The Hello Bar is a simple web toolbar that engages users and communicates a call to action.

(Un)followers. Who cares?

Stop. Seriously. Stop bitching about who unfollowed you, why they unfollowed you and, for the love of all that is sacred, stop thanking your followers. You sound ridiculous.
Following someone on Twitter doesn’t mean you’re friends, just like unfollowing someone doesn’t mean you’re not. Twitter is just a tool, it’s not a community, it’s not a facebook page and it’s not a handy way to keep track of how many friends you have.
Please, PLEASE stop bitching about such stupid things. If you want more followers, be more interesting. Engage more. Say something controversial. Be YOURSELF.
You are not how many followers you have. You are not your Twitter grade. If you think you are, it’s time to rethink your life.

This post is dedicated to @phxwebguy because he’s a pimp but pretends he’s not.

PS…yeah, not really. No PS.

    Amen brother Tyler! What really makes me snicker? When someone tweets “welcome to all my new followers!” then lists 4 or 5 @____ so everyone sees. There is an exception if there is someone who follows you that you would like to ‘introduce’ others too. But not every. single. one.

    Send them a DM saying hi. If I want to see who is following you, I will go look it up myself.

    I had a hard time with this for a long time. But it’s people like you and posts like this that have made me think differently. Thank you for posting this.
