This cartoon portrayed some of the bad usage of twitter, which are only to update status …now we can really communicate by Replies & Direct Messages plus # channels a.k.a. Rooms (which is unofficial but click-able by many twitter clients).
The cartoon is hilarious regardless how politically incorrect about it since I had known many friends in Twitter and had even met up with some (hands up if you are one!) so one day we shall be one of the many who tweets about how many actual friends we get to know via twitter compared to the old social networking websites such as “friendsters”, “Myspace”, “facebook” and “SecondLife” Faint!.
Twitter inspires & motivates me to do something new everyday and tweet about it and every tweets shows me a path to what I am going to do or doing! It’s shaping my life as you know it and probably will give me more motivation to finish my personal projects to save the world!! LOL (No kidding about the saving the world part)
One day, everyone will look upon twitter as not just a platform for updating status but a INTERNATIONAL INTERNET RELAY CHAT compared to the old IRC it’s IIRC!!! IRC separates many chats into boring chat rooms and lonely anonymous usernames that always get flamed for no reasons and can’t block people you don’t like whereas Twitter can unfollow people or even block spam users that tries to sell their male organ enlarger!!
Twitter celebrity that have more REAL HUMAN followers and trust every tweets the twitter celebrity tweets about should be given a job as reviewer of ALL PRODUCTS FOR FREE!! Twitter celebrity review this gadgets in 140 char that states how cool it is, where to get it and a follow up tweets on the usage and continue with his other tweets.
The cartoon above shows some bad example of celebrity twitter user, yes they do get lot’s of followers but they don’t follow back much hence don’t even reply back to most of the followers. It’s a ONE WAY TRAFFIC CELEBRITY (I call it OWTC) which is bad however I don’t encourage everyone to follow EVERYONE back if they follow you since some of the people who FINDS your account primary motive is to market some products or scams to you that you didn’t asked for hence select HUMAN twitter followers to follow back.
How to recognize a NONE HUMAN Twitter User or Marketeers to AVOID following them.
- Check for repeated tweets (bots usually have repeated text or links in their tweets in short period of time)
- Check for “in replies” of their latest tweets to see if they are really replying to a real human account
- Check for PROMOTIONAL Tweets that promtes something that you don’t like in every tweets
- Aggressive followers that follows too much people with too little followers that follow him/her (Unpopular or Spam)
- Have only less than 10 tweets and have thousands of followers.
- Have weird twitter account names that is not “readable” signaled an automated account creation.
- Have the famous twitter bot profiles such as “Your Horny Kitty” to “Britney Sex Tapes” which must BLOCK them to signal to @twitter to suspend them!
There are real human twitter users that unfortunately joined some twitter games or application online that auto spam their own accounts such as “SPYMASTER” must take note, you will LOSE ALL YOUR HUMAN FOLLOWERS EASILY!!! So keep those spymaster games auto tweets in check or people will find them spammy and unfollow you.
That’s all for now, I will write more in future and have fun watching the cartoon! :3
