TweetSG – SMS to Update

I can understand as a user, you are frustrated when a system fails you. Even if you were to update like “TweetSG, your system is fuck up or TweetSG U SUCK”, I respect that because it’s your Twitter profile and you are entitled to write whatever you see deem fit.

If you were to add @TweetSG in your not-so-nice updates, in case some of you aren’t aware, MOST if not ALL Twitter clients will show it on my screen. Depending on my mood, I may just overlook those updates but if I’m not in a good mood, I will just delete you from the system and ask you to go screw yourself.

My brain is not made of circuit board and I don’t earn a single cent from you. To me, this system is just a small little experiment to test certain equipment and ideas. The system was designed to “cross-follow”, ie. “I follow you, you follow me” so that system notices can be disseminated to users. One can still use TweetSG without following @TweetSG account.

Yes, statements that I update on TweetSG profile will be seen by many, about 7000+. Whenever possible, I will help broadcast some local blogshop “advertising” requests and even new SMS-to-Twitter services. If you are one of those who dream to have lots of followers or think that I should have crafted my Twitter updates in a certain way because of the number of followers and unreasonable bitchers, go setup your own service/account and preach your own gospel. If you don’t like my style of writing, get lost.

I concede, as an individual, I am incapable of providing a 100% up-time service and nice-to-everyone personality. I appreciate kind users who shared some ideas to monetize this service. However, I have yet to come across an interesting model that pays off. If those ideas were to be good enough, it should be the online news that I read daily. As far as my experience tells me, Singaporeans will bitch even louder when they paid a few dollars for some services.

SMS Tweeting in Singapore (even 1 way) did caught-on in a way that a few players have also started equivalent and even better systems that I openly shared with users both here and on Twitter. How they are running it is their problem. I don’t give a crap if you move to another system or unfollow.

Don’t expect me to be polite to you if you don’t know how to be polite in the first place.
