Perhaps that title is a little bit of an overstatement, but at least in the make money online niche it’s true.

I received a direct message today asking me to joining some sort of stay-at-home-wealth-formula programme. I politely declined, and informed the user that it really isn’t the best use of his time to be spamming his link on Twitter.

Twitter doesn’t have that big a userbase, and the people that are in it are like me and you. They are internet marketers, SEOs, web designers and graphic designers. I would say that most Twitter users are web-savvy.

It seems a waste of time to be marketing online riches to these types of people, when there’s a whole load of people in other areas online that are ripe for the picking.

And speaking of Twitter, I’ve been struggling to get my head around it. I see all these high profile bloggers saying how amazing it is, and how they posted one message for help and got a gazillion replies. But I never get anything like that.

I really need to build up my followers, but that takes so much effort that could be put to better use elsewhere.

I’m still undecided with this whole twitter business. Loads of people love it, I kinda like it but then it’s supposed to be a social networking tool. When the hell do I ever actual network on it?

Never, that’s when. And it’s not for want of trying. It seems that people just don’t want to network with me. Perhaps it’s the smell, but I didn’t think the interwebs was so advanced as to send it over the fibre optic cables.

This post is titled twitter ‘tards because of the amount of people I see doing twitter wrong. I’ll say it again: it’s a networking tool. So why then do I see people and all their tweets are…

Why would a prospective follower even bother, might as well just sign up to your RSS feed if you’ve got good enough content for it.

Another thing I see it this…

Retardation

It looks wrong somehow, why? Oh yea, you’re just thousands of people so that you can get a few followers yourself.

There’s nothing wrong with this! It’s just pure retardation to not at least cover your tracks because some people might think it’s “spam”. Follow the thousands of people you want, but then unfollow the ones that don’t follow you back.

And thus ends my twitter moaning. Good day.
