Are all robo-messages "curated" messages?

Stop Using Automation Tools.

When you follow new people on Twitter, you may have been immediately followed back or “welcomed” to their Twitter account with an automated direct message. Though this idea makes Twitter look easy, sometimes this automation can make you just look like a jerk — especially if people notice you are tweeting when you’re really out skiing or perhaps getting thrown in jail. Make a 2012 resolution to avoid automating your social media. You also should avoid using tools in 2012 that automatically tweet out curated newspapers, such as a Paper.li, that highlight some of the tweets your followers posted. Not only do people tend to not read these, but it also makes you look like a jerk for not taking the time to retweet these interesting articles yourself.
