Tears Of Joy

Worst Practices

#TypoSquatting

Typos in hashtags generally are not accidental. Trump & other trolls and media manipulators use them to circumvent Twitter and other social media platform efforts to hide a hashtag in search results. It’s called #typosquatting.

Backlink Photo Credit Scam

Gavin Whitner is claiming ownership of other people’s photographs in order to get a link from you.

 

Too Soon, Gap, Too Soon

Twitter was NOT in the mood for unity.
