TWITTER Spammers

I've had a Twitter acct for awhile but I like to pick my own sources... hence my RADIOMAN WEBSITE is all newzy links.  And except for my many graphics which give me hundreds of hits a day, that's all that site's for.

So I finally tonight played with Twitter.  I know, I'm not the first to buy every new gadget. And I use even fewer of them.  My company owned Blackberry and now aged Palm pilot don't get used.  I don't download BETA versions, don't even buy VERSION 2 of most software.  I'm not fully sure Windows XT is here to stay, to be honest.  (JK)  So now ya know, I predicted in 1976 that CB radios and that breaker breaker crap wouldn't last and it didn't.

When Claire McCaskill started Twitting her votes, and all the movie stars jumped on it, well I held back...it's a fad.  I'm already suffering from Information Overload.

But bored, I finally got on today and discovered that too many people are twitting for SELF PROMOTION... and it's reminding me too much of that LINKEDIN program that also is way too ego driven.  I was on it for awhile and then I deleted it.  What I'm doing isn't really anybody's business and I'm not forever lookin for a job, thank god.

To those who should FOLLOW ME  (RADIOMANKC the twit), know that I won't send you many TWITS and the only RETWITS will be the ones that really impress me, one's I haven't seen already someplace else.     I don't make my living with my public name and I'm not here to be FIRST or crash any White House dinners to get on Facebook (which I also don't  use.)  Fact is, I delete those trendy people who do.  I'll stay way too busy to twit but once a day or two.

I think I'll just use TWITTER when I have something so sensational or funny, few others have it.  If you don't follow this blog, once every few days, well your fault.

Anyway, Thanks Kris Ketz, you had some good links I'll sample for a few days but you are a spammer, bud! 

My view, is that if you twit more than once a day, you're spamming if  you're not a working journalist and that's your job.  Moreover, the rest of us have lives outside of breaking news for which you must be paid to stay on top of!  How can ya get any work done if you're twitting or being twitted every ten minutes by some Yahoo.

By the way, that Yahoo Toolbar they keep trying to install on my PC sucks too!

Don't forget to catch HBO's 25th Anniversary of Rock and Roll this month.  A three hour fabulous music show for us boomers!
