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.
