Before anybody gets smart, I’m referring to the ever popular social networking website Twitter, a place where a giant popularity contest is underway for the most followers.
Here are 10 reasons people aren’t following you on Twitter, or the ten reasons I unfollow people on twitter.
1. You are constantly tweeting about the mundane including the weather, your hatred of life, or that you spilt coffee on yourself.
2. You RT every idiotic person you follow, adding in a LOL or, even worse, LMFAO.
3. You can’t spell or create grammatically correct sentences.
4. You tweet in relays of 20, filling up your follower’s timeline with garbage.
5. You never tweet at all.
6. You consistently tweet every famous person you follow, filling up everybody else’s entire twitter stream.
Beliebers are addicted to doing this, with tweets like, “@JustinBieber OMB, you’re sooooo hot. Can I be your One Less Lonely Girl?” I’ll be the first to admit Justin Bieber is a catch, that’s why most of us guys are ridiculously jealous of him. If Justin Bieber is the only reason you’re on Twitter, that’s fine, but don’t expect non Bieber fanatics to follow you.
7. You ignore followers who send you @replies.
I understand that many @replies don’t need to be answered or the person is saying something not worth answering, but if people are making decent comments or asking good questions REPLY! This doesn’t mean you should have a ten page long conversation, but at least one reply every now and again to show you care would be nice. If you only have 100 followers, don’t act like you don’t see the one lonely @reply. When you have five million, we’ll talk again.
8. You write an essay over fifteen tweets.
That’s the beauty of twitter. It’s short and to the point. If you want to write something that won’t fit in a 140 character tweet get a blog and tweet a link to your ramblings.
9. You consistently ask what a trending topic means.
There are entire websites dedicated to giving you the answer to this. Even better is browsing through the public tweets and working it out for yourself.
10. You’re so desperate for more followers you read this list.
Stop trying to get followers. If you’re good they’ll come. At least, that’s what people keep telling me. My tweets are life changing and I have less followers than most of the girls tweeting about their teachers wonky eye.
Follow me. Please… 0_o

DORMITORY:
45. Act naturally
At lunch time, sit in your parked car with sunglasses on and point a hair dryer at passing cars. See if they slow down.
