How To Annoy Your Followers With Your Tweets!

I think one of the quickest way to annoy your followers is by tweeting about controversal topics like politics and religion. There is absolutely nothing wrong with having an opinion but trying to force that opinion on someone or be so blatant about it is sure going to make you lose followers. The only ones who are probably going to stay are the ones who don't pay attention to your tweets anyway.

Interested In Seeing Photos Others Are Sharing On Twitter?

There are two ways to do this. You can perform a link only search on twitter that brings up photo links that lead to each individual photo. The problem with this way is that it can take a lot of time having to click on each link to view a pic. (I will discuss how to do this manual option in the near future). The other option you can choose is this site Twicsy to see actual images in thumbnail view of recently shared pics on twitter. Clicking on the thumbnail will bring up a larger image of the photo. The site also allows you to view images by the dozens at a time on one page and you can send out a prewritten tweet with the link added or re-edit the tweet of the photo you would like to send. I think it is cool. One downfall--or maybe not-- is that it has porn included. Innocent eyes are not protected!

How To Embed A Single Tweet In Your Blog, Site etc

There are several services out there that allows you to embed a tweet into your blog or website. I don't know all of them. Some allows you to embed a single tweet at a time and others allow you to embed rows of tweets. This service Tweetpaste allows you to embed a single tweet into your blog or website. How to do it? Simply find and copy the tweet url: status link (see here if you don't know how to find the status link of a tweet). Visit the tweet paste website and insert the link. Instructions should be available over at the site. You will be given a preview of how the tweet looks. When you have copied the html and pasted it into your blog etc, tweetpaste will then notify the tweet owner on twitter by sending them a tweet and the url of the blog or site where the tweet was embedded. The only thing with this service is that it does not allow you to re-size the frame used to showcase the tweet even though they say it is re-sizable. One of the reasons for this is because it uses an iframe. iframes are not re-sizable.

Sometimes you may receive a tweet from someone whom you have no memory of tweeting with and that is fine. But what if you need to find out if this person is a follower of yours? there are more than one ways to tell. You can either go through your followers list which can be a tiresome task if you've got hundreds of followers or you can visit the persons profile profile twitter profile page by clicking on their photo and clicking the icon shown below with the drop down box.

Want to Tweet About Someone's Twitter Username Without Them Knowing?

If you would like to quietly buzz about someone without them knowing you can either block them for no reason which I must say is totally outrageous! At least your tweet won't show up in their time line but neither will their tweets show up in your time line. And what if you decide to unblock them? Then they'll see your tweets so that is too far fetched an idea. There has to be a better way right? Well there is! You can use this example @/spunkyduckling where you put a slash or line between the at and their user name. Your tweet will not show up in their @replies. The only way for them to find out if you have tweeted about them would be if they do a search on their name using twitter search box.
