The 10 golden rules of Twitter | Times Opinion on Tumblr. The Great Twitter Unfollow Experiment of 2011. This week, I unfollowed everyone on Twitter. That was over 131,000 people. I didn’t do it manually, but rather, with some help (ask @jesse, if you need custom help like that). My reason was that I’d started receiving over 200 direct message spams a day.

People new to the Twitterverse can’t help it if they make a few social gaffes now and then. But there are others who have been milling around the Twitterverse for a while and they clearly should know better. 15 Most Annoying Types of Twitter Users.

It can be argued that those of us who tweet links to content on the web are the most annoying of Twitter users. That is the “category” that I fit in, so it makes sense that I would exclude my personal type from this list. Otherwise, there are probably dozens of other types that are just as annoying. This is, of course, a partial list, but we’ll be expanding the post once more annoying Twitter types come to light. 1.

Unlike many, I have nothing against the games on Twitter like SpyMaster, Mafia, Ninja, whatever. 5. 6. I know. 7. It’s the Internet. Twitter : les 10 commandements. Un peu de détente avant ce long week-end…;) Vous en rêviez, voici les 10 commandements de Twitter, que tout bon utilisateur se doit de respecter. 1.
