Words of wisdom, criminal!
Yes, I am a devout Python fan. But hear me out, for this entry’s title is appropriate!
So I have good news and bad news. I’ll start with the latter. One of my more tech-savvy classmates confirmed my suspicions with the latest involuntary message sent out:
Creepy, ¿no?
Of course, I didn’t send out a picture; this was yet another message. I decided to leave it up as a sort of social experiment, to see how my Twit family would react. I suppose one of them was finally fed up with my shenanigans, or thought it in his and everyone else’s best interests to call me out:
Others were not as incriminating, albeit more blunt.
Still, I don’t see the harm in letting the Spam coexist with my own authored Tweets. Surely others will see it as a nuisance, and rightfully so. I, however, see the benefit, as relationships forged through the Spam have given me a certain mystique that previously did not exist.
Without the original Tweets, I might not have befriended such cute classmates. Turns out that weight loss, hilarious jokes, and funny pictures will get anyone’s attention. And even if the ruse is discovered and the spam unearthed, people seem to be more understanding than I originally thought.
Why can't everyone be this understanding?
Needless to say, the impact of Spam – specifically Twitspam, in my case – has had a greater impact on my college life than I would have ever anticipated. Email almost acts in a closed circuit board, where your actions and mistakes are private. But on a vessel such as Twitter, where everything is ripe for public consumption, everyone can know when someone is vulnerable to SpamTweets (TwitSpam or SpamTweet, which do you guys like more? Comment below!). So users see it as a kink in the system that anyone can fall prey to. Some, such as LatteWithLewis, deem me as ignorant, while others such as ghpinc and rachel_brownlow, acknowledge it without (at least to my knowledge) positive or negative bias. In my case, I have embraced Twitspam to the fullest. One could even argue that I am exploiting it for social benefit. And to think, all this in just a couple of weeks!
In other important news, I have changed my major to something called Emerging Media & Communication, AKA EMAC. I have learned that the program deals with several digital topics, among them Spam. Needless to say, I think it’s a perfect fit
