Please stop tak­ing Twit­ter literally.

We don’t need to know exactly what you’re doing. We don’t care what you had for break­fast. We don’t care where you’re at on your to do list.

We care about what you think, what you emote, and what your opin­ion is. We care about cool links. We care about funny anecdotes.

So, for the love of god, please don’t tell us that you’re walk­ing your dog, or that you sim­ply had food.

Be funny. Be insight­ful. Be amus­ing. Be opinionated.

Be your­self.

Or please stop. You’re annoying.
