twitter fail blog

The Fail Bird Handler has a broken wing. Actually, she just had right rotator cuff and bicep repair, which doesn’t fit the theme of this blog, so we’ll stick with “broken wing.” That is why postings have been sporadic of late. Hopefully, this will also explain any typos that get past the editing process, because we are using Dragon software to dictate, and it doesn’t understand us completely. But then, no one really does.

Our good friend @stinginthetail sent us a helpful alert : 

So, naturally, we had to take a look.

We are always amazed, well actually more like amused, when spammers, scammers, and schemers get so offended when they’re called out. Of course, we take exception to the term “follower-chasing”and call it what it really is: “follower-whoring”, which is a delightful term coined by Honorary Fail Bird Handler @Bytor back in August. 

The most valuable followers on twitter are earned by posting good content and interacting with your tweeps. Buying friends on twitter has the value of a one night stand. By doing so, you show that you don’t care who they are, and certainly don’t want to develop a relationship with them. You just want a connection, if only for a day.

@AlanDB92 may be a perfectly nice, honest, friendly tweep. However, his quacks and waddles make us think otherwise.

We’re heading back into the land of Vicodin and Benadryl, which on this Thanksgiving Day makes us very thankful.
