This is based on experience. I've been on Twitter since the beginning. I was there the day it was announced in 2006. This video only covers half of what's wrong with this damn Government Database website. It didn't even get into all the "Twitter Expert/SEO" BS and Faker Profiles of people who live in their parents' basement. The more Tweets you've posted, the more You've Wasted Your Time. However, conversely, there are people who don't know how to use the service the way it was intended. These are those who have posted only a few Tweets. And they just don't understand how to properly use Twitter. If you are going to accept the fact that Twitter is a Waste of Time Government Database, and Tweet on their platform anyway--then at least learn how to ReTweet, use @ Replies, Correctly Follow people, have a Profile Pic, Bio, Link, and Background Image, etc. And lastly, Tweet stuff worth reading. For Example: if you are a Brand or a News Organization, then Tweet relevant content that gives your users appropriate information. Do NOT over-tweet and flood people's Twitter Streams. And if you're just a regular person, with nothing important to say--then either just listen, or do your best to Tweet useful stuff. Keep in mind that Twitter goes out-of-their-way to disable archives. The guy who made Twitter also made Blogger, which does have archives of past posts. But not Twitter. They want to collect your Tweets and archive them in a Federal Database (true story) Library of Congress (and others: CIA, NSA, DHS, etc.), but not allow users to EASILY view anyone's Tweet History. Therefore, you are always judged by your last 20 Tweets. So, if you have no real friends to privately Text Message, Call, or Meet in Person; and you know the NSA is listening; and you have nothing better to do; then Please Tweet Responsibly.
