Quick Tip: Don't Be a Social Media Spammer

So for today's Quick Tip I'm going to talk about one of my social media pet peeves... and I'm sure I'm going to piss off a lot of people with it. Because a lot of people do it. A lot of people in my network do it. A lot of people in my network who are social media experts do it. What, exactly, am I talking about?

It's what I call the pointless social media Tweet/Google+/FB update. The "good morning world" message that contains nothing more than a "hello." It's a pointless message that only serves to clutter up FB or Twitter feeds with content no one needs and that isn't amusing/instructive/helpful... or even INTERESTING. And it doesn't tell me much about you, other than what time you first check your social media networks in the morning.

So my advice to you: Don't clutter your followers/friends feeds with messages that don't contribute. Don't be a social media spammer...
