Why your auto-retweets are annoying
by Adam Kuban
I follow a number of people on Twitter who also use Tumblr or the newish TypePad Microblog service. Some of these people have linked their Twitter accounts to their Tumblrs or Microblogs.
Some of these people are annoying.
I’m not going to name names, but you know who you are.
Basically, if all you’re using your Tumblr or Microblog for is to “reblog” something you saw elsewhere, you should not be auto-retweeting this crap.
I don’t want to click on a shortened link in your tweet only to be taken to your microtumble that in turn links to the primary source.
You should have just tweeted the link to the original material in the first place, asshat.
Actually, I’ll use @romensko as an example (chart after the jump), since he’s not a friend of mine whose feelings I might hurt—and because he does this ALL THE TIME.
