Unknown followers
Perhaps this is to be expected when something becomes popular. As with the notorious and somewhat over hyped Facebook, as soon as word gets out about something new, suddenly everyone wants piece of the action.

There's one thing I find really annoying about Twitter; it's those random followers that latch on to you just after you have posted an update. This was actually quite exciting at first until I realised what was going on.

| 12-6-2010 | Why do you want to be a TWIT in the first place, telling everyone that you have just bought a new roll of toilet paper or made a cup of coffee? I hear people telling me they have such busy lives with no time to cook proper food etc and in the next breath tell me how many hours a week they spend 'twitting'. | Artuk |
| 12-6-2010 | To "Tweety Birrddd", where is the sex on Twitter, I must be doing something wrong?
Twitter is fine for getting news of offers and events from companies and real world places, not sure about the "social" aspects. | Timelord |
| 27-2-2010 | Twitterers deserve everything they get - sad, socially inept people who while their lives away (and their employers time too) posting inane twaddle. May you drown in spam. | Nuntu Appi |

| 30-10-2009 | A new version of Twitter is being launched exclusively for the Spammers and general no-dood-dooers around the world - leaving us to Tweet in Spam free heaven....

| 27-10-2009 | Facebook?? Don't make me laugh. It's a playground for those idiots you left back at school. Just a glorified popularity contest. | Archmage |
| 27-10-2009 | I really don’t get Twitter. I do think it is for egomanicas who want to broadcast their opinions constantly or for business people who want to network – which is fine in itself but not for everyone. Apart from that it is pretty trivial and useless.
Have to say that Facebook is far more useful and it is not just for saddos as the poster below suggests. It helps people share their pics easily and communicate what that are doing or thinking en masse (to a chosen audience that they control). You can also invite people to events etc. Generally it works best if you invite genuine family and friends and not a load of hangers on! The games are irritating when you see all the updates in the ‘homepage’ field as they waste time and space of non-gamers. Each to their own though.
I do think the love or hate it attitude or the trendy brigade when it comes to I.T is sad. Use it for what it is designed for, pick and choose intelligently and be discriminating with who you allow access.
Golden rule is – if you wouldn’t invite them into your home then don’t let them into your private cyber world!
As for spammers etc. they will always ruin the experience for the genuine people. Much the same in the real world with irritating people! | Chavtastic |
| 24-10-2009 | Twitter = sex for twits. yweety-pie! I thawt I saw a puddy-cat. Tweet tweet. I thawt I saw a puddy-cat creeping up on me. I deed I deed!! Tweet Tweet | Tweety Birrddd |
| 24-10-2009 | Twitter, Facebook et al are waste of time for sad people who think communicating via their computer is cool or exciting. Learn something useful - for instance, how to get a life. Computers are fine in moderation, but Twitters and Facebookers don't know when to stop (just like lard ass*es addicted to junk food and yobbish beer swillers drinking themselves in to a stupor.
I'm no prude and each to their own, but FFS get off thinking Twitter is some godsend that gives you some kind of kudos. To many of us it only demonstrates that you're a needy little jerk. | Mr Rupert |
| 23-10-2009 | I'm never likely to tweet; can't see any reason to. If you want to keep in touch with friends and family you already have post,telephone calls, text messages and email; why do you need anything else?
If twitter is open to anyone then it's fairly obvious that it will be abused by people trying to make money. It's the equivalent of trying to have a personal conversation with someone by shouting across a crowded room!
