Phil, is that an annoyance of Twitter or a solution for that annoyance?

I’m really tired of all of these SEO and “social marketing” people following me, and getting followed whenever I mention a specific keyword.

I used to reason like Rob, then I realized E=mc2 is only 5 characters.

I just find Twitter annoying full stop. Anything you can say in under 160 chars isn’t worth saying. A bit like this comment, really.

Bravo! All those things piss me off, too. That, and changing display names. It’s not helpful, cute, funny, creative or interesting. It’s fucking annoying.

And thanks for following me.

I want to string up anyone who thanks or even mentions their fucking followers. STFU about it.

I used to follow everyone who followed me, but now I don’t. I no longer care about ratios, either. Sometimes what people say doesn’t interest me. Not my problem. And yes, it’s personal. Be more interesting.

I’ve never understood the changing avatar thing. I get why you’d update it every so often, but once a week? seriously?

I am totally guilty of #4. Lame, I know, but I think more people should read what I have to say. I’m a card-carrying soc med asshole, so it comes with the territory.

I’d love to help you with a series of things people do. How about: tweeting LITERALLY about what they are doing? talking about how someone in their family just died? posting link after link after link?
