How To Handle Twitter Drama

Millions of people use Twitter. In fact, from anyone who has noticed, 2009 has been the year that Twitter literally exploded and finally became more mainstream. Many businesses and celebrities use the service in many ways.

Some celebrities share information of articles about them or where they are going to be if they are in the mood to welcome the public, or for pure publicity. Not long ago Trent Reznor of the band Nine Inch Nails decided that Twitter was no longer for him (by the way, the link to his old Twitter account is to a Twitter ‘Page not found.’ He had quite the followership and was quite active in his tweet stream. He got down with the masses of fans and haters alike to tweet. It was the haters who ended up the winner.

However, he has not been the only one to feel the glares and flamage. Businesses, celebrities, and even normal people on a daily basis on Twitter are getting the same treatment. It all boils down to how you handle the situation. If you have gotten into a situation where people are harassing you on Twitter, or any other social network.

1. Report to the service (Twitter or whatever other social network you use) if the accusations are threatening or defamation of character.
2. Just ignore it. Flamers get tired when you do not fuel the fire.
3. Block users you feel you do not want to hear from if they are persistent.

Not everyone will ever agree with what you say, so you may catch a few kerfluffles, but it is best to be laid back about the situation.
