In this episode Bill and Nathan discuss Twitter use and specifically five kinds of people you don’t want to be on Twitter. This post is based on a post Bill wrote in April.

What are you doing? Sipping a skinny mocha latte and watching whales from my celebrity friend’s yacht.

Bio: My tweets are your tweets. I don’t have anything interesting to say myself.
What are you doing? RT the latest thing to come across my feed reader in the last five minutes.

Name: Hypsters
Location: Who cares. You just need to buy what I’m selling.
Bio: Buy my stuff. Hire me. Make six figures in 12 hours. I’m going to make you famous.

Bio: My day, all day, everyday, 140 characters at a time.
What are you doing? Woke up at 6:42. Did number 1. Got a shower. Water took longer to warm up than usual. Shampoo, no conditioner. Same towel as yesterday.
