HOW (NOT) TO: Annoy People on Twitter

There’s no denying that
Twitter‘s usefulness is growing ? from
journalists looking for leads to actors putting on productions of
Romeo & Juliet, everyone seems to be getting wise to the microblogging site’s potential.

Still, sometimes the urge to shout one’s barbaric yawp over the roofs of the world can overshadow a little something we call “foresight,” leading to the dreaded and ever-so-annoying overshare.

In its most extreme form, the overshare can lead to, well, police involvement (tweeting about your
desire to blow up an airport is probably not recommended).

Still, cops and whatnot aside, tweeting with glorious abandon can, ultimately, alienate and annoy your followers. That’s the topic of my
most recent CNN column, which I co-author with fellow
Stuff Hipsters Hate blogger,
Andrea Bartz.
