When it comes to Twitter- TWITTER WORLD TALK.

what is twitter?
It is a free social networking and microblogging service that enables its users to send and read messages known as tweets. Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 characters displayed on the author's profile page and delivered to the author's subscribers who are known as followers.

Senders can restrict delivery to those in their circle of friends of by default, allow open access. Users can send and receive tweets via the Twitter website, Short Message Service (SMS) or external applicatiins. While the service itself costs nothing to use, accessing it through SMS may incur phone service provider fees.

Okay, but the definition I copied from wikipedia is not actually the thing i wanna say today. Err, duh, its wikipedia- just a click away. The topic is more about spamming, junking, making wrong use of twitter and moreover 'stress-reliever' has positive and negative impacts in twitter.

Personally, I made my own twitter account 9-10 months ago when people are still buzzing about how great and useful Facebook is. So, that time I was only following celebrities like Selena Gomez, Miley Cyrus (and now she deleted her twitter account, another cyber chaos) and Ryan Seacrest, Perez Hilton etc etc. I did not follow people i know because duh, they dont even have twitter. And a few months ago, around August, people starts to know what Twitter is, they were interested, so actually i have to follow them (sometimes it feels odd because u know that person blah blah) and.. most of all.. they SPAMMED.

There are differences between "actively annoying spammers" and "actively useful spammers" huge differences, i can say.

"Actively annoying twitter spammers"
These types of tweeters are more likely to tweet unimportant stuff about themselves and people do actually get annoyed. And they sorta tweet every single minute, dayuum i know. Like.. example:

1) yeaaay today going to the mall with @friendusername but before, am gonna go to @user's house to eat. (NAME OF MOVIE) here I come...
15 mins later..
2) SHITTTTTT ITS TRAFFIC ARRGHh!! am gonna be late :(
15 mins later..
3) yeay, with @user already. hihihih
few mins later
4) LOL we saw a (disgusting stuff)
few mins later..
5) gonna go asap... MY OUTFIT IS SO UGLY
few mins later..
6) hihi, on the way to (name of mall)...ANYONE? :)
7) ahha, with @friendusername and @user right now..
8) otm (name of movie)
9) eating @ sushi ____ ???

and.. it goes on and on and on and on like that. i mean, WHO WANTS TO KNOW THAT? all your every-second-everything unless you are one famous celebrity with countless numbers of obsessive fans (by means, stalkers). Tho celebs tweet a lot at least they dont tweet something trashy... And they(these tweeters) love to retweet quotes. It's sorta inspirational, but not when u tweet them A LOTTTTTTTT. and sometimes these kinds of tweeters tweeted that "just unfollow if you dont like me tweeting a lot. ITS NOT THAT HARD RIGHT!!?" but actually, its not the matter of "unfollowing", its the matter of you 'tau diri', or... yeah something like that.

some of these kind of tweeters also tweet some stuffs which is VERY NOT APPROPRIATE to be tweeted. like...ah you know.. "this is my 10th tweet" well actually i do tweet those when it is a special number, but not smething like.. "this is my 11th, and 12th, and 14th" -_______-

i feel like shouting and tweeting "dont u know twitter is now over capacity and you can't just tweet unimportant gig like that???!!" but... if i tweet these stuff, means, im just another annoying spammer.

"actively useful spammers"

you may found this one annoying, but it's not when this type of tweeter tweets something useful and very informative yet appropriate. like for example, a twitter acc from a newspaper company does tweet A LOT, well duh, they have to report breaking news everytime and its their job to do that... right? yeah.

some of these tweeters tweet something inspirational and motivational, and i found it very important for the benefit of one self's. well i dont know, but it does actually motivate me when i'm down and so..

hilarious spammers are NOT annoying btw, i found them quite attractive and even those type of tweeters made the followers wanting them to spam more and more.. well, i dont know what to say anymore so this is it. so.. ciao!! :)

p.s I never tweet a single tweet just directed to a special person, my offending tweets are for those people (more than 1) that tweets like freaks :p and...btw no offense if you feel like you did these stuff which I discussed above, well,...its not for you only. because i was a spammer once too, in my early age of twitter HAHAA :P

okay thats it. byeee :)
