Not everyone likes Twitter

Soon after, those pangs of envy shifted to cold resentment. How lucky to not have your e-mail inbox crammed with random mindless publicists, acquaintances and even friends inviting you to join them or follow them on Twitter. It was bad enough having the world invite you to be “LinkedIn”, but the daily dilemma of what to do with these unwanted invitations is far too stressful. Do I ignore it? Is there a limit to how many times they can try to reach me? What if I actually rather like this person but I don’t want to follow them? Do I send an e-mail of apology? Does it demand a handwritten letter?
