10 Reasons Why Bloggers Are Twitter Spammers Or Atleast Sucks As A Twitterer

by Ricky on September 15, 2009

Hold on your fires and stones for a second before you start shooting me :twisted: . I know many of you really want to kick my a$$ after reading this title. Well, before you hit me let me clarify that this is the opinion of my friend (or may be……??? I like to be on safer twitter followside ;) ).

Twitter is a powerful microblogging and social media tool that will enhance your online social network experience. As a blogger we all know the potential of twitter. Many people see twitter as a potential market and medium to earn some bling-bling.

Here are few reasons why bloggers sucks as a twitterer: Follow me at twitter before you start reading it.lol

1.Twitter is more of a marketing tool for blogger (and make money online tool as well).

2.All bloggers want 1000s of people to follow them but they want to follow only few (recent trend is people has started buying followers. Desparate people)

3.Blogger wants (from deep down inside) that people or so called followers tweet his each and every post often (selfish people :???: ).

4.Blogger looks twitterer as a customer and twitter as a great traffic source (many people won’t agree with me but I know some of us do agree with me).

5.It is a full of blogger and celebrities, normal people doesn’t get enough space to express themselves.

6.What is a tweet? You keep shouting  without knowing weather other likes it or not (phhhhhhhh).

7.On average out of 10 posts blogger sends links in 6-7 post (that is the main reason my friend hates it).

8.Twitter is an ideal space for spammers. Twitter doesn’t have strong spam filteration technique.

9.You read the message of the people you follow but it doesn’t mean that you have to read all their craps and bulls**t.

10.Inbox is full of auto messages (most of them are spam from other blogger sending love and affiliate links. I called it “Shameless blog prmotion”).

11.Most of them talk about make money online but only few are earning. It is flooded with affiliate marketing links.

12.You have no idea that how many people reads your tweets or clicks it.

13.I joined few websites to increase the follower but I turned up spamming my account and followers (I was fool to not check their terms, later I changed my password ).

14.Twitter is about coversation but it turned out to be a micro blogging tool.

15.Twitter is full with fart generators like “Morrrrning Tweeps and Gudnight tweeps”  via @Kurt

There are still many reasons why twitter sucks but I don’t want to list them all.

Personal Note:I am aware of the matter that I irritated many of you with this post. Don’t take the above matter seriously. No matter what my friend say, for me twitter always rocks. BTW you can follow me at twitter from here

Hahaa I actually laughed here at my computer reading some of those – and they are absolutely accurate! :D I made Twitter a lot less annoying for myself by unfollowing two people who seemed to talk nonstop all day and all night. Ah what a lovely sight Twitter is now for me without those two faces constantly there.

I just came across this blog and hopefully would want to leave my first comment. The post was very straight-forward and hilarious. True enough, many bloggers are on Twitter but what I hate the most are Tweeters flooding the conversations with so many affiliate links and annoying DMs that are not even sincere as they are most often automated.

I don’t follow celebrities because they wouldn’t even care if I followed them nor I do even care of their existence. They just simply congest Twitter with so full of their egos.

There are some good points there. But I think when you said:

6.What is a tweet? You keep shouting without knowing WEATHER other likes it or not (phhhhhhhh).

…you actually tried to mean:

6.What is a tweet? You keep shouting without knowing WHETHER other likes it or not (phhhhhhhh).

Sorry for being a typo-philiac (yeah I made that word up) :P
