I’ve had a number of conversations recently about people retweeting someone’s praise and how that just irks others.
For most of us this isn’t anything new but for those more-fortunate, the tweet-stream typically is something like this:
@TwitterPraiser: “Wow! @JohnDoe is soooooooooooooooo amazing at social media! God Bless You!”
or something to that affect.
Then, @JohnDoe retweets that tweet so that all of his followers will see the public praise and be in awe:
@JohnDoe: “RT @TwitterPraiser Wow! @JohnDoe is soooooooooooooooo amazing at social media! God Bless You! // Thanks man, you too! Social media rockzzzzzzzzz!
Ad nauseum (literally).
