Twitters un-followables, my Big no no’s
Getting past Twitters un-followables is easier than you think, especially if you are working from a basic plan of action. There’s no doubting the fact that Twitter is packed full of interesting and fabulous stories, comments and points, but it’s also full of idiots, and therein lays my problem!
Un-following the Twitt-iots (twitter idiots) is easy enough, but how do you avoid them all together? That’s easy too, just apply some hash but basic rules to following and you are quids in. OK, it’s not fool proof, but every little helps.
First let me start by adding that there are two different twitter accounts that you can and or will follow. 1st is the business or player twitter such as MyBingoBonus, or a Poker site or BBC news etc, etc. 2nd is the private account such as stars or friends or family. These are the ones that we are going to de-idiotise our twitter accounts of.
When you sign up to twitter initially what you don’t realise is the amount of complete and utter rubbish that some people tweet about. At first it’s all interesting following Mary or Alice or Bob to see when they go to the shops, or spot a blue cat or eat tofu, but that gets old real fast and you start to narrow your followings down to more sensible comments tweets, but how can you avoid these all together, how to detect the twitters un-followables before you follow?
My private twitter account should be about fun interesting things by fun and interesting people, which means that there is just no room for Twitters un-followables, so here’s what I do to set my basic how-to-follow on twitter.
1. Famous follows
This is my biggest no no, following some celeb that actually has nothing to say. By celeb we’re not talking about Madonna or Kevin Beacon or Paul McCartney, but the B or C list wanbabes such as the Big Brother guys or Katie Price or the Kardashians. The golden rule here is simple, if they are the most annoying on TV then they’ll be just as bad if not worse on twitter. Avoid at all costs.
2. Zero interaction
Simple test here, scroll down to see what tweets have gone out and what has come in. If there are loads coming in and nothing going out, then don’t bother.
3. Too many follows
If you are following 50,000 others, what’s the chance that you’re actually going to read what I put?
4. Dodgy profile
OK, I know that we all lie a little in our profiles, and choose the best photo’s, but a seriously stupid profile usually means that the person behind it is too. I don’t look at every profile, but if I am unsure about their tweets then a quick check up is needed.
5. Religious nuts
Nothing gets me wound up more than a debate on religion. Seriously if that is your thing then good for you, but twitter isn’t the place for a religious discussion. Unless of course you are the Pope or an Arch Bishop. Then OK, we know what the content is going to be about. The rest of us should leave that to them.
6. 10 tweets a year
If you are one of the select few that sends out 6-10 tweets a year, then why do you have a twitter account? Twitter is about social interaction and by definition you need to interact, i.e. tweet.
There’s a general rule when it comes to following people and that is simple, if it winds you up then these are Twitters un-followables that you really should avoid.
If the above work for you and your twitter boat is floated with all that I don’t like, then hats off to you and keep on doing what you do. Twitter is a great medium and one that should be every individual’s choice. You got a Twitters Un-followables list?? Follow us on Twitter
