10 Things You Should Avoid Posting on Twitter (aka New Users Guide)

As we’ve discovered, Twitter has become increasingly popular and more and more people are joining every day to get in on the “phenomenon”.

However, as you know, any “Hot, new trend” brings a lot of noobies into the fold who have no idea how to navigate the proverbial waters.

So, as a helpful hint and guide, I thought it might be a good idea to give you a few hints on what to avoid and how to make the most of your Twitter experience with…

    The Follow Friday retweets are the worst. I hate it when someone posts a #FF and the next person retweets the entire tweet and adds “thanks” because then we see it repeatedly. It’s even worse when the person retweeting the Follow Friday doesn’t even know everyone in the tweet. Only thing more annoying than that is when people retweet Follow Fridays about THEMSELVES. There’s someone already encouraging folks to follow you. Why retweet it for the people who are ALREADY following you?

  2. “anybody have torrents 4 [insert unreleased hollywood film]? got better things to do @ 16:20 lolz, lawlz”

  3. You forgot this one:
    “I must be brilliant cause nobody added to my 10 Things You Should Avoid Posting on Twitter ;)”

    :D Love you!

  4. How about (for a teen girl):

    Fuck, I’m pregnant. Sorry, mom.

  5. You missed out what should have been #2:
    “I’m pooping now”

    Closely followed (chronologically anyway, score wise it’s #1) by:
    “It’s a biggie!”

  6. I kind of like #9. I’d be flattered, at least.
