My Least Favorite Twitter Tweets

If I had to choose one theme of Twitter messages as my least favorite, it would be messages that provide no context to me as a reader. They're generally messages that are relevant to the sender and only one of the sender's followers yet were sent publicly rather than as a direct tweet (or any of the many other forms of communication available for 2-way communication).

Here are three examples:

@reply Thank you.
@reply Agreed.
@reply Indeed.

The messages are positive. However, they're also irrelevant to almost all of the sender's followers.

Consider adding a little context to @reply messages so all followers can be part of the conversation.
