Twitterquette

Twitter etiquette; The social decorum expected of you when you join twitter. Examples of good twitterquette:
-- People you know in real life who follow you also expect to be followed.
-- Tweet no more than once an hour (not including @replies), but no less than once a day.
-- Avoid more than 3 tweets in a row, unless directly related to each other and especially important or hilarious in nature.
-- Do not abuse your right to post links in a tweet, especially when the link is connected to shameless self-promotion.
-- Always cite real-life friends on #FollowFriday
-- Although one is capable of a 140 character tweet, using less than 100 characters is ideal.
-- Twitter is not a chat room, no @reply conversations. This can be as irritating as spam.

Keep in mind that these guidelines are taken very seriously in the twitter community.
Joe: I woke up and I had 36 texts from twitter! Did you and Sally have another conversation only using the @reply feature on twitter!?
Bob: So what if we did? It's a social networking site.
Joe: TWITTER IS NOT SOCIAL NETWORKING, IT IS MICROBLOGGING! YOUR BAD TWITTERQUETTE SPAMMED MY PHONE AND MY MAIN TWITTER PAGE!!!

Twitterette's Syndrome

Variant of Tourette's Syndrome which manifests itself solely through compulsive, repetitive, ignorant and inflammatory Tweets.
I'm sure we can avoid catastrophic trade wars if we just explain to the rest of the world that {POTUS} has Twitterette's Syndrome.
