I spend way too much time online…

@trent_reznor still attacking people on twitter even after his good-by to social media

Again… THIS guy needs to have his account suspended, revoked and demolished.

He has lost his, “verified” tag which means nothing. But a very interesting step taken by Twitter!

@trent_reznor did help help raise money and awareness to the #ERIC campaign by creating a site for people to donate money for the #ERIC cause. One fact that is very much overlooked is he also GAVE SUICIDE tips for, “cutters” shortly there after!

#ERIC died on July 4th. A sad day for his family, but not totally unexpected. His family saw the signs well in advance and began speaking out against the system that was holding him back.

This, “celebrity” has apparently been stalking those that speak out against him AND that, “quit social media sites” comment… Really?

He has once again attempted to show his power (or lack there of) by attacking people  on line.

@trent_reznor tweets;

@RemySoho @AndreaUrbanFox – you are both ignorant, insensitive uniformed cunts. A “prostitute” and a pig.

about 1 hour ago from web in reply to RemySoho

First off… DID you mean to  insult them by calling them, “UNIFORMED CUNTS”? I think you meant, “UNINFORMED.”

This coming from a guy that has, “Not reading replies at this time. If you follow known trolls, you will get blocked” on his twitter profile.

(Of all the times to do this, TR decided to, “tweet” during the Micheal Jackson funeral).

Now, I follow BOTH of these people. @RemySoho is paid for sex., that is what she does. @AndreaUrbanFox is an outspoken, candid and very blunt person. What they share in common was one question that made Reznor upset. They were both curious (as are many others) as to what EXACTLY is going to happen with the #ERIC money.

The question is a valid one. You see, NOTHING was ever mentioned about the FACT that once #ERIC made his way over to California and was on the list for a transplant that the money that was raised in HIS name was no longer needed. None of the #ERIC supporters mentioned this in so much as a, “tweet.”

Why not?

I am positive they have plans for helping others in need of transplants.

Reznor decided to announce his additional tour dates for NIN and attack these people during the Michael Jackson funeral. This is a very calculated move by a very cut-throat business man.

On a side note: This was pointed out too me and I wanted to give kudos to his fiance for having a sense of humor.

@mariqueen ; “just got a pair of these! http://bit.ly/XXmZM they go great with my new persona.”

That had me rolling!

My blog was suspended by someone(s) claiming I had violated the TOS of WordPress. I have been in contact with WordPress. This should not be of issue again, they are aware of the kind of traffic I receive and are taking the measures needed to stop this from happening again.

@moontweet Censored by Twitter for having an interesting trending topic named #moonfruit

Is Twitter.com going to die and decay with censorship?

A contest held by @moontweet caught on BIG on Twitter. Blowing the trending topics away for many days in a row. This is an EXCELLENT maneuver of product branding. However, this has seemed to make twitter take a step back and start changing policies.

Mashable explains here that some  pranksters assembled to create havoc on twitter. This has led to some very tough choices for Twitter. Apparently #moonfruit gets to be the guinea pig for this censorship. The company has altered their contest in an attempt to comply with Twitters new rules.

It really is a shame that these kind of things happen. If Twitter had taken the time to build a site that could not easily be taken under control, this would never happen. Spam is and issue… Just ask Craigslist. I fear that if this issue is not handled properly, Twitter will die a quick death.

I personally hope Twitter takes a step back and thinks about what they are embarking upon. What they say about the road they are traveling on is most true at this very moment.

Is this the proverbial shark being jumped by Twitter?

OH! I will be tweeting this blog, along with #moonfruit too @moontweet…

RIP #moonfruit… Rest in piece.

Sincerely,

@fredgarrett
