It may be that your rule will become the established social consensus as to "polite" as I've heard it from two different people in the public eye, questioned them on the subject and heard their rationale (similar to yours). One was Mitch Benn, I can't remember the other, possibly Graham Linnehan (sp?).
Well, I'm just aware that if I say "I like the new series by @Glinner" then I've just cluttered up his twitter feed and made it harder for him to see anything with actual content in it.
On the other hand, this is a problem only for famous people, and it's not like Twitter is a reliable communication method anyway.
