10 Tweeple it is o.k. to unfollow

It’s not you, its them. It is o.k. to unfollow these people. I hereby release you from guilt.

  1. The twitter who can’t tell their story in 140 characters.

    Four updates later and you’re still talking about that thing? Get a blog. UNFOLLOW.

  2. Someone who never answers you.

    They may be cool, and clever, but you are a little bug to them. UNFOLLOW.

  3. The guy tweeting from his parents computer, thinking he is cool because he has all these gadgets he didn’t pay for. UNFOLLOW.
  4. The person who shares what their neighbour, or policeman is doing.

    Get them to sign up. I’ll follow them. UNFOLLOW.

  5. “Thanks for the follow” people.

    What am I doing for you? I am eavesdropping – you gain nothing unless you think this is a wierd popularity contest. UNFOLLOW.

  6. Blog-robot people.

    Your twiiter stream is all about you. But you are more than your blogposts. We need human updates. UNFOLLOW.

  7. Peopel who cant’ spel.

    Seriously. UNFOLLOW. (or reply with spelling corrections)

  8. Boring people.

    There is a difference between “Shower didn’t help wake me up. Maybe coffee will.” and “My coffee is laughing at me. http://tinyurl.com/a5gbzs” (@Sheamus)

  9. “Please retweet/stumble/digg/share this post”.

    I can decide that all by myself, thankyou. By all means share things you are proud of, but I already know to promote stuff I like. UNFOLLOW.

  10. Me>You people.

    Anybody who is doing twitter because they think they have a lot to share fall into this group. This includes marketing types. UNFOLLOW.

NB. Any similarities between people discussed here and tweeple I have unfollowed recently is a pure coincidence. Please don’t DM in me in tears. You are psychologically unwell. (Well, you can’t. I unfollowed you, so ner!)
