Some tweets make me want to claw my eyes out with a spork. Even though I haven’t posted in a while about the tweets make me wish I had been born without the capacity for written language, I still see awful tweets. Tweets that are boring. Tweets that are unoriginal. Tweets that make sense to no one, not even the original author. Here are some awful tweets I’m seeing recently.
- Good Night - This tweet is a cornucopia of mixed messages. One one hand, it says, “Readers, I’m still here!” On the other hand, it says, “I am now sleeping, leave me alone.” Your followers have common sense. Not only will they realize you’re still alive if you don’t tweet for twelve hours, they will also leave you alone after midnight. Unless they are psychopaths.
- The Photo Without Explanation -This is similar to the link with no explanation, but I can tell it’s a picture from the URL you posted. However, I worry about what I’m in for without an explanation. It’s not hard to write “Cute Puppies!” or “This girl make you cry” Just put something so I know I’m not looking at your butt.
- Anything about your iPad - I’m not jealous. At least not yet. But still, I don’t need to know how awesome it, how it’s cooler than a laptop, or how it saved a kitten from a fire. Until you can justify talking about your iPad in terms of usefulness, please, keep your iPraise to your iSelf.
- Multi-Part Tweets - No matter how fast you write, someone in my stream will always interrupt your story. ALWAYS. I don’t care that you were kind and used a (1/2) and (2/2) to help me follow. It still gets broken up. It takes me much more time to read it than it should. Twitter is all about concision. If you need an example to learn how to tell a story quickly, check out Fireland. If it can’t be told in one tweet, is it right for Twitter?
- Drunk Tweets - Do I need to say more? If I do, you may have a problem.
This is your chance to vent. Let me know what you’re seeing out there that gets under your skin.
