Yes, I had to look the word Narcissism up before starting this blog, but that seems to be the word that best describes the nature of the majority of the people, places and things populating Twitter lately.
Is it the world’s economy that is bring these people who are only into themselves to Twitter? I am sure in the offline marketplace they are having a hard time selling themselves since out there these guys and gals would be literally pummeled.
Is it absolutely necessary to follow on Twitter a trillion people you do not know and then contact a few asking them to @reply to something then never reply back? What is the point of reaching out to people on Twitter and then never reply back or worst Unfollow them so they can’t?
Is placing only links in 150 posts each hour really doing anything other than pissing people off who have to wade through all the wasteland created by people who are only into themselves?…geez.
I could keep going on with the questions I am sure you are also are asking if you have spent more than a nanosecond on Twitter lately. I thought getting on TweetDeck would help and it does to an extent, but these people have learned to play a game on “bait and switch”. One minute they are your good buddy Tweeting to you from the first tee of PebbleBeach and then the next minute have no idea who you are.
I have just about burnt the Twitter BLOCK Screen into my monitor from using it so much now. The onslaught of new peeps setting up shop, posting nothing and then obviously letting BOTs loose to auto follow thousands of people are really the ninth wonder of the world…what a waste of bandwidth.
OK, I could go on and on with this rant. Thanks for letting me release on with what Twitter is evolving into..not that it makes me feel any better about it, but at least I have a release that is more about helping you,,,the people out there wonder wtf is Twitter. Let me know how I can help.
I get 1-2 a day on average. Annoying yes, and yet so far not an unmanageable task.
