It all started on a typical Friday evening with nothing to watch on TV. I turned to Twitter and noticed some strange posts with renamed movie titles tagged #movietwitter.
Since I’m a huge movie fan I opened a search panel for this tag and found that already some hundred people joined into this “event”.
After a short while this tag showed up at the top of the trending topics on Twitter Search and continued to grow and it continued to rise to the top of Twitter Search and Twitscoop.
Since every participator was typing large volumes of bogus movie titles, some, more reasonable people got annoyed and started filtering, blocking and to unfollow people.
Personally, filtering is the best option for such an occasion, since Twitter is all about following people with topics and interests similar to yours. But to unfollow people just because they have a good time with something you don’t want to accept is kind of childish.
The results of the way was that I lost about 4-5 followers and gained 3 new ones. One of the people unfollowing me joined up again on the next day and I still liked what we did on Friday.
