How to lose every single one of your Twitter followers

January 09th, 2008 | Category: Twitter

Here are the top 6 ways to lose your twitter fan base.

6) Spam. All the time. Post links to dodgy online medical or herbal remedy sites hosted in Eastern Europe or Nigeria. Try not to leave a description for your followers to read. Just post a tinyurl link. If you do feel the need to have some text, make it misleading.

5) For every new person who adds you, follow them back and immediately DM “Do you want to see a picture of my penis? I can mail you the links. Please reply”. Do this five times in fifteen minutes ensuring your DM’s get more frustrated and aggressive each time.

4) After someone tweets about a product/service/music/movie that they enjoyed, berate them for their short-sighted, illogical fanboy attitude. Tell them that you think it sucked. Don’t give a valid reason. For good measure, inform them that their username reminds you of a sexually transmitted disease.

3) Use pr0nographic images for your picture. Real filthy ones. Get goatse and/or 2girls1cup screenshots. Gay porn doesn’t go astray either. Throw nasty snuff images into the mix too.

2) If your followers post in English, tweet in Spanish or Chinese. Extra points if they don’t even make sense. No one will understand you anyway.

1) Every three minutes post one long, uninterrupted sequence of 140 characters
and break Twitter’s web interface. For example, tweet “aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
ggggggggggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!” and you’ll know what I mean.

What are you suggestions for offending your twitter audience?
