I love this post. I just wrote something related about automated replies and auto following. Anytime you start automating something that is supposed to be social, you lose out. We don't act like this outside of the Internet, so why do we feel the need to become so impersonal on it?
I commend you for putting forth the effort to make real connections with individuals.

Glad to see that you are adopting a more personal approach. The time we take up front is an investment in the community - whatever that may end up being in the long run. What makes a publication, a company, or a business special is the people who are working to make it so - and that is quite personal indeed.

Good on Kyle for setting that up and good on you for thinking about things a bit and turning it into a great learning experience. I anticipate that many don't think twice after receiving criticism about automated replies.
Authenticity can never be substituted by automation.
"Authenticity can never be substituted by automation." Great thoughts Adam.
@Chris Excellent post, my friend. Of course, the last thing I would want to do is irritate you.
The world of social media tools will continue to adapt and transform this business of communication if there are people like you who think openly and strategically.
Thanks.

I'm always hapy to learn new things, Kyle. After I grumble about it for a few minutes.
Thanks for the push. :-)

Excellent, I do not use the auto welcome and I am annoyed at one of my followers who NEVER post anything on Twitter except for her radio programs and auto welcomes.
I love the idea of going to their blog and thanking them! Thanks for the information!

This is a great post, and a wonderful example of true "social" media in action. Perhaps it suggests that there's an upper limit to how many relationships can be realistically managed before automation needs to be considered, but ultimately we're talking about people, and in dealing with people, a personal, human touch is what we all want, really. Thanks for sharing.
