I use our company's twitter to complain about how much I hate my job.

So does this count as a single-serving site? Because it's sort of like a prank, a fake-out. Dare I say like a Rick-Roll. So I guess I'm wondering if a single-serving site is meant to serve the viewer - or the person tricking the viewer into clicking?

Ehhh. Most people on Twitter use it for a form of PR/marketing. Except maybe <a href="http://twitter.com/manatee/status/1055999847" target="_blank">this guy</a>. <br /><br /> <br /><br /> While its usually not as blatant as a brand with a trademarked name (there are of course <a href="http://twitter.com/joshspear" target="_blank">exceptions</a>), personal marketing runs rampant on Twitter. Why else would tools like Twinfluence and Twitter Grader exist?

PS. Your <a href="http://twitter.grader.com/" target="_blank">Twitter Grade</a> is 100 out of 100. Have you thought about <a href="https://www.twittad.com/index.php" target="_blank">monetization</a>?

Yeah, but that whole person-as-brand thing is a bit of a cul-de-sac. It's not so much that it's innacurate as it is stifling.<br /><br /> <br /><br />
