How not to be a Twitter TOOL

1. Don't just say something is hilarious and give us a link. Your idea of hilarious and mine are quite different. For instance, you might be someone who thinks South Park is distastefully offensive but this just cracks you up.
2. If you're going to put in a link say something about its content. Don't just say "check this out".
3. Don't quote other people. If we want to look up profound quotes we can google them.
4. If your tweet has a lot of @ symbols and people we don't know we will skip over it. In fact, we may not even check if we know any of the people.
5. Don't write nothing about yourself in your bio and expect anyone to follow you.
6. Don’t bitch at us in a DM or a reply. We will simply click "block."
7. Don’t link to pics or videos of upchucking without posting a warning. We may be on Twitter while eating coleslaw with pineapple chunks in it.
8. Don't wrt lk UR a teengr txtg. It takes too long to read.
9. Don’t steal other people’s tweets without the re-tweet sign (RT) and don’t RT a RT of a RT of a RT.
10. Don't actually tweet what you're doing right now. Nobody cares. Similarly, we don't care if your cat looks cool when he licks his hoo-ha.
