7 Things NOT to Do on Twitter


Maybe I'm just crabby today, but I needed to share some of my Twitter pet peeves. I'm not mad at you if you do any of these, you probably didn't know any better. There are many more Twitter Don'ts, but these 7 top my list.

Please DO NOT:
  1. Tweet in all hashtags. #I #Can't #Easily #Read #What #You #Are #Saying. Besides those hashtags aren't relevant or helpful.
  2. Make your profile all hashtags. See previous.
  3. Leave your profile description blank! I don't follow anyone who doesn't have a description - I usually think they are spam.
  4. Leave your profile picture an egg! See previous.
  5. Write in weird cap/none caps. SeE hOw AnNoYiNg ThIs Is? I hate it.
  6. Follow people and then promptly unfollow them once they follow you back. How rude. Tsk, tsk, tsk (wagging finger.)
  7. Tweet others' content only. Unless your a news aggregator, have some of your own content!
Do a quick Google search for other Twitter Don'ts -- there's a lot of information out there. Also, do you have any Twitter pet peeves you'd like to share? I'd love to hear. Drop me a comment below.
