Apparently, it is still difficult for many people to not use Twitter for writing about stupid things. That’s hard if you want to be as fun and interesting as possible on Twitter. Jose Enrique of Newcastle United could not keep his mouth and let people on Twitter know that he would not play against rival opponent Tottenham Hotspur. Not a smart move by Mr. Jose because the coach wanted to keep the news from the public for as long as possible. Thanks to this smart action, each Newcastle player got a free Twitter course: “what can I do and say on Twitter”.
In the Netherlands there were also a few things with Twitter which did not make people happy. Following the Tweet of a senior police officer from the southwest of Drenthe (in the Netherlands) which stated some negative things about the PVV (political party), this time the head of another police force in the Netherlands crossed the line. He could not restrain himself to be out negative about the PVV on Twitter. That was the drop that spilled the bucket and all police officers now get a free course: “what I can and cannot say on Twitter”. Maybe they can ask for the signatures of the Newcastle squad.
But if that wasn’t even bad enough, there is a Dutch teenager who was apparently looking for some attention on the Internet. She thought it was fun to Twitter about committing a bombing at her high school. She thought she would be so funny. But afterwards, she was arrested and interrogated by the police. It’s a lesson to learn for her because she is also temporary suspended from school. Now she has plenty of time to think about what is funny and what is not….
One positive thing though, is that a new industry is born thanks to these people: courses in Twittering!
