I only like spam in my sammiches
Twitter! I demand you clock in some more downtime and do something about that damn spam!
Anytime you twitter something, a damn bot scans your message for keywords and then you suddenly have a follower of that keyword.
Eggzamples:
I would love for this anxiety attack to go away. There really is no reason for it.
That somehow made it an open invitation for ‘panicattacks’ to start following me.
Yesterday was crazy. I did score myself an awesome Naish shirt and stickers though.
And don’t ask me how that made ‘debtconsolidation’ to follow my twitters.
I don’t get it, whats the point? Following me isn’t going to provide them with any kind of advantage or incentive that will bring in my business. Do these ‘marketers’ (using that term ever so loosely) honestly think I’m going follow them back and then click whatever spam link they may or may not post? But I guess that question applies to why spammers even bother with email. They figure with all the doofuses online someone is bound to click on “n Huge Saving For Pills >>> Buy ViagraPill, Cialix, Phentrimine, Levitr, SQMA, Tramadol drlvdt wdiciz fcuc34m”.
Speaking of doofuses, apparently Facebook has implemented its own integrated chat application. My opinion is still out on that. It looks nice, not too incredibly wonky. But I just don’t see the point. Part of the appeal of Facebook to me was that people could leave messages on my wall and I could get back to them whenever I wanted. I like the passive way of communication we’ve taken recently. I prefer anyway of conversing with text more appealing because I don’t have to spend as much attention to them if they were on the phone actually talking to me. I know I’m not the only one that likes it this way.
