need to know a flying and easy way to get on my shit lean ? Post your tweets to Facebook . All of them . Do n’t even permeate them out , just rent your mental diarrhea pollute my newsfeed . Because certain . I wanted to get laid every single bland contingent of your day-after-day life history . doubly .
Here ’s the matter : Facebook and Twitter are two very dissimilar wildcat . Facebook is populated by everyone you know . That girl who used to live in the dorm next door , a guy cable you hung out in Bolivia a few years ago , your weird cousin Judy . But the list of mass you follow on Twitter is carefully curated . Essentially , it ’s a way to exchange selective information and have an literal conversation about subject that matter . For me it comprises journalists , musicians , intelligent friends , news sources — people I find interesting and/or reliable .
I have 1,500 or so friends on Facebook . ( I believably should do a little bounce cleaning there ) . But I follow just 400 people on Twitter . And I have a net ton of admirer who nip that frankly , I just ca n’t bear to conform to . Because Twitter is , for many , a current of consciousness , a diary composed 140 characters at a fourth dimension . And believe me , I do n’t want to sneak into your chamber and unlock your diary while you are n’t home .
When you dump all of Twitter ’s mental refuse onto your Facebook pageboy , you ’ve forced me to break and figure into your psyche . That ’s nerveless and all , but it ’s literally leave in me get rid of people from my ticker and de - friending others . Because I just ca n’t take it .
Another problem is the redundancy . If you tweet niggling tidbits that are deserving reading , I already study it . On Twitter . So do n’t make me expect at that shit doubly , and do n’t make me have to unfriend you .
The Twitter feed of ally I ’ve chosen not to follow , or at some compass point have removed , are just falls of drivel . Oh you exit to the gym and had a good physical exercise ? I do not care . You ’re meeting the gals for dinner party ? The entire cyberspace does not want to live . old-hat today ? Please stop talking . And even if you ’re funny , even if your Twitter provender is chock - full of utilitarian information , rife with insight , and just a pleasure to read , you ’re not supposed to wish a tweet . That ’s not how it works . You ’re either going to reply , or you ’re work to retweet . And you ’re going to do it on Twitter .
Hey , and while we ’re at it , I ’m going to need you to keep the hashtags on Twitter where they go . Because really , on Twitter they ’re tool to explore for a certain topic . Or sometimes they ’re a room to add a punch line or a gripe to a assertion . But guess what ? They ’re meaningless on Facebook ! So is your stupid @TWITTERPERSON .
And do n’t even think about pushing your Foursquare check - inch to Facebook . Then at least I ’ll know where to observe you .
