There’s a lot of expert advice out there about how to build the ultimate social media profile which some ignore.   I decided to take the John Cleese training film approach and share with you my entry for the worst Twitter bio ever (now on display at Twitter for a limited time only).

Here it is, in its entirety, for your pleasure:

Too boring to follow. Extremely unlikely to buy, convert, or click on your link. Negative. Smarm intolerant. Eats puppies, kittens, and babies. Danger of halitosis.

I did forget to add ugly, fat, and old, but hey, it’s Twitter after all.

Michael Martine agrees that it’s the “world’s worst Twitter bio“.  He’s a smart guy, he would know.

But…

isn’t it refreshingly normal?  Possibly honest and realistic?  Doesn’t it possibly appeal to people with a sense of humor who aren’t limited to scanning text and sound bites?

Just wondering if you think that maybe, just maybe, things are a little too sanitized and “perfect” out there?

EDIT (Aug. 1/09):  changed the Twitter bio to something more representative,  but, of course, the original text lives here.
