Are you tired of all the social media hubbub? Do you hate interacting with your Twitter followers? Are you seeking new ways to totally piss off your Twitter followers so you have an excuse to interact less? If you answered yes to these questions, then you need my 5 step guide to totally pissing off all your Twitter followers to the point where they unfollow and block you!
1. Be a Follow for an Unfollow Account
In the past, the recommendation was to follow a bunch of people and after a certain number of days, unfollow everyone. The thinking is that this makes you look special. I mean, if you’ve only followed 25 people and you have 15,000 followers, you have such awesome content that people can’t bare to unfollow you, even if you don’t reciprocate or participate with your follows. People are getting wise to this, and there are numerous programs that allow Twitter users to see who unfollowed them and who isn’t following them. Some Twitter users even utilize programs that follow and unfollow automatically, according to certain triggers. For example, if a new person follows the account, the program automatically follows that account back. It does the reverse for unfollows. The reason for this is that Twitter’s algorithm has gotten stricter, especially for accounts that have more than 5,000 followers. You can only have about a 10% difference between your followers and following lists in order to follow more people. This has caused an increasing number of Twitter accounts to regularly check for unfollowers. Not to mention, you’re not being special. You’re being an asshole.

For those who don't know, I like to maximize my productivity, and part of maximizing my productivity is utilizing social media autoschedulers to make sure all my posts go out in a timely manner. In 2019, I ran across Social Oomph. It was one hell of an experience, and I do not recommend it. Below is an account of that experience.

All those freefreefreee tax commercials piss me off to no end. They are lying. The tax software you need probably isn't freefreefree, but you're still required to file taxes every year. What happens if you can't afford that lying freefreefree tax software? Well, the IRS will come knocking at your door for everything you own.
If you’re a freelancer, you have probably been bombarded by all those free tax software and filing commercials, and you are probably wondering if completing and filing your taxes is really free. The short answer is NO! for the majority of tax software companies. I actually found a couple that may truly be free, but it's not the tax software companies that you hear about all the time, and I'm not sure how reputable they are. Listed prices were as of 2019. I left them as they are so you can see the price hikes. As if they were affordable before....

Under the Dome
I’m going to start off by saying every writer should read Under the Dome by Stephen King. It’s told from a mostly omnipresent point of view, which is great when you have multiple characters that you want the audience to see in detail. I’m very good at this, but most writers aren’t. My skill came from years and years of on-line role-playing where I had to switch characters and points of view within a matter of minutes.
It’s also good because this looks to be a primary example of a book that was planned beforehand. I would almost bet money that he wrote the Synopsis, outline and character lists beforehand. Stephen King even says this in his author notes at the end of the book. He’s had the idea since 1976 (I was -1 in 1976). He was waiting for technology to catch up to him.
This is an Author Driven book. It is not a character driven book. Keep that in mind when you’re reading it. There’s a lot of summary, flashbacks, briefings, and Author “push”…
It is fantastic for what it is. Very few Authors can pull this off with any kind of success. With that being said, read it as something to learn from and remember all those writing books you’ve read. All the suggestions and examples and thoughts in those writing books is going to solidify and clarify in your mind after you finish reading this.

Let me start of by saying that in 2014, I downloaded AutoTweetNG and loved it. Aparently, I had no problems installing it or configuring it to send tweets and facebook posts. That old review (that I don't remember writing) prompted me to try it again. Either lots have changed since 2014 with this piece of software, or my needs have dramatically changed. One of the two, because my overview of this program is not nearly so glowing.
