Whiner. Show off. No shit.

Really? Do you really think fol­low­ers mat­ter? Now that we have Ash­ton ver­sus CNN, too many new­bies to social media and Twit­ter thinks fol­low­ers are the most impor­tant thing they can get.

Shut up. Stop telling me about your fol­low­ers. Big media, stop telling me how pop­u­lar Twit­ter is. We don’t need every grandma in the world to join. This doesn’t need to be mainstream.

Have real con­ver­sa­tions. Say what’s on your mind. Stop check­ing your fol­lower account. For the love of god, stop telling me what you think of @aplusk. Log off and watch your real­ity TV shows instead.
