This is not what Twitter is for

Twitter asks, “What are you doing?”, not “Please paste any thing under 140 here that you want.”

Josh Chandler is a smart guy that has a good blog and makes interesting videos, but he just lost a Twitter follower.

Josh, try Plurk or Pownce for sharing links and other media.

Also bad: retweeting

I blame Twhirl for this:

  • I hate A few here and there are fine, but when it's all people do, I get sick of seeing a one-sided conversation. One of the main reasons I stopped following Scoble a long time ago.

  • I agree with the author. Thats just spam when you keep tweeting over and over with no good info in it. Twitter is designed to be short messages.. not a giant paragraph broken into little tweets.

    Also. Retweeting is very annoying

    Twitter, Plurk, and Gmail: chacha102

    Yeah! I totally hate it when people use tools unlike I use them. You totally should dictate how we all use the internet. I know I can just not follow people who use Twitter in an annoying way, but being flagrantly intolerant is so much more fun!
