Tweets That Make Ya Go Twoooot

I by no means am no Twitter expert, nor do I care to be! Does this make any comments I have about Twitter mean nothing? According to some top “Twitter-heads” it does mean nothing.  I thought though Twitter was about information sharing and connecting with resources?

Bare with me as my ‘pit and pendulum” mindset towards Twitter sways back and forth. I’ve noticed a few characteistics in many Twit-heads

1. Positioners – These are the Tweets constantly positioning themselves. It is rare they acknowledge any comments.

2. Twammers – Tweet Spam: Come to my webinar for $$$, you’ll be happy I invited you. Etc Etc.

3. ADHD Twitter-holics- Like OMG, I wonder if they also tweet last successful bowel movement too?

4. Tweet-ho’s: The ones who flood the screen with like 12 posts and then RT those  several times a day.

5. The Apple Dumpling Twits:  Complete social misfits.

Just for the record I have not been very active on Twitter for two weeks, heck this is the first blog entry in that same time.  Now I have listed some negative factors of my limited  experiences  on Twitter, thats not to say I have not enjoyed a few of the connections I’ve made, After all I am only boasting under 100 followers /follows.  Do my low numbers underscore any opinions?

The Positioner’s – Make no mistake anyone with a business is positioning themselves, it’s how some go about it that yank my chain. I’ve been following one person since day 1. This person has a following of nearing ten thousand –WOW, Impressive! I was greeted the first day of my follow and responded. That person never answered a question. I’ve commented on posts, RT that persons messages and not once has the person responded to ONE thing I’ve posted in general or to any RT. Know why? In a nutshell, we both do marketing, very differing approaches.  I wonder if any of that persons followers notices equal non responses? MORAL: A huge list of followers is nice. If your publicly only responding to comments hailing your greatness while you ponitifcate your huge list. Enjoy the self gratification and ask yourself why your dining on Ramen noodles again.  In other words, don’t poo where ya wanna eat. A potential competitor can become a great alliance.

I think the other four categories are self explanatory.
