5. Twitter Marketers: There's nothing wrong with using twitter as part of your comprehensive social media/marketing strategy, but for heaven's sake, try to offer something more to your followers than a sales pitch, m'kay?
Tweeting "STREAM SATELLITE TV FOR EVER FOR JUST $600 A MONTH!!! 24 times a day isn't just a lame marketing strategy, it's as irritating as that obnoxious Aussie who yells about "DOLLARS FOR GOLD", on TV.
4. DM'ing: In the twitterverse, DM stands for Direct Message, not direct mail. DM's are a more private way of communicating with your twitter followers, yes, but nobody wants to have your annoying (and yes, lame) sales pitches DM'd to them right out of the gate.
3. DM'ing [part deux]: Also, I don't want you to DM me, ordering me to become your facebook fan! If I want to find you on facebook, I'll look for you.
2. Speaking of ordering me to do things: Sending me tweets asking me to RT your sales-pitch tweet is so aggravating it should be punishable by law, not to mention a HIGHLY ineffective marketing strategy. I'll decide when/if something is worth RT'ing to my followers, geddit?
1. Celeb wannabes: If you're hoping that I won't notice that you've unfollowed me, the minute I follow you back, you're s-o-l, pal.
Guess what? I didn't join twitter to be your fan and you ain't no celebrity. There are at least a thousand genuine nonreciprocating celebs I'd follow befor...Hell, I'd follow Charlie Sheen before I'd follow your sorry, unfollowing twitass, so get over your bad self and cease and desist with this most heinous of Twitcrimes, foo'!
Over'n'out...for now...
