Nouveau annoyances
- Facebook apps. All of them. They should all be banned.
- Crossposting all your tweets to your blog. I subscribed to your blog
because I want to read your occasional lengthy thoughts. If I want to
read your tweets, there’s this really great site called Twitter where I
can go to read them!
- Retweets. Same issue: I’m following you because I want to know
about
you. If I really wanted to hear all about the #worthless #esoteric #crap
you follow, don’t you think I would be following it myself? Ever hear of
the concept of signal-to-noise ratio?
- Twitter as diversion. Trust me, no one but you wants to read the
play-by-play of that intramural soccer game or five-minute updates on
your experience at the airport luggage carousel. Tweeting just because
you’re bored is a great way to prove to the rest of the world how boring
you really are.
- Lack of due diligence. Never ask a community to answer a question you could answer yourself with 15 seconds’ research. Google and Wikipedia can answer almost any question your little mind can formulate in less time than it takes you to post it to a 5,000-member forum.
