Annoying Advice

Tell us All

Really tell us what you are doing, all of it. The world is dying to know what you had for breakfast, lunch and dinner, where you are, and must know which TV shows you watch. We are all so bored with our own mundane lives, that we are desperate for reality twits about your mundane live.

Link Spam

Link spam. Treat twitter as nothing but a link dumping ground. Use your account to post all the link spam you can produce. don’t bother producing a blog worth reading, just spam a lot, and the visitors will come. Twitterfeed is your link spamming tool of choice. Nothing says I am a link spammer better than the subtle from twitterfeed line under each tweet.

Auto-Tweet

AutoTweet! Automatically send out messages whenever you start listening to another song in iTunes. The world needs to know! AutoTweet where you are. AutoTweet what you play, and autotweet your score. AutoTweet your number of followers. Heck, just autotweet the time.

Be a Magpie

Sign up with magpie to become part of the magpie message spamming network. What good are all those followers if you cannot make money of them? Make your followers suffer magpie spam so you can make a few cents. Friendship is overrated anyway.

Feed the Magpie

Better yet, fuel the message spamming machine by advertising with magpie. Tweeple their followers trusted will twitspam for you and you can claim that you never spammed anyone. isn’t it great to use a spamming service that finds and pays spammers for you?

Dump Everything

Use Twitter to dump all your friendfeed changes. After all, twitter is just a dumping ground, friendfeed is where the real action is. Alternatively, if you are on brightkite, use twitter to dump all your brightkite changes. After all, twitter is just a dumping ground, brightkite is where the real action is.

Auto-DM

Auto-DM. Automatically send a Direct Message to everyone who follows you. You can claim to be doing the social thing by making sure you acknowledge them all, while angering them with yet another stupid bot message.

Tweetbait

Tweetbait all the time. Keep sending messages to high-profile tweeters you have never met, never seen and never heard about before until they respond - then start an argument with them. If they agree with you, start another one.

Tweet-a-lot

Tweet-a-lot. Your tweetage must exceed one scoble at all times. Lots of reality tweets should make it easy to reach that annoyance level. Copy older tweets if necessary, originality is overrated anyway. Never hesitate to retweet your own link spam bot.
