Between my off days*, exponential increases in spam and the sluggish, still often overloaded nature of the Twitter site, starting to get bored with it now. Not very tolerant in my old age and it’s starting to get on my nerves now. You can practically see it shudder and grind down at certani times, like after 3pm when school and colleges pour out.
*(Health problems, meh!)
Anyway, got better things to do with my time than wait up to 10 minutes at a time for a page to refresh. From now on a day can be considered one where I’m actually trying stuff on and about Twitter, rather than a chronological one.
For today, I was selectively adding a number of interesting candidates from targeted search, but it’s frankly very tedious and extremely time consuming. And when you are aiming for 1,000,000, well… Anyway. Got fed up and added a hundred or so that from the name and profile looked vaguely human (hamsters, vcats, dogs and pet iguana’s aside!).
It was also soul destroying. For every ten pages I looked at you’d find perhaps a handful worth a glance – and the majority of those will be affiliate spammers on one sort or another. Thinking to work on the basis of adding 100 or so a day like this, leave it a few days, then weed all the unplesant ones out. And, of course, any that don’t follow back. WEll, most. A tiny few are actually humorous or useful enough to follow in their own right.
*Humphhh!*
