Implied social norms like these are the worst thing about Twitter, which is a "community" in only the most incidental and half-assed sense. I don't want to "push it forward" or spread the love or whatever else it is this guy wants me to do.<p>The issue here is exactly the same as the issue with posting your own content to social news sites. If what you have to say has value, posting it adds value to the service. There's nothing more to it than that.<p>Not following hundreds of people, not "retweeting" other people's comments, not replying to people, and sending mundane messages (by who's definition?) doesn't make you a narcissist. It makes you someone who is using Twitter primarily to publish and not so much to listen. Sorry, drama queens, there's not much more meaning you can layer on to it than that.
