What Are You Doing?

The prime reason to Tweet is to answer the question “What Are You Doing?” so you can let people (your friends and anyone else with a Twitter account) know your status, where you are and even (perhaps) what mood you're in. Thanks to Twitter, that’s why you hear less people say “I’m on the train” nowadays. But, also thanks to Twitter, why people who used to say this instead start texting a Tweet as soon as they get onboard.

Other common Tweets from people who Tweet from their Mobile Phones (Cell Phones) are:

“I’m on the throne/toilet/bog”

Some people go into more details about their motions and stools and other bodily functions which allow the use of the hands whilst being accomplished. For polite examples:

“I’m sitting down urinating while Tweeting” or “I’m in the middle of a #2”

TIP: Always wash you hands after using someone else’s cell phone (mobile phone).

If you follow some trending topics you'll soon see what really is going on with Tweets. Some people (mentioning no names) are Tweeting to cynically drive traffic to their articles! I know, like you, I was outraged! How cynical is that! I’m sure this was not what Twitter was invented for. Nevertheless, some User Developed Content Sites (mentioning no names) even encourage this use of poor, innocent, Twitter. For example, CLICK HERE or CLICK HERE.

TIP: Do not Tweet continually or you will be banned but once an hour with an on trend Tweet and a link to one of your articles can have an excellent effect, particularly if the article has merit and is written extremely well. For instance see my article WOBBLE YOUR FAT AWAY

More Reasons to Tweet include:

To make them feel good/less inadequate/superior (Stephen Fry for instance). These reasons are sad but just as valid as driving traffic to my article WOBBLE YOUR FAT AWAY

Some people Tweet to prove they're just one of the gang - Stephen Fry for instance. Some to prove they know more than everybody - Stephen Fry for instance. Some to prove they are important to the cultural landscape of the UK and the rest of the world - Stephen Fry for instance. Some people use tweet to pretend they've a life (Stephen Fry for instance).

Some people Tweet for one of two reasons:

1 For mischief (Wilma Proops for instance)

2 Because they are drunk - (Wilma Proops for instance) they're my favourite.

The Saddest Reason to Tweet!

Of all the reasons to Tweet, looking for love is the saddest reason. In fact it is so sad it is funny. All such people seem to attract are (judging by their Twit photos) those who sell certain services. These people use Twitter like an online Telephone Box in Soho.

BEWARE Dangerous Twits

Some people are followers only and they are there to stalk Twits. I’m not mentioning this to put you off but, in the words borrowed partly from NYPD Blue:
