1. People who use social networks but haven’t looked up the word “social” in the dictionary.
2. People who tweet links with no greeting. OK, it doesn’t have to be “good morning” because that apparently pisses people off. How about slow down on being a link whore and getting to know some people first?
3. People who don’t update. Talk about anti-social!
4. People who don’t have an icon of some type. If you’re savvy enough to get on Twitter (no brainer) you can upload your picture. If you aren’t photogenic, use your cat. Otherwise, you’re not real.
5. People who are send me automated DMs that say “What Can I Do For You Today?” with a link to their “be a millionaire” e-book. Here’s what you can do for me: Write me the largest check you can, replace my knee with no pain and let me know when my limo is arriving to take me and the kiddos on a fantasy vacation.
6. People who have thousands of followers yet follow two people…and both of those people are their alter-ego. You’re full of yourself.
7. People who have no sense of humor. If you need one, I’ll sell you my e-book“101 Ways To Say Good Morning On Twitter and STILL have followers!”
8. People who pretend they are flipping fantastic 24 hours a day. I know you’re not. I know you have a bad day here and there. Why not get real!? I also know you aren’t ALL making more money than you’ve EVER dreamed with yourinternet business. If so, take more vacations and tweet less. I tweet because it IS my vacation.
9. People who forget that there is value in being HUMAN. When you are human and not out just looking for the Almighty flipping dollar, it shows. In turn, you’ll make those dollars, if you want to, because people will trust you and relate to you as a human. I’ve got a degree in English, not Economics…but common sense is something I don’t need a degree in. Get real, people.
10. My final pet peeve is people who spend their days trying to figure out new rules for Twitter. Soon I won’t be able to tweet “How are you?” or “Did you make it home OK in all that snow?” Far be it for me to know how to thrive on a social network. I’m just a Mom tweeting bits and pieces of my this crazy thing we call life. No rules. Just real.
For a moment, I thought I’d stop saying “Good Morning” because I didn’t want to be on anyone’s pet peeve list. However, how have I gained more than 4,000 followers? Probably because I’m human and have no agenda.
Now, take that Twitter Rule Book and put it out to pasture where it belongs.
