Just say NO to Twitter’s Retweet! (uh, please rt)
January 18, 2010
Been a couple of months now and folks are clicking away on Twitter‘s “retweet” feature…
DAMMIT PEOPLE STOP!
You’re driving me completely insane! Here’s the problem – when you retweet using Twitter button there is no value to me WHATSOEVER. ALL I get is an arbitrary tweet added to my stream with NO explanation whatsoever! So, please people… for the love of (fill in personal deity here) retweet “old-school” with a note about why or a demeaning comment or wisecrack! Come ON! It’s for the children!
So why did Twitter do this to me? Because they’re chickens. They were worried that their feature would allow people to be more easily critical of big brands and the big brands would freak out and drop the PR hammer on poor little Twitter! Ugh, whatever.
Don’t believe me? Check out these bitch sessions:

Careful out there, ‘cuz you are what you tweet!
