I’m a Twitter addict, and I’m not ashamed to admit it, but there are a few things that annoy me about the service. The main one is that it’s so full of fake accounts – try tweeting about losing weight and you’ll see what I mean pretty quickly! Here are a few other things that I wish would stop though.

Aside from spam accounts, people who still tweet about their everyday lives annoy me. No one wants to know that you’re picking up the kids, or just about to have a curry.

I use twitter for interesting conversations with people that have similar interests to me – not to hear about mundane problems.

Also, is anyone else getting really tired of celebrities tweeting about charities? I don’t mind if they tweet about the charities they are directly involved with, but when you follow a celebrity and he or she tweets about charities every day – often completely different and unrelated ones – you know that they are just doing it for their “image”. I’m all for celebrities endorsing charities, but tweeting 50 charities (as I saw one celebrity do) in one day is no good to anyone! The fewer charities they tweet about the more good it will do the select few.

Finally, the people who get into follow relationships annoy me. If you want to follow someone, that’s fine, but don’t expect everyone to follow you back. If you tweet about interesting things then I’ll follow you regardless of whether you follow me.

Anyway, rant over! Need to get back on my bike planning otherwise it’s never going to happen…..
