Tweeting Isn't For Everybody

Let's just face it, some people just don't have that much to say. Plus so much is already said...scratch that...being said about that cliche topic you just thought of tweeting...oops! Let's just admit it and embrace it. The proof is in the pudding. In much the same way that there are categories of Facebookers that grate on our nerves. There are also categories of Tweeters who just don't get it:

Regurgitaters

Yes good content is hard to come up with but these tweeps make borrowing tweets a first-resort. Regurgitaters (a.k.a Recyclers) think they are so slick with it...but they're so busy patting themselves on the shoulder from their daily re-tweets and  re-quotes that they don't realize how sick they're making the rest of us. Hello regurgitaters we are your followers sick of waiting for you to tweet content that you thought about or interesting content that you found. Lest you forget, that's why we followed you in the first place!

Trivialists

Okay so we're jumping from extreme to extreme here. Follow me...These are the ones who tweet out their every move, every plan and if they're lonely enough, every thought. Trivialists I hate to break it to you but that's what Facebook is for....let's be more strategic in the way we communicate. Let us make a plan. Let's decide that a 'good' Twitter account is public and a 'good' Facebook account is private...something... anything. Why would you want to spam co-workers and strangers with the not-so-interesting details of your life anyway? To be quite honest, if you were having as much fun at that event, like you tweeted, you wouldn't have time to tweet about it! Next time you feel the urge to spam with the boring tid-bits remember that the unfollow button is only a click away and we all know that the 'number of followers' matter most to you tweeps.

  the Silent Ones

Okay so let's just be clear. There are TWO kinds of silent ones. The first kind are those who have been on Twitter since the days of the first tweets but barely have 10 followers let alone 10 tweets. This is actually a Twitter problem. Why have people occupying dormant user names when there are people out there who could make better use of them? Then there are those who believe that quality is better than quantity in tweet terms. If they have nothing meaningful to tweet they will not tweet. They also do not believe in making 10,000 tweets in one day (which btw is not natural) just to have an online presence. Every once in a while if they find something worthwhile tweeting, they will. They are also likely to have a constant but small number of followers. 

What do you think? Is it better for a brand/individual to tweet a constant mix of relevant and not so relevant content or to just tweet meaningful content when necessary?
