Social Media Tweaks

post by Michelle Griep
I don't spend a great deal of time on social media, but when I do, there are a few things that set my teeth on edge. After pondering these peeves, I came up with a few tweaks that ought to make the world a better place . . .

Thumbs-Down Facebook Icon
Every shlub in the universe can leave horrific book reviews in minute detail on Amazon, so why not share the hate and give readers a thumbs down opportunity on Facebook?

Twitter Dunk Tank
For every book promo tweeted, the tweeter should have to sit on a virtual dunk tank while readers get three free-throws to dampen their narcissistic marketing binges.

Kumbaya Club at Goodreads
There are a lot of drive-by commenters on Goodreads. How about we start a Kumbaya Club over there and spread some some joy and peace?

Linked In Shock Collar
Why would Mbwantano Ngli endorse me for my sweet marine biology skills? I live in the freaking Midwest! False endorsements need a zap of electricity. Just sayin'.

Instagram Blow-Up-Your-Computer Virus
Every time you post a cat picture, your computer should blow up.

There you have it. Got any better ideas? Share them in the comment section. Come on. Be brave. Your ideas seriously can not be any stranger than mine.
