I think there are enough Twitter guides on the net but new people arrive everyday on Twitter and haven’t necessarily read them all, these are just a couple of pet peeves (annoying things) …

If you tweet someone back about something then reference what you’re talking about!

Tweets like ‘I agree’or ‘But thats wrong’will generally go unanswered… I have no idea what your referring to!

Remember in ‘The Rock’when Nicolas Cage says ‘ Well kinda alot’s happened since then’That’s true on Twitter, personally I might make 3 or 4 updates in a 10 minute period and then I get an answer as above I have no idea what your referring too and sometimes this lead’s to misunderstanding’s.

If you send someone a personal DM, Bravo! Good on you but make sure your following the person back so they can personally answer your personal DM!

Grant Griffiths recently posted Automating Some of My Twitter Activity I agree there’s nothing wrong with automating certain aspects I still don’t agree with the auto DM’s but that’s your own business but automating blog posts, no problem, just don’t make anything automated that you wouldn’t appreciate someone doing to you!

IMHO e.g Don’t autofeed anything with more than 3 updates per hour.

Do Retweet favorites at different times of the day

Not in a spammy way and maybe limit it to maximum 3 times in a day but if you’ve got a Red hot post and want everyone to know it then catch the different timezones, I am amazed when I retweet something two day’s after and the amount of people that reply ‘Thanks for that’as they missed it the first time!

Every Twitter client has a way to Favorite use it to save Tweets that you would like to retweet later!

Give credit where credit is due.

We all know that people can get followers for breaking news or sharing insightful information, in my opinion it’s just plain rude to so obviously retweet something and not use the @ name from the originator see poll.

If you want to track your own tweet link metrics then use your own link for it so you can track it but you can still give @ credit.

I asked Twitter: Just making a pet peeves (things that annoy you) twitter post any suggestions?

@KursaalTom People who tweet just one word

@esperanca Cars that consume two parking spots; a dripping faucet that just won’t quit; atrocious spellers who ‘correct’spelling…

@scotchegg Well I do find your picture a little annoying!(Look at me been funny!), but maybe i am just been a really grumpy git today. :(

Way to win friends and influence people ;)

Anything annoy you? Apart from more ‘How to use Twitter’post’s Or people like me moaning about How to use Twitter ;)Sorry I’m all about transparency I say what I think even if it’s not the ‘correct’thing to do…
