I would add constant daily shoutouts and #ffs. On Friday, great. Occasionally, great. But every day, all day ~ I just have to unfollow. It's been more than I can count on both hands so far. Also would add those that RT every single tweet that includes them and simply add a TY or =) in front of it while leaving themselves in it RTed. Once in awhile, great. From a celeb and you're super excited, great. Nomination for Mr. Tweet, okay. But every day, all day again equals an unfollow from me. The not responding to @replies and not interacting is a huge one. Makes me wonder why they followed in the first place. Diana, I don't know how you manage to follow back nearly everyone except spammers and maintain a full head of hair! You must see it all over and over again. =) Great list Diana!

Acknowledging RT's... Am I getting that right in my tweets? Not sure. Do the letters "RT" have to be in the returned tweet when we quote someone else? Do we need to include "" marks? Is there really a good way to quote someone and then ad a comment so it's clear which is quote and which is comment? ya… hmmm… gotta study up more, I see.

What that means is Diana is on the ball with this. Like many other things. So pay attention, punks! Those of you who know my tweets, know I throw out love or pun-ishment with a lavish chagrin. Sometimes, it's sweet. Sometimes, it's brimstone and hellfire. And, heck yeah, the latter should burn you twice. Going down and the sweating it out. I do my thing. You do yours. That's what Twitter is about - in my humble opinion. And if I never unfollow (not even the spammers), I do my best to make it worthwhile for the spammers to unfollow. That's keeping it real - the hard way. And I love every minute of it! =P @hannibal666 Follow @hannibal666 to #enlightenment! http://www.twitter.com/hannibal666 I don’t much care about how many followers I got, but you’ve come up with a fair and reasonable list of donts.

The brain is trained to identify letters as much by the 'shaps' as by the position of lines in a letter. Block capitals are roughtly the same shape, so it slows down the brain.

It's about what you use Twitter for. Many people use Twitter as a professional toGol, and drunken banter is not something you would really share with work associates!

As an experienced web user, I'm sure you're well aware that on social networks, nothing is as private as you think, and everything can be seen by someone you may not intend!

The F-Bomb is what people who don’t use the word ‘fuck’ call ‘fuck’.

It can also be used to mean ‘faggot’.
