A Quick Twitter Tip
27 May, 2009, 7:49 am
We all love new twitter followers. I mean when someone follows you it makes you feel all popular and stuff. But lately some of my new followers have been irritating me.
Lately I get these followers who have these profile pictures of some half naked chic. They are following something like 5,000 people and they have 1 update.
Let’s see here, you’ve been around twitter for awhile huh? No thanks. Not gonna follow you back. Have a nice day.
Another one that irritates me is when you have one post and it says, “hey there, take a look at my blog!”
First of all, if you are going to go that far, at least have the decency to post a link to it! It’s in the profile settings. Did you just not take time to figure that out before you threw up a post and started following people?
Second, no thanks, don’t think I will.
So my little rant is to illustrate this simple point. If you want people to follow you back how about contribute something of value that would make people want to follow you back? I will follow you if you have something decent to say, otherwise, my twitter stream is full enough, thanks anyway.
That was a twitter tip for today. Now go contribute something and follow me. I might just follow you as well!
