Like millions of people around the world, I’m a strong supporter of Twitter. Depending on who you are, it can actually be used for multiple reasons. People use it to push their products, make funny jokes, and even find new friends. For me personally, I just enjoy saying what’s on my mind at random times of the day, or making fun of the elderly at the grocery store. The harsh reality of Twitter though is you’re nothing without a solid group of followers. The more you have, the more super fucking awesome you believe you are. This lead to the birth of several websites promising to promote your tweets, and build followers. One of those sites is Favstar
Overall, it’s actually a nifty little site. I can make tweets from there for people who aren’t following me to read, and it even allows the people on Twitter to compete in how popular their tweets really are by the site tracking Favorites, and retweets for each tweet. While it really is pretty cool….it’s making people go a little crazy.
I’m noticing FavStar is quickly turning into crack for Twitter. People lately have become so obsessed with getting as many stars as possible, that their flooding my fucking Twitter Feed, resorting to begging people to “star” their lame ass tweets. I’ve seen some making about 5,000+ tweets a day. 4,987 of those tweets are them bitching that not enough people are starring them, or they are obviously not funny enough today. While the remaining 13 tweets they made actually weren’t that bad, I never see them because they’ve flooded my feed with so much bitching about no one giving you any love for them.
I know damn well that not all my tweets are going to be awesome, that’s just the way it is. Just because 100 people didn’t star my damn tweet, doesn’t mean that 3-4 of them didn’t find some sort of amusement from it. I’m certainly not going to devalue that by announcing that my last tweet sucked. That’s just bad business.
In closing, if you happen to be one of those whiny tweeters I’m talking about here, please do me a favor…
Quit your fucking bitching!! I’m fairly sure there are things more important in your life than 100 strangers saying that one sentence you said was funny. If not….perhaps you need to join a gang. I hear the Juggalos are recruiting!
