I found this fascinating quote today:
While there are some celebrity Twittizens who are legitimately in need of Social Networking Rehab, the staff at INVITATIONS has been inundated with a rash of applications from some more dubious tweeters, claiming to be in need of help dealing with the pressures of maintaining their tens of thousands of followers, while at the same time engaging in, shall we say, less than sincere social networking practices. This behavior is not unlike someone “admitting” to having used marijuana, and then saying they never inhaled. Who would ever make such ridiculous claims???Jeff Sass, Social Networking Rehab: 28 Digital Days, May 2009
Jeff Sass made me laugh with this article and cringe as well. Here he tackles in a funny way those folks claiming to be twitterati and addicts, but just maybe they’re something else.
Read the article to see all of his 10 point check list for fake addicts, but here’s my favorite.
10. The words “SEO”, “MONEY”, “CASH”, “PROFITS” or “WEIGHTLOSS” are part of their Twitter name.
Go Jeff Go.
