Facebook/Twitter updates that annoy me..

I'm a big fan of Facebook..not so much Twitter..for the simple fact of being able to reconnect with old friends..classmates.and to be able to stay in the loop of family who live too far to visit on a regular basis.  Like the rest of the Facebook/Twitter community..I sometimes go a little crazy with my thoughts..rants..photos..happy moments..sad times.  It is the tool to "vent" or "share"..if you will.  Once you hit the SHARE button..it is kind of like that moment of exhaling.  With that said..let me rant about some of the most annoying things people do on Facebook and/or Twitter.  To each their own..but this is my blog..therefore its MY RANT.  :-)

Top 5 Most Annoying Things People Do..

1. NO PROFILE PHOTO. If you don't have a photo of you..not your cat..or dog..or fish..or logo..I probably won't follow or join you. FB/Twitter is about developing relationships with people..not logos or cats.
2. YOUR ID IS A COMPANY NAME. Again..its about relationships with people..not companies. If you have a company name..that account should only be used to broadcast company updates or have very company specific discussions. My personal preference is to have relationships with people.
3. ALL BROADCAST..NO CONVERSATION. If you have a stream of updates that does not include any replies..then I probably won't follow you. You're just not interesting. You're using FB/Twitter just to broadcast your messages without interaction.
4. FOLLOW-ME-BACK-NAZIS. These are the people that follow thousands of people hoping that some will follow them back. These are the same people that get mad at you..and sometimes send you harassing messages if you don't follow them back. Look..just because you follow me does not mean I want to follow you. In fact..I only follow back about half the people that follow me. I look at your profile..check your recent messages and profile..and decide if what you are saying is useful to me. Not useful..no follow. Sorry..stop harassing me! You can unfollow me if you like.
5. TMI..aka TOO MUCH INFORMATION.  Look..I like how FB/Twitter is a combination of some business and some personal info..so I can get to know people on both levels. But there are limits. I do not care if the burrito you ate for lunch is too spicy. I do not care if your cat is feeling sad. I do not care if your computer is slow. I do care where you are hanging out..if you are attending a cool event..if there is a major development in your life..wedding..baby..moving..job..and if you find an article online that is particularly interesting. Try to think about if your status messages are interesting..at all.

That's my five for now.  Some people might think that having a blog..and asking people to join my fan page makes me a hypocrite.  Might..might not.  You can decide for yourself and act accordingly.  Regardless..I do appreciate the people who take time to read my thoughts..and respond accordingly.  Its all good.


Peace out my HALEYUNNS!
