10 Ways Twitter Users Drive Me Nuts

Not what I usually blog about but after one year on twitter i thought I would vent some of my frustrations with it. Or rather some of its users. Here are the 10 ways some twitter users have driven me nuts during that time:

  1. They ask a question. You reply. They ignore you.
  2. They retweet the fact you retweeted them. It is a bit weird and needy. 
  3. They unfollow you for tweeting too much or all in one go. What is the point of following people who never tweet anything?
  4. They never thank you for sharing their blog post.
  5. They never talk back. They write something. You comment. They ignore you. 
  6. They are never actually on twitter but churn out loads of tweets using hootsuite or other programme. It's fine sometimes but you do actually need to be there as well.
  7. They always agree. It's OK to have a different opinion. Really it is.
  8. They spout pretentious drivel. If you can say it in one sentence, it unlikely to be that profound.
  9. They retweet others who spout pretentious drivel.
  10. They write something. You reply. They ignore you. (I know I did this before but it really bugs me). 

OK. Rant over. I am sure that I have done all of these myself but as I have got to understand twitter more, the thing I value most is the conversation, the meeting new people with interesting ideas. I also love all the great content I've been directed to. But it should be a two way thing. Not just shouting in the dark. What do you think?
