An Open Letter to Twitter’s Porn Spammers

Category: RantBill Mason @ 12:12 am

Dear Wasters of My Time:

I know it’s hard to believe, but I really do not care about your real or fake sex videos with Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, or anyone else on your roster. I am not titillated by the prospects of such videos because I am not interested in women who are famous for being beautiful, or famous for being famous. (Sorry Britney Spears music fans.)

The interesting women of the world to me are so because of who they are, be it actor or musician or journalist or activist or athlete or whatever. So even if you had video of them, I still wouldn’t care. So please stop wasting my time.

Though I would like you know how you get onto my followers list over and over without ever triggering the email notification that I have a new follower.

Love, Me

Dear Twitter

No, the former behavior of @replies was not confusing. That you just arbitrarily changed it is.

Most of my best “Twitter friends” I found by checking them out after someone I was already following replied to them. Now that you’ve removed that ability, we’re all roped up inside our little circles of existing followers.

Please give us the option back. Removing an “option” is what’s confusing here — it’s an OPTION! Now you’re just disenfranchised all of us who wanted it. Nicely done.
