Kinds of Tweeple I Drop Like ‘MOFO’s’ April 23rd, 2009

After being on twitter for over a year now, I have finally started to follow mass amounts of people in search for some good inspiration, friendship, and conversation.  However, with all these new friends, I have to weed out the one’s who aren’t really contributing to the conversation-at-large.  The ‘tweeps’ I usually weed out are users that….

  1. Only tweet links.
  2. Talk about how their inbox has 1,000′s of unread emails that must be answered.
  3. Constant @’s to my tweets that have nothing to do with what was said.
  4. Only retweet other people’s tweets.  What, have you no thoughts of your own?
  5. Celebrities or other famous-types who don’t interact with fans.
  6. Celebrities or other famous-types who have someone else tweet for them.
  7. Constant self promotion.
  8. Ridiculous use of Adjix to gain money from links (it’s even worse if an ad is embedded into the tweet).
  9. Tweet once in a blue moon. I will never see your tweets, so whats the point of following you?
  10. Tweeting about completely useless information, like “I’m hungry”.  At least tell me what you are eating or going to eat; or even you inexplicable love for a particular cuisine.
  11. Anyone who is rude in 140-characters or less.

What kinds of tweeple do you drop when weeding needs to be done?
