Twitter is all the rage, online marketers, affiliate niche site owners, media outlets, family, and friends are all tweeting up a storm. It seems like you can’t swing a dead cat without hitting somebody who is talking about or using Twitter. In 2010 it is estimated that 20 million people will sign up and use Twitter regularly, that’s 10 times less than the amount of people who use Facebook but it’s clear that Twitter is gaining fast. And while Twitter seems to be the next “big thing” not everyone is singing it’s praises.
5 Reasons why Twitter sucks:
#5. No advertisements. How am I supposed to get great bargains on Viagra or deals on car insurance when Twitter doesn’t serve me ads? I wants banner ads on top, on the side, as well as endless looping pop-up ads every time I try to leave Twitter.
#4. Registration is too simple. I prefer going through several pages of forms during the registration process and entering a captcha at least 6 times until I can get it right. Furthermore, no email account activation is necessary. I don’t know about you, but I look forward to the scant opportunities I get go snooping through the 1,273 items in my junk mail folder to find an email activation link. Twitter, you’ve let me down again.
#3. No endless Farmville, and Yoville status updates. When my second cousin buys a chicken for her Farmville farm I want to know about it ASAP!!
#2.The name is dumb. Who came up with the name Twitter anyway?
#1. I didn’t invent Twitter. The most pathetic thing about Twitter is that I didn’t think of it first. It should be me who is holding out for the first billion dollar bidder to fatten my wallet and send me laughing all the way to the bank. I mean come on people… I could have thought of Twitter… anyone could have thought of Twitter… but specifically, it should have been me. That makes me 0 for 3, I didn’t think of MySpace, Facebook, or Twitter… heck I didn’t even think of YouTube! So off I go thinking up the next big thing and trust me… it will be much better than Twitter.
