In Which We Stop Spamming Twitter
Posted by John Brownlee
We’ve heard you: most of the people in our Twitter friends list are already subscribed to our RSS feed, and don’t need a constant bombardment of our blog updates in 140 character spam bites. Sorry about that: it wasn’t malicious, we just weren’t thinking. This post will be the last time we’ll ping Twitter for each and every post. Instead, from now on, our Twitter strategy is to give an end-of-the-day brief synopsis of what we posted about, as well as to feed our Twitter account throughout the day with stray links and pithy observations about all of the mundane details of our lives: what color are our socks? Here’s a cute kitty cat video! Boy, I just can’t get moving today. What is this fluid filled goiter? And why is it talking to me?
If you’ve been an Ectomo friend who has stopped following us because we went overboard, please feel free to add us back to your friends list.

Perfect call. I’m loving the Google Ads, too - you must really be stress-testing some of their algorithms…

Ah, the Google Ads…

I’m beginning to fear that my ad blocker is robbing me of some free entertainment here.

I will say that people spamming twitter can be annoying, but why subscribe to RSS and Twitter? Duh.
RE: Google Ads
Colon Cleansing, Parasites, Barney and Friends DVDs definately freaking out our Google overlords.

I pretty consistently see ads for parasite formula and parasite flush… one seems to be for it, and one against it.
And Twitter is retarded anyway.

That parasite thing has to be because of our site description, which talks about toxoplasmosis.
