Great article… I am building my followship and have actually ignored a few questionable follows (money making schemes, folks with bad links, etc). Other than that, I like to follow back if feasible. Twitter is this decade’s version of the CB radio my dad had when I was a kid. A lot of noise, a cool handle, and fun running conversations.

In several studies it was shown that cute people earn more than plain people no matter the education/experience. Cute people are most likely to be assisted, helped or aided quickly than plain looking Jane or Bob and Jane or Bob might even be ignored. ABC News showed that a lady with fashion model looking looks will get hired for a front desk than a portly plain Jane even if Jane has the better office skills.

Now is not a good time to post a Middle Eastern/MUslim sounding name at Twitter such as Osama, Saddam, Muhammad or Ali the same also goes for Black sounding names as Tamika, Dashawn or Booker T.

Susan Boyle is proof positive just how superficial most human beings are. Odds are most employers would not hire her and if hired she would be under paid, if under paid she would never see a promotion. She would never get a job that requires high public profile. People that look like Stephen Hawking and Ms Boyle do not get much value from social media because few people wants to be associated with UGLY. Yes, there are people on Twitter and Facebook with visible physical handicaps as they are at Texas Tech.
