How much should someone Tweet???

After scrolling through my twitter feed today I became annoyed by a few celebrities that I follow. 

Anyone want to guess??? 
The Kardashians…(Kim and Khloe mostly) I will admit I am a devoted fan of “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” and “Kim and Kourtney Take New York”, but when it comes to following the adored Kardashians on Twitter it gets a little out of hand. 

So that leads to my next question.  How many tweets are too many on a daily basis?  I am sure everyone has a different answer, but I found an article that gives a pretty good explanation of how often a person should tweet.  
Tom Fronczak states that people can tweet however much they want, but focus on quality versus quantity.  Throughout the article he gives a few pointers that I will call Twitter Etiquette.

Twitter Etiquette:
1.Do not post more than 2 times per hour
2. Preferable only 1 time every 2 hours
3. Only 4-8 tweets per day

I have only been a Twitter user for about a month now, but I know when too much is too much.  If I had to estimate how many times Khloe and Kim Kardashian tweet a day it would probably be between 30-40 tweets each.  That is definitely breaking all 3 of the etiquette rules. 

Who do you follow on Twitter that over do the Tweets?

  1. There are certain companies that I follow that I feel abuse their Twitter accounts. I personally know that I don't post very frequently on Facebook or Twitter because I want to avoid being one of those people that my friends ignore because they are constantly being bombarded with messages from me. I wouldn't be able to handle 30-40 tweets from the Kardashians, though, that's for sure.
