#UFO | The New Trend Word of Twitter?

Richard,

This is a very interesting post. I also follow a lot of people (over 17,000) and I agree, it’s tough sometimes to keep up. It is impossible to make everyone happy, and you are right, every now and then someone is having a bad day and they take it out on you through a tweet.

Like you, I always just sit there quietly looking at it, but I never respond because it is just not my personality to retaliate.

It would be nice though to have this hashtag to use in certain situations. I like this idea a lot. I’m actually surprised nobody has thought of something like this until now.

As usual, you are on the cutting edge of creativity. Thank you for this.

Oh, and at the risk of sounding naive, what is the other meaning of UFO?

I’m just a small fish in the twitter ocean, with a very small amount of followers. However, I have had a comment here and there where I could have use the #UFO tweet reply! I’ll be keeping an eye on twitter activity to see if it picks up

#UFO… nice lol

That random Unfriendly Follower Opinion can just GO fly off!

I wonder sometimes what people are thinking when they complain about tweets. It just makes me want to say, “Hey buddy, you know what? You’re following me. You can read what I wrote, enjoy, unfollow or ignore that last tweet. C’mon, it’s not freaking rocket science”… but probably with added profanity lol

Few weeks back I came up with my own version on this theme #fu – Friday Unfollow

I like the idea. I too could have used this in the past. I hope it takes off!
Thanks for sharing your creativeness.

Having lots of followers might be overwhelming at times but it’s compensated by the variety and abundance of encounters you do. I’ve never before had so many new friends on other social medias before twitter. I enjoy the exchange and passion people have for sharing and discovering. As a music Artist, it’s the best reward I’ve had so far, being connected real time with real people. I love twitter!

Richard #UFO is delightful and although I think lissnup’s #fu is hysterical, I think it is important to always take the high road when faced with anything negative.

I might unfollow a Twitter user whose stream is not relevant or even distracting to me. I might even block and/or report as spam an overzealous Internet marketer or a spammer. But I won’t tweet or post anything about them at all. But then again I am in the JOY business.

Have to admit, I prefer the #fu over #UFO… but then it could be construed as being rude. I guess #UFO is better.

I love it,, and will probably use it as well,, However,, remember ” Everyone has THEIR opinion about EVERYTHING, whether we like it or not..It might seem to us a #UFO but it IS there opinion..

Hmmm…. #UFO still doesn’t sit right with me. Too much of a familiar usage in another field as Unidentified Flying Object. May I suggest: #ENUF as in: Exceptionally Nasty Uncouth Follower

You’ve started a trend. It’s likely to catch on as it’s so concise. I like using hashtags to make a point and do so regularly instead of referring to an event etc. The #UFO is a very cool idea. It’s almost like a ‘written warning’ (hee) which then can be followed up by an #UF. The #UFO would be less personal then #WM (whatever mate) or #UMP (unfollow me please) Naturally there’s #GMAB (give me a break). Whatever spins your wheels.
In whatever you do: it’s your gig so you can decide your own code. Isn’t that awesome? Freedom of Tweet. #loveit
