Tweets

A few people have asked what my twitter #hashtags mean. For example, #DES and #BFD. If you don’t know, since being a Twitter early adopter (joined in 2006, user #874) I love hashtags. I created the #vampiremode hashtag a few years ago and from May 2009 to December 2010 launched a social media agency called OurHashtag with three partners.

Hashtags have been around for years before twitter in IRC channels and became popular on Twitter when Chris Messina started using hashtags tweeting about #barcamp events. In 2009 Twitter started linking #hashtags together in search results. Ref. wikipedia.

Earlier this year I tweeted that #DES would be my 2012 motto which stands for “Do Epic S**T”. You get the meaning. Here’s the complete rundown of my personal urban dictionary of #hashtags I like to use.

1. #vampiremode – The act of staying up late from 10:00 P.M. to 3:00 A.M. working on projects and getting things done.

2. #DES – “Do Epic S**T” . Normal is for everyday people. You’re not normal, so do epic things and go after your dreams.

3. #BFD – “Big Fuc***G Deal” The rest of the world my not know it but you know that you’re a big *** deal and you’re going to act like it and work on things until the world knows you’re a #BFD

4. #changetheworld – Exactly what it says, change the world. Things could be a lot better in this world but sadly it’s going to get worse but until then we must do our part or at least try.

By now I’m sure you have read and at least heard about some of the tragic news from today. Also in the news at least on Twitter are tweets about music artist coming out about their sexuality and there’s always a debate about religion, race and politics. No matter what your opinion is or how strong you feel about what’s happening in today’s society I always caution clients, friends and family be careful what you say online, especially Twitter as it can and will be held against you. Here are seven post with proof if you don’t believe me.

1. Starting 10/10/2010, Twitter will begin transferring all of your tweets to the Library of Congress for archiving

2. US subpoenas Wikileaks tweets, and why this could affect you

3. Courtney Love Twitter defamation trial starts in Feb; Designer sez crazy tweets ruined her career

4. Man in Twitter bomb threat against airport loses appeal

5. Twitter-Jacking On Trial: Cardinals’ Manager Sues Twitter

6. Woman Sued for $50,000 Over a Tweet

7. DOJ subpoenas Twitter records of several WikiLeaks volunteers

While anonymity remains a goal for some and it still exist for some social networks and web apps the government and other social networks such as Twitter and Facebook are buying to be your online single point of interest as your online identity profile. Of course you can add Google to the mix but this all means it is becoming easier to find you and hold you accountable for your remarks online. This means blog comments, tweets, status updates, videos and more.

No longer can individuals hind behind the computer screen or smarthphone. What you say online is the same as if you said it to someone’s face or in other public media formats such as TV and radio. Therefore be careful what you say especially on Twitter because your tweets can and will be held against you.

Today, @pipercarter sent a tweet saying “Twitter needs to come up with a way to mass delete all of these fake DM’s.“. Ironically I sent her a DM saying there is a way to mass delete twitter direct messages using a site called http://www.dmcleaner.com but it is not a feature from Twitter but a third party web tool.

This had me thinking, as earlier today Twitter CEO was blogged about saying “Twitter lacks ‘clear long term vision” about the idea of Twitter launching premium features for brands, businesses and media outlets. Not just a mass delete Twitter Direct messages feature but other real-time monitoring, analytics, and spam filtering services. These features and more may be included in Twitter’s soon to be launch analytics product. In the mean time if you want to mass delete your Twitter direct messages, DMcleaner.com is a simple tool that gets the job done.


What tool do you use to mass delete your Twitter direct messages?
