If not, there should be. Let’s start one.

1) if you can’t say it any 140, DON’T FUCKING SAY IT. No more four tweet stories. It’s annoying.

2) @replies are good three times only. after that, head to the DMs

3) the exception to #2 is when 4 or more people are involved. it could lead to some seriously cool thinking.

4) we don’t ALWAYS need to know WHAT you’re doing. I think it’s time we look past the literal translation.

5) text shortcuts are okay, but think about it. Do we really need OMG or LOL? Let us decide.

6) businesses, stop tweeting links only. i get that you’re trying to advertise, but that’s not what twitter is about. inviting me to your forum still counts as a link.

7) as an addition to #6, please stop feed comments into twitter. we don’t need to know when someone commented on the blog post you just tweet the url to six times in the last 10 minutes.
get a real avatar, be it your personal logo or a picture. enough with the manga, enough with the pointless pictures or corporate symbols. Be you.

9) use your REAL NAME. stop hiding behind an anonymous sounding screen name.

Any thing else?
