10 Pitfalls of Twitter Addiction

Wednesday, April 1st, 2009

1) Most people don’t bother to respond to your dms.

2) A certain % of your followers end up constantly spamming your private in-box.

3) Feedback to even your wittiest, most insightful, really dang interesting tweets are pretty much non-existent.

4) The most ‘dedicated’ Twitter users are usually boring and overly geeky. The latest gadgets are cool, but enough already. Get a life.

5) It is way too easy to get sucked into the Twitter vortex and waste your day away when you could be doing something WAY more productive.

6) Twitter feeds the Global Attention Gap (GAG) that is already melting our brains into mush.

7) Twitter makes you wonder, “Is anybody actually working for a living anymore?”

8) You begin to suspect that everybody, as in EVERYBODY is really trying to hustle you out of cold hard cash. You start to feel like a lamb being lead to the slaughter after a while.

9) The only really nice people you hook up with on Twitter have a life with real-world friends so they don’t really engage much on Twitter. They’re too busy offline.

10) There is ALWAYS the temptation to shell out the big bucks on the other side of the curtain to see…what if…it really IS possible to harvest a gazillion followers with some shmuck’s latest software.

Catch you later, procrastinators!

That’d be me.
