Daily Rant

There are some things that really, really get to me about twitter. I could write one big post about it or break down into small bite-sized bitch sessions. People, don’t EVER tell me I’m not a giver.

Dear Twitter User who LOVES to tweet quotes-

You’re a tool. I don’t come to TWITTER for life-changing advice. I come to twitter to find out when you change your socks. GET WITH THE PROGRAM. I don’t look for a quote from Gandhi, Mother Teresa, Winston Churchill, and think “Damn, that tweet altered my life!”.  Here’s a quote for you-

“He who uses too many quotes on twitter is thought of as a douche, and gets an unfollow”- Me. (You have my permission to use it, like I said I’m a giver.)

You’re welcome.

    What annoys me most about twitter (or more correctly, about one person I follow on twitter who I'd unfollow if I wasn't afraid it would hurt her feelings and no it's not you so don't get your knickers in a twist) is the tendancy to tweet with semi literate garble, text speak and other word shortening devices then intersperse that rubbish with a meaningful quote. It just doesn't scan.

    Actually, it's worse when the quote doesn't fit, so the tweet tructates half of it into a meaningless string of numbers and letters to squish it all in.

    No kidding, and I would much prefer to read that than something some dead guy said. :)
