Twitter might seem important to you professionals in the "scene," but to Joe Schmoe Twitter is a worthless website. I don't see the point.

I thought the point of twitter was so that utter prats could further their celebrity stalking by listening to each dribble of "news" that's shared. I don't know about anyone else, but I view twitter as the realm of the idiot youth and the rise of the "social" zombies who do nothing but talk on facebook to each other about nothing because all they're doing with their lives is sitting on facebook talking to each other about nothing. Something "trending" on twitter would give me negative, not positive, associations.

Instead of spending the time registering and signing up for twitter, figuring out what to do, and broadcasting your pointless 140 character "tweet" out to the world that no-one will even read because you have no followers (partly because you're a new member, partly because no-one cares what you say), why not spend that time doing something USEFUL for e-sports like telling a new person about why the game is so great. Or hell, just go play a game of starcraft. There's no need to artificially inflate the pointless social media chirruping - just go and help grow ESPORTS! The social shit that inevitably and unavoidably surrounds everything nowadays will grow appropriately of its own accord anyway.


EDIT: I fear I am turning into a grumpy old man

so let me repeat what you said :

"lets SPAM together to make something we like more popular..."

what about writing emails to everyone in the world with a story of a African king so that we can collect money for esport?

This is possibly the worst analogy ever conceived, and everyone in this thread is now dumber for having read it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

One person sending 10,000 identical e-mails =/= 10,000 unique people sending one unique tweet. The idea is to spread the word about ESPORTS to people on Twitter who may not know that much about it.

1) you are able to rewrite something you read on the internet, congrats to this! it let you look very intelligent...
At least you have one sentence with your own words. More than most other ...


2) so the idea is to advertise ESPORT by faking the twitter stats. Thats not really new, you call it SPAM.
As good as the lets "vote up" on reddit.

The goal is that more people who dont know about ESPORT know about it.
So do you know how to make money without work?
i want to bring this closer to you, pls pm my all your emails i will make sure your are on many spamlists so you get kind of unique mails form 10.000 people every day.
