7 ways to make me unfollow you on twitter

Wednesday, June 10th, 2009

(this is all a bit tongue in cheek, don’t take too seriously!)

  1. Tweeting a link to anything that begins with “x ways to..”
  2. Posting any bit.ly link without at least a vague explanation of what i’m going to get if I click it.
  3. Posting the same thing more than once (intentionally).
  4. Mentioning how many “followers” you’ve got. Have you actually checked what percentage are spam followers? Have you noticed that twitter acounts with lots of followers attract spam followers exponentially?  “Ooh - i’ve got loads of spam in my email today, I must be popular!”
  5. Tweeting everything you hear/ see at a conference i’m not at/ interested in (in reality this is probably temporary, so i’ll likely just move you to the “noisy” group in tweetdeck for a bit)
  6. You are/ become a popular celebrity with a gazillion followers. Unless I feel like i’m having a conversation with you, or you are incredibly funny like @davegorman you are out.
  7. You are really, really noisy (see note about noisy group in tweetdeck)
