Part of my ongoing series of things you shouldn’t do on Twitter [Part 1] [Part 2]

1. Mentioning your sexuality in your bio

I don’t care if you’re gay, straight, bisexual, pansexual or extratesexual. Twitter isn’t a dating service. No one cares.

2. Linking to your Favstar on your page

I use Favstar, I love it, but I don’t see what the point in linking it is. It seems like you’re saying “OMG GUYS, LOOK HOW SUPER FUNNY I AM! QUICK, FAVORITE SOME OF MY BEST TWEETS BECAUSE TWITTER IS ALL I HAVE IN MY LIFE OH GOD I’M SO LONELY!” 

3. Tweeting that you have a new display picture

I have eyes. I can tell when something has changed, so please stop telling me.

4. Asking people to abuse someone/Retweeting Twitter fights

We’ve all seen it. People tweeting “This guy was super mean to me, please abuse him” or putting a “.” before their username so all their followers see it. I don’t care about your stupid Internet fight, go away.

End.
