Of course time DID TELL the inevitable: twitter=facebook=myspace when it comes to the petty nature of the human population. It has taken no time for the attention seekers, sociopaths, and fame seekers to turn the site into the devils play ground. The slogan should read :Twitter a place for Dummies. Currently, there is no other place that you are given a starter phrase to prompt your personal attack on someone that you more than likely see on a regular basis. Hey, it would be cool if most of the clowns “going in” (for lack of a better term) originated the trending topic but when you find it a perfect opportunity to take a passive aggressive approach to a diss…frankly you look like a douche. It’s really quite ineffective for true “beef” because most of time you are tweeting about someone who is probably not checking for you. And you, on the other hand are clearly tweeting or thinking about them on a regular basis and the proof is in your use of any trending topic to try and knock them. For instance, trending topic let say is #godfavoredme and you will tweet “ #Godfavoredme because that crazy baby mama is mad cuz I got her man”. How do you use “God” and “favor” in the same 160 characters with all of that garbage? And if the chick is impressive enough to tweet about, sounds like you might be the one that is losing. Well anyway, here are some other instances that you look like a Dummy via Twitter. Feel free to chime anything I’ve forgotten:

Tweeting Everything- Letting your fellow tweeters know you are awake, looking at television and what not is so not interesting. I mean, is someone going to say back to you “awe you awake, where did you wake up at?
Retweeting Compliments- Doing this is truly the equivalent of saying Good Job to yourself and patting YOURSELF on the back. I mean it cool and all that people think your awesome, but how much more awesome would you be if you just told yourself that you were proud of you? Build up your own confidence, don’t rely on someone else’s gratification. Especially randoms.
Passive Aggressive Tweets-If you are going to “go in” on someone at least provide some links or additional information to help them do better. Twitter beef has to be a balance of addressing behaviors (low blows) and resolution. We should want everyone to be great! If someone is crazy, how about tweeting some links for them to get some help. Or if you’re going to call someone a hater, tweet some quotes to help them really think about why they are
Twitpic’ing Pictures of Your Stuff- I know you are so stuntastic(I made up this word) and hella ballerific, but who are you trying to prove this to? Everyone else who doesn’t care because it’s not their stuff, so save the pictures of your alleged Gucci, credit card receipts and fake red bottoms for your own viewing purposes.
GPS Location- Okay, it’s cool if you’re a celeb and your fan wanna keep tabs on you. Hell, everyone wants to know where Justin Beiber is hanging out. But if you are just Tamika from the block we don’t need to know that you are at the Holiday Inn in downtown Detroit.

Retweeting Follow Friday’s Featuring YOU-It serves no purpose to retweet Follow Fridays with your screenname, don’t realize you are encouraging people to follow you, who are already following you?
