Or You’ll Be a Twitter Fail Whale…
#9: Your To-Do List
While I find it mildly impressive that you have to drop the kids off at school, grab coffee with Suzy, complete a writing assignment, watch Mad Men and do laundry all in one day… I do not need to see your list of activities every afternoon. Although you are enthralled with the 5 things you will be doing today – I am snoring and would much rather see a link to something worth knowing.
#8: Things That Are “Awesome”
I do appreciate awesomeness just as much as the next guy, but your tweet: “This is awesome [link]” does nothing for me. You could be spam or linking to a video of Heidi Montag. Both of which I want nothing to do with. Give me a little bit more reason to click on your link, I want you to have to work for it.
#7: “Goodnight”
Ok, it’s 11pm and you’re all set in your PJs ready to crawl in bed… and the one thing you just have to do is grab the Blackberry (or laptop) and say “goodnight” to Twitter? Honestly? My good friend Ben Goodsell, and author of Optimistic Pessimism, has created what we call “Weener of the Week.” And you, “goodnight twitter” tweeter make this list.
Follow him @BenGoodsell on Twitter for future weekly weeners!
