Twitter C/D

Weirdly enough, I was just about to mention @glitchr_ here as well...

haha that is one of my favorite things about the internet

How does she/he do that?

RTL languages

i love all the glitch twitters but still have no idea how they do it

netbot free atm

How does Twiends work? In real simple talking-to-a-12-year-old-girl terms? For grubby reasons (hi, dickhead boss) I need to have what appears to be a high-powered Twitter account so I signed up to twiends dot com and just paid £20 for a bunch of 'seeds'. Any other less-dodgy (fuck it, or more dodgy) techniques for increasing followers?

(This is grim I know, goes against spirit of Twitter but I no option other than sleeping for 3 hours less a night)

if you need followers you can buy them on ebay

Have you, or anyone else on here, done this? Any tips for best one? Best being relative, obviously. Feels like I'm delving about in the sewers of the internet with this crap.

no but my understanding is that you basically just buy tens of thousands of twitter bots

That many might look suss, think I'm just gonna go for 1k for £10.

I would use the search box in the top right corner, find people and businesses related to the field your company is in, and follow them. Think of anyone who has a stake in your company--customers, vendors, whatever--and google their names and Twitter to find their Twitter accounts if they have one, and follow that.

Twitter is like the phone. Unfortunately, buying followers (unless a place is actually finding the best leads around you in some hand-crafted away) is like buying a bunch of dummy phone numbers.

Can't go into too much detail but this is basically something to show an arsehole boss to get them off my case. Well aware of the uselessness in real terms, and would never use this tactic on my genuine accounts.

Tweet "#porn #bieber #iphone #ladygaga" and the bots will come your way.

yes! just say 'ipad' and 'iphone' heaps

what's the trick to cutting down the signal to noise? relentlessly unfollowing boring ppl?

scroll faster

disable some people's retweets

retweet the tweets u find annoying

i find them all annoying

retweet all of them

the key for me is that i follow tons of basketball obsessives and then watch a lot of basketball with twitter on. i think that sort of live commentary is really where twitter seems most useful and entertaining. and it dramatically cuts down on the noise and the feeling that its 100 people having 100 different conversations.

Don't follow boring people to begin with. Make people earn their place in your life. Be choosy; there are plenty of amusing people out there tweeting.

Use a Twitter client that lets you mute hashtags.

you know what, Twitter is awesome for avoiding chores

it is kind of a disaster for doing anything though

not to mention the utter ruination of any possible joek

twitter #music

uh, k

what do people think? it's WeAreHunted right?

it actually is wearehunted

http://readwrite.com/2013/04/18/twitter-music-great-for-artists-less-so-for-fans-hands-on-review

can someone explain what this is without all the fuzzy buzzword shite? terms like 'social' and 'platform' and 'crowd-***' make my brain shut down

it's a thing that thinks you like the music made by all the musicians you follow and feeds it all at you, but only if the musicians have linked to their music in the proper format. it also suggests music based on what your friends like (because of course you all like exactly the same thing) and also just shit it wants everyone to be looking at. brands revenue brands.

great thanks, wonder if any truly useful tool will come along that does the whole 'recommend music' thing properly. really hope so but can't see something so nuanced reduced to a computer algorithm

found out today that judy blume is on twitter and her bio is "are you there, twitter? it's me, judy"

i wish it was 'I must, I must increase my tweets'

and that her twitter handle was @lolforever

lol. judy blume is always showing up on the "who to follow" corner of twitter. i think twitter wishes judy blume meant more to me than she actually does.

without her & stephen king I hate to think how much older I would have been when I learned about sex
