Annoying people on Twitter:
Besides, you know… everyone.
- People who tweet their entire life. I really don’t need to know that you “just went to the kitchen to get a glass of water, haha!”
- People who #tag random #words #in their #tweets because they #think it makes them #look #like #they are social media savvy.
- People who use the term “tweeps.”
- Ppl hoo use unnecessary abbrevs in order 2 fit thots that r way longer than 140 chars.
- People who have linked Foursquare and Twitter, but the only places they ever check in to are “Home” and “Work.”
- People who never learned there homophones. Your just annoying. You loose the privilege of tweeting!
DON’T HAVE A F****** TWITTER… WHY WOULD I USE TWITTER??? I ONLY BLOG 5 PERCENT OF WHAT I’M UP TO IN THE FIRST PLACE. I’M ACTUALLY SLOW DELIVERING CONTENT BECAUSE I’M TOO BUSY ACTUALLY BUSY BEING CREATIVE MOST OF THE TIME AND IF I’M NOT AND I’M JUST LAYING ON A BEACH I WOULDN’T TELL THE WORLD. EVERYTHING THAT TWITTER OFFERS I NEED LESS OF. THE PEOPLE AT TWITTER KNOW I DON’T HAVE A F****** TWITTER SO FOR THEM TO ALLOW SOMEONE TO POSE AS ME AND ACCUMULATE OVER A MILLION NAMES IS IRRESPONSIBLE AND DECEITFUL TO THERE FAITHFUL USERS.

She was also delighted to meet Peter Andre, who planted a kiss on her head, and counted DJ Chris Evans and Calum Best among her followers.
Ivy, a former mill worker, first hit the headlines as the oldest person to embrace technology when she joined Facebook at the age of 102, quickly clocking up several thousand followers and giving her celebrity status.
She’s tweeting with the angels now.

Paul F. Tompkins’ Twitter account is finally verified. I’m very proud of myself to think I had a part in it.
So, I’ve been trying to help get Paul F. Tompkins verified on Twitter.
If he doesn’t get verified, I will look like such a fool.
Looking to increase my Twitter followers. So if you’re on Twitter and you’re following me on Tumblr, follow me on Twitter! I’m not a dad, but it would be the perfect gift for fathers day!

Today I celebrated one year of using Twitter. It was good. I talked tweeted about my favorite things over the last year. Twitter is a great networking tool and if you still don’t use it, I’m really sorry. I’m not going to tell you why you should be using it, I’ll let you figure that our yourself, I did.
The genius of Google, Facebook, and others is that they’ve created services that are so useful or entertaining that people will give up some privacy in order to use them. Now the trick is to get people to give up more—in effect, to keep raising the price of the service.
These companies will never stop trying to chip away at our information. Their entire business model is based on the notion of ‘monetizing’ our privacy. To succeed they must slowly change the notion of privacy itself—the “social norm,” as Facebook puts it—so that what we’re giving up doesn’t seem so valuable. Then they must gain our trust. Thus each new erosion of privacy comes delivered, paradoxically, with rhetoric about how Company X really cares about privacy. I’m not sure whether Orwell would be appalled or impressed. And who knew Big Brother would be not a big government agency, but a bunch of kids in Silicon Valley?
