I’m Sick of Twitter Spammers

Twitter supposed to be a micro-blog. Like you have something interesting to say and you wrap it up in 140 chars. Something really interesting. Once. Not a lot of bullshit in 10.000 posts at once. I think if users would be limited to only ONE post in an hour for example, the quality of the service would increase a LOT. Because you would be forced to really get your brain working on the content and not to re-tweet all your sorry-ass friend’s friend tweet. Fuck tweet spammers, man. If I follow someone it’s because I want to hear from them, not from everyone in his “follow” list. Shit. I had to write this down. I follow some people because I like their work and thoughts, but I can barely cope with all the re-tweets they post. I don’t give a flying fuck what your friend said. If I would care, I would follow them too. Cut the crap, for God’s sake.

Update: It might be that I’m not the only one annoyed with senseless re-tweeting – so Twitter introduced a new way of re-tweeting. With you push the re-tweet button, and it’s all done on your part – no more RT no more character-fitting in the original post. The other good thing is, and this is what I wanted to mention the most – is that NOW you have the option to go to the spammers (mindless retweeter’s) page and choose not to receive his re-tweets. Yes, DuChebags, your retweets down the drain. Thanks, Twitter.
