postetpropter-blog asked: Okay so how do you feel now about Amazon's policy of not letting people that follow you on Twitter not be allowed to leave feedback for you "because they know you personally"?

I heard it had happened to some people, but right now it’s anecdotal. (If you follow me on Twitter, try leaving a review of something you actually want to leave a review of, and let me know if it went up okay.)

I just left a review for Stardust. Amazon emailed to say the review has gone live. As a control, I also left a review on a book written by someone I do know personally as well as follow on Twitter; it has gone live as well. I’m really glad because the more I think about this, the more I think I would have gotten deeply creeped out if Amazon had a way of paying attention to my Twitter account without my knowledge.

Which makes sense. I think we can now suspect that the “Amazon won’t let twitter followers leave reviews” think is probably not a true thing.
