I’m getting ready to clean out my Twitter followers list, and there are a few criteria that I’m looking for. If you meet these criteria, you will be removed.
- You only tweet links to other people’s work. Have an original thought once in a while.
- You retweet the same four messages over and over. I got it, OK? I saw them the first time, and if I haven’t acted on them yet, and this is all you have to say, we have no future together.
- Your tweets are nothing but marketing drivel. Look, Twitter is a great marketing tool, but don’t be a marketing tool yourself. If this is all you’re about, I’m not interested.
In other words, you’re either a robot (for real) or you are so significantly lacking in personality that you come across as one. Either way, it’s been nice knowing you. The rest of you, see you after the purge.
