Is that all you’ve got?

December 26th, 2009

We try to keep things fresh. Interact with new people, share new stories, mix things up a bit. If you’re active on twitter, you run the risk that at some point you’re going to repeat yourself. It could be a joke that you tell more than once, or a habit of saying the same greeting every morning or night.

Some people just don’t even try.

Yes, we get it. Ha ha. But 7,137 times? It’s time to try something new. Oh, yeah, the link in your bio that loops endlessly until the browser times out? That’s not particularly funny, either.

We’ve got to admit we’re really stymied by this one. It’s not just that @FluffytheCat has wasted bandwidth by tweeting “Meow” 177 times, but that 15,550 are following so they don’t miss a single one.




Is it possible that ol’ Fluffy has been catting around, gaming the system just to get a bunch of followers who aren’t necessarily interested in what she has to say? Hard to imagine, since she’s such a fantastic conversationalist.

Bill the Cat could teach Fang and Fluff a thing or two about interesting commentary. Go ahead guys, try hacking up a hairball and see if it expands your vocabulary. We’ll wait.

Over there.
