<p>So many people mumble on and on about twitter including me.</p>

<p>But you know what?</p>

<p>Twitter sucks for 5 big reasons:</p><span id="more-876"></span>

<h2>Reason <span class="board">1</span>: <strong>It's Polluted By Spammers</strong></h2>

<p class="centre"><img src="http://alanwho.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/twitterspammer.jpg" alt="" title="twitterspammer" width="550" height="275" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-883" /></p>

<p>Ugh ...</p>

<h2>Reason <span class="board">2</span>: <strong>It's goes down frequently ...</strong></h2>

<p class="centre"><img src="http://alanwho.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/twitterwhale.png" alt=""/></p>

<p>Nice graphic, it really is. But we don't need to see it daily and we definitely don't need to see it several times daily either ...</p>

<h2>Reason <span class="board">3</span>: <strong>The Auto-Follow Culture</strong></h2>

<p class="centre"><img src="http://alanwho.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/autofollow.png" alt="" /></p>

<p>So you follow 146,899 people (<em>most of whom are most likely a combination of dormant accounts and glorious scammers)</em>. What are you? A robot? </p>

<h2>Reason <span class="board">4</span> <strong>Boring Tweets Are Common</strong></h2>

<p><img src="http://alanwho.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/shittweet.png" alt="" /></p>

<p>Too much information ...</p>

<h2>Reason <span class="board">5</span>: <strong>It's A Playground For Narcissists</strong></h2>

<p class="centre"><img src="http://alanwho.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/nar.jpg" alt="" /></p>

<p>Before twitter, narcissistic rants consisting of "Me. Me. Me." were restricted. But now the world can find out your latest opinion on how hot you look today. Wonderful.</p>

<h2>Bonus Reason: <strong>IT'S ADDICTIVE</strong></h2>

<p class="centre"><img src="http://alanwho.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/addicted.jpg" alt="" /></p>

<blockquote class="warning">
<p>Heroin. Cocaine. Speed. All these substances and every other addictive thing ever created in this world all pale in comparison to twitter. Twitter is the most addictive thing created ever. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes it is. And you know it. And I know it: Twitter is the most addictive thing ever created.</p>
</blockquote>

<blockquote class="idea">
<p>True these 5 reasons are valid reasons why Twitter sucks, but you know what?</p>

<p><strong>There are countless more reasons why Twitter is red hot!</strong></p>

<p>And in the next post I am gonna reveal 8 reasons why twitter is the dogs bollocks.</p>

<p>So do what you simply must; subscribe to the email newsletter below or hook your RSS feed reader up with <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/alanwho">my red hot RSS feed</a>. You know you want to.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>I am so glad we had this talk.</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have two awesome tools for you to enable you to be on the pulse of what's happening in the world whenever you want ... The first is:</p><span id="more-706"></span>

<h3>Awesome Tool #1: Digg Spy</h3>
<p class="centre"><img src="http://alanwho.com/_images/emails/diggspy.jpg" /></p>

<p><strong>What is Digg Spy?</strong></p>

<p>You heard of Digg yes? The social bookmarking site ... Well DiggSpy allows you to see what is being "dugg" in real time. This is "awesome" because you can see in real time what content on the internet is most popular at any one moment in time.</p>

<p>This is far far far superior to newspapers, or crappy TV because this shows you what is happenning now! And what is hot right now.</p>

<p>To be in the know what is happening online check it out at:</p>

<h3 class="centre"><a href="http://labs.digg.com/bigspy/" rel="external" class="more-link">http://labs.digg.com/bigspy/</a></h3>

<h3>Awesome Tool #2: Twistori</h3>
<p class="centre"><img src="http://alanwho.com/_images/emails/twist.jpg" /></p>

<p><strong>What is Twistori?</strong></p>

<p>This 2nd tool allows you to get a real-time insight into what humans are saying right now.</p>

<p>It works with social networking site, Twitter.</p>

<p>And it's very similar to DiggSpy.</p>

<p>It's kind of sort of unexplainable ... The best way to explain it, is not to explain it. So just check it out at:</p>

<h3 class="centre"><a href="http://twistori.com/" rel="external" class="more-link">http://twistori.com/</a></h3>

<p>Keep it real and keep winning.</p>]]></content:encoded>
