New year, new tweets! I was on vacation and skipped December’s “Fake Follow,” so I’ve got two months of tweets to catch you up on.
This month has more retweets than normal. I guess the people I follow were just really on their game.
And a quick aside: I started this series under the assumption that many of you blog readers don’t regularly follow me on Twitter. Is that true? You tell me! Take this two-question survey to help me figure out whether I should keep posting these once a month.
(RSS and Email readers will need to view this post online to take the poll. I’d appreciate it if you did.)
If you still get your MTs confused with your RTs, check out the first fake follow post for the Twitter jargon. All the tweets are ones I sent or “retweeted” to the masses.
In @Facebook's notification window, unread notifications have LOWER text-background contrast than read messages. #badUX

Pro-tip: When using social media, make sure your hashtags are secure by using numbers, letters, and symbols. Example: #h@5Htag #yourewelcome

Sites with dropdowns whose top level items aren't clickable make me go click-click-click-click-click just because.

Nice redesign by @NYTimes but I'm surprise the design isn't responsive! Text zoom isn't that nice because of it.
