Last night (Aug 10,2009) I decided to use a twitter application that I truly thought was harmless and used it to "give recommendations" to many guys/gals that I felt deserved a "shout-out" as they have always been supportive and nice to me on "Twitter".
With my new job about to start next week and moving into a new apartment, I knew my time on "twitter" would be rare and thus, before departing from it, I would leave with some happy thoughts to the guys/gals that I follow or those who follow me.
"That Didn't Happen"!!!
Unbeknown to me, using the "Mr. Tweet" application created havoc amongst those who I recommended and actually pissed off others who didn't even get one. How do I know? well by the number of "DM" 'S that I received telling me to "shut it down". Instead of telling me what it was doing, they simply told me to cease for a variety of reasons none that I care to elaborate on as it bears no real meaning.
It took one phone call from a very close buddy who I did in fact recommend who was highly upset and without further "ado", I ceased sending the recommendations. I was still in the dark as to what havoc it had caused but would find out later from buddies who explained it the best they could and accepted my apology at face value.
Why did I use a twitter application and not just do a FF or SSS or Humpday follow? I wanted to add something about each person, more personal I guess but as it turned out...it backfired!!
So to all twitters that were on last night and got the "wrath of Mr. Tweet" through, my recommendations....I truly apologize for the inconvenience. It won't happen again as I REFUSE to use any applications on "twitter" !!!

I forgive - things like that happen to us all at one time or another. There is a lot of crazy software out there on the internet and we just have to be very careful what we use. I downloaded what I thought was a very useful, safe, beneficial program one time and ended up getting clobbered with all kinds of putrid advertisements - took forever to get rid of it. Be careful and wear your internet condom :>)
