Daily Dose of Common Sense

Twitter: you either love it or you hate it. The service appeals to many because it’s a way to carry on short conversations with large groups of people. But, like any conversation, users should be careful not to offend, bore, or just plain suck. The Oatmeal has a comic that is pretty funny and to the point: Ten Things You Need to Stop Tweeting About.

These include: what you’re eating, the conference or event you’re attending, your workout, and your emotional breakthroughs. The main reason is that no one cares about these things. (Well, very few people anyway.) Most of the ten are fairly obvious, especially like tweeting about Twitter. (Does anyone really do this?) But, we still appreciate the efforts made to liven up some of the social media banality.
