twitter fail blog

The only things more prolific than tribbles are spammers and bots on twitter. We have to hurry and write this post, because if we keep trying to find all the accounts belonging to GP Schaefer, we’ll never finish. Every time we do another search just to make sure we have them all, we find another one.

So far, we have: @CougarMtnSw_OE @bMobileTech @CougarMtn24x7 @CougarMtnGuru @OutgrowingQB @BusinessListsUS @Business_Lists @acctg2000 @CougarMtnSW_IN @phonesuport @ReportWriter @PDFBlaster @CougarMTNSW @eMailLists @Peachtreesw @LivewarePub @quickbookssw @SWoutfitters @crystalguru @COUGARMTN @MyController @CMStotheMAX

Flushing out all these dupes was so easy, we almost feel sorry for ol’ GP. Kind of like hunters in (insert whichever US state you think is most hillbilly) who drive through the fields shooting from the open window of their Ford F150, it wasn’t even sporting. Opening all the accounts in the same name was the big tip-off. The clincher was both the retweets from one account to the next, and the following lists. GP likes to follow himself around. You can’t get lonely when me, myself and I = 22.

Of course, GP could have saved himself the trouble, and spent his time creating one twitter account and making a few friends.  Wait – who are we kidding? With all the twitter crap apps around, it takes no time at all to create a bunch of accounts and have them follow each other, or a bunch of random people. The crap apps will also generate your tweets for you, so you never have to actually use twitter in the way it was intended. Since twitter is free, why should anyone care how many resources they waste?

Because it isn’t going to be free forever, buddy. Somebody has to pay the bills.

Twitter already shows little, unobtrusive ads, and it won’t end there. Eventually, they will have to get serious about monetizing. All those jerks who are wasting twitters resources will make that happen sooner, rather than later.

Something we learned from Star Trek: Little problems grow into big problems.

Another thing we learned from Star Trek:  A virus in their food supply killed the tribbles. Just saying.

(that was a joke. an attempt at humor. jeez.)
