Complaining about people complaining about people complaining about…

how people use twitter is totally the new complaining about people complaining about how people use twitter.  Imma go ahead and get this started right here right now.

First there was twitter.

This gave rise to a whole wave of social media “consultants”.  These were people whos favourite thing to do was complain about how people were using twitter wrong. They would often make comments like “Your supposed to interact with your followers” or “Build better personal brand identity using synergy in your social network connections.”  These were people complaining about how people use twitter.

Then the third phase. People were mad other people were telling yet other people how to use twitter. Why should some random 45 year old fat guy from Omaha (Which I’m sure is “really wonderful” place) be able to tell me how to use twitter they said?  And they all started blogging about how people shouldn’t complain about how people use twitter. These people were complaining about people complaining about how people use twitter.

I’d like to be the first to get part 4 underway by saying “Stop telling people how to use the internet”. If they want to complain about how people use twitter they may. You guys are being hypocrites!

But wait…  Now I’m complaining about people complaining about people complaining about twitter use. So you know what me, stop complaining about people complaining about people complaining about twitter, you’re being a jerk. … …

Oh no. Look Joel, I just saw you complain about people complaining about people complaining about people complaining about twitter, stop that!

And while you’re at it stop complaining about people complai…
