Nobody wants to “be that guy,” not even on Twitter.
If I catch a friend at Walmart wearing socks with sandals, will I remain his friend?
Maybe. Yes.
But if you tweet longer than 140 characters so I’m forced to “click to read” the rest on a regular basis, I may never read your tweets, again.
As I’m writing this, I’m starting to consider how annoying my tweets are … time to take the “Terrible-Tweet” test:
[Click for Larger]
Looks like I’m okay–I may need to tone it back some days. All joking aside, I think my own tweets are a tad too full of self-promotion.
How did you fare?

I do well on all of those except number 1. And that’s where I disagree. I like punchline #hashtags. Especially mine. 🙂
Eric Dye says
Yeah. I took a hit on that point, too.
Mark Robinson says
I didn’t take a hit on Number one cause as I see it – it’s wrong as this is the source of much interwebs hilarity!
Long live the #SuperfluousHashtag

DebD says
Agree. When punchline hashtags are actually funny, I’m all for them.
Paul Clifford (@PaulAlanClif) says
Ironic hashtags are one of the ways they’re used. #SorryThat’sTheWayItIs
I agree about the longer tweet thing. If you can’t cut it to 140 characters, you should almost NEVER say it on twitter.
