How to Leave Twitter
My Time as Queen of the Universe and Why This Must Stop
Grace Dent
- Three
- years
- ago
- columnist
- and
- author
- Grace
- Dent
- joined
- new
- social
- network
- site
- Twitter,
- mainly
- as
- a
- place
- to
- dump
- her
- surplus
- jokes,
- rant
- about
- garbage
- TV
- and
- post
- exclusive
- j-pegs
- of
- her
- hot
- new
- toenail-varnish.
- But
- as
- every
- 're-tweet'
- and
- 'Follow
- Friday'
- saw
- her
- audience
- figures
- soar
- by
- tens
- of
- thousands,
- Dent
- found
- herself
- centre-stage
- in
- an
- all-consuming
- highly
- addictive
- social
- network
- revolution.
- One
- where
- the
- gags,
- gossip,
- scandal
- and
- backstabbing
- literally
- never
- stop.
Here
- Dent
- takes
- a
- hilarious,
- acerbic
- look
- at
- what's
- really
- going
- on
- in
- Twitterworld;
- who's
- actually
- tweeting,
- who's
- really
- reading
- your
- tweets
- and
- what's
- behind
- the
- 140
- character
- lies
- they
- tell.
- She
- looks
- at
- the
- highs
- and
- grotty
- lows
- of
- twitter
- addiction,
- the
- shameless
- social
- climbers,
- the
- friends
- you'll
- make
- and
- the
- ones
- you
- can't
- get
- bloody
- rid
- of,
- the
- barefaced
- bragging,
- the
- shameful
- celeb-stalking,
- and
- the
- truth
- about
- 'twanking',
- twitter
- cliques,
- angry
- 'twitchfork
- mobs'
- and
- dealing
- with trolls.
