweets. And I would assume you are risking your Tweet-Rep (whatever that is) and if you continue to support GHOSTS your stream will become a vacuous ghost town. A criticism folks were hitting you with BEFORE you let others Tweet in your name. And it WAS a good name.

Come back to purity Guy. You know it's right. Denounce GHOSTWRITING on TWITTER. Your voice could do a lot to say, "I was wrong."

Cause the Twitterverse is not going to get any easier to decipher when it's full of false idols and marketing driven Twitter strategies. It's going to be less of a trusted network and more of a "channel." Personally I say "YUK!"

GUY KAWASAKI GET REAL! Please! Your Twitter fans, fans of the REAL GK,  need you back.

Just repeat after me three times, click your heals and we will forgive you.

"I was wrong."

"I was wrong."

"I was wrong."

Update: Here's what they look like:

GR stands for Gina Ruiz NOT GUY K

So it's not Guy posting, why does it have his picture? It's not Guy posting why does it say guykawasaki in the info line at the bottom? Who is Gina Ruiz and why do I care what she TWEETS?

I DON'T!
