The Day @katebuckjr Saved Twitter

Most days, I’m not concerned about getting “credit” for being helpful. Today is no different.

That being said, as I watch the Twitter world rejoice with happiness as they opt out of Fun140 auto DM’s from hell, I can’t help but feel pride as the one who I single-handedly saved Twitter.

    Should I unfollow those who seems to be selling in every tweet?? Do you?

    Do you actually read every Tweet? I found that there are so many, like while I'm reading then Twitter will tell me there are 500 more tweet since the last 30 seconds! I only have 400+ followers!
