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….
- Only tweet links.
- Talk about how their inbox has 1,000′s of unread emails that must be answered.
- Constant @’s to my tweets that have nothing to do with what was said.
- Only retweet other people’s tweets. What, have you no thoughts of your own?
- Celebrities or other famous-types who don’t interact with fans.
- Celebrities or other famous-types who have someone else tweet for them.
- Constant self promotion.
- Ridiculous use of Adjix to gain money from links (it’s even worse if an ad is embedded into the tweet).
- Tweet once in a blue moon. I will never see your tweets, so whats the point of following you?
- 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.
- Anyone who is rude in 140-characters or less.
What kinds of tweeple do you drop when weeding needs to be done?
