More Rules of Twitter
The power of favoriting
Whenever you see something you like, you should always be, well, dropping a like! Maybe you don’t want to reply or comment, or just don’t feel like you have anything to add. That’s fine, because a favorite tells the creator all they need to know.
The power of retweeting
Now this is for the important stuff. Say you really like something and want to share that something with others. Smack that retweet button, son (or daughter)! But be careful, you shouldn’t be retweeting more than you actually tweet, because no one wants to be an unoriginal piece of shit, right? Also, I almost forgot to mention that retweeting is really important for the creator. Get their shit out there so they can reach more people and obtain more currency.
You might want to turn off auto-tweets
It can be helpful for YouTube channels and other shit to auto-tweet your published work the second it’s out there. This is okay, but be weary for two reasons: 1. Hand crafted tweets often look better and have a more personal touch that can be seen and appreciated by those reading it. 2. If all your tweets are just auto-promoting your shit, you’re making Twitter nothing more than a glorified notification system, and Twitter can be so much more.
Repeat – Caption pictures and give credit where it’s due
I know I said this last time, but I felt it was necessary to repeat. CAPTION YOUR SHIT! Seriously, add a description at the very least. I don’t know what I’m looking at and neither will anybody else. Also, give credit to creators of said picture. Because they made it, and if you tweet it, people will think it’s yours, and that kinda makes you a thief. Thieves are bad. Unless your Nathan Drake or something.
Think before you tweet
This is just a general rule of life. Think about what you’re doing before you do it. Why? For a number of reasons, really. Reason #1: So you don’t make an ass of yourself. I mean, unless you want to.
Read it over
‘cause grammer and spelling fukk-ups; suck.
Use hashtags
I mean, if you want to. Hashtags are nice. They’re trendy and shit, and chances are that if you use them, you’re going to get noticed by more people.
Use relevant hashtags
I know they’re meant to extend your reach, but reach in the right directions. If you’re tweeting about how hyped you are for Fallout 4 (keep in mind this was originally posted before the release of Fallout 4), you probably don’t want to be using the hashtag #PeeOnADog. Unless that’s something you can actually do in Fallout 4. GOD, I CAN’T WAIT FOR FALLOUT 4. Erhm, but feel free to use the hashtag #fuckvine, because that’s always relevant and needs to be repeated until it dies.
Switch up your look once in a while
You’re avatar is getting stale! It can’t last forever! What a sad, sad world we live in. But sometimes we have to move on. So update your pic and banner once in a while. Not too often, though, because that can get annoying/confusing for your followers.
Fuck Vine...and Instagram to a lesser extent.
Seriously, fuck Vine. Vine is a fucking terrible social media device that brings absolutely nothing new to the table and makes my Twitter feed run slower whenever it shows its ugly face. Vine is also ruining YouTube, because whenever I watch popular videos I have to see recommendation of Vine compilations, and they always have a picture of some chick’s asshole or cleavage as the thumbnail. Fuck off! I clicked on you once, and it was over a year ago! Leave me alone! Instagram is also superfluous and terrible. Stop tweeting you Instagram photos, Twitter already has the function to upload pictures and videos (and don’t forget to caption!), so it’s just another social media thing that does nothing that hasn’t been done before. And don’t even get me started on Snapchat.
In conclusion...
Twitter is wonderful. Just use it the way I deem it correct. Because I am Twitter god. All bow down before me and heed my every word. Or, you know, do whatever you want. You probably have more followers than I do anyway.
