My opinion of Twitter has changed since January ... there’s always someone looking to ruin everyone else’s fun and I call them “Twitter Tourettes”. What is this? Well this is those individuals who have forgotten or lost their common sense filter on Twitter. Rather than send one or two “twits” on a particular thing or subject they send twenty streams of consciousness that have no value to anyone and just serve to make Twitter harder to follow.
Twitter Tourette’s, to coin a phrase, is used in this context to describe a phenomenon which has been increasing on the Internet regarding a (seemingly unknown) compulsion to publicise private or inappropriate material online (not to make light of Tourette’s Syndrome, in which 10% of people with Tourette’s swear uncontrollably). Serious thought needs to be given to not only the use of social networking tools within the workplace, but training to employees as to how they use it within their private lives.
Sometimes Celebs or their ghost tweeters get a little ahead of themselves, and blurt out stuff that they just plain shouldn't. Sometimes it's sick, but usually it's just dumb.
* not really a citation, but interesting note. They are discussing an algorithm to "deliver" quotes like Tourette's Guy.
I Cannot Stop... Thanks to my copious amounts of Red Bull consumption, need to not miss anything & belief that sleep is time-wasted. I am hyper active & LOVE LIFE! Maybe I'm sleep deprived or just crazy, but find myself shouting twitter hashtags all day long & inter-jecting them into daily random conversation (Yes, sometimes in 'professional work envionments' as well).
My roomate has Tourettes. He let me make this account to share his hilariously random tics. Take note - he is not racist and can not control what is said.
Twitter tourettes - the uncontrollable urge to spout random nonsense in 140 characters or less.
I love, laugh , hear, react , I never want, I sometimes need. I'm a Bi-Polar explorer and have twitter tourettes. So fuck off .I love you. #coys #thfc
I’ve followed this dude on Twitter since my Twitter birth and he doesn’t aim to be misbehavin, but he does it in style and is awesome. He does often have bouts of Twitter Tourettes, but he’s ever such a gentleman and gives the best Twitter hugs and kisses ever..
@Gaijinsan he’s our man, if he can’t do it no one can…:)
for too many Tweets in an hour. I feel bitch-slapped.
Junko Matthews commented: That’s funny; however, you were experiencing Twitter Tourettes yesterday. ;) The upswing was I felt like I was right there with you in the audience.
The blogosphere and Twitter were abuzz with Morgan James’ tweet from Tuesday night. ... Yesterday she tweeted the above apologizing for her twitter tourettes.
This week on the Marketing Update, Elli Mirman and Andrew Quinn discuss Beiber fever leading to Twitter Tourette?s, not believing everything you read on the Internet, an advertising company going inbound, people really liking online shopping, Twitter?s tailored trends, and Foursquare.
Ian Cruise has, as predicted, made abit of a fool of himself, due to his constant swearing and updates on his wine drinking on his Twitter account. You'd think he'd learn from his mistakes when in the Council Chamber members from all sides expressed disgust with his comments (including Sir Albert). But, alas, he hasn't. His first comment is, "Will probably be torn a new backside later in the week by the chief whip and the leader for my twitter comments". But he even says, "I've got Twitter tourettes". Personally I have a very good sense of humour but maybe because I have a friend with tourettes I find his comment re 'Twitter Tourettes' as very distasteful. What do others think?
If you follow the Iron Sheik on Twitter, then you know he has some issues. The former wrestler has Twitter Tourettes and constantly tweets about Hulk Hogan, Chris Bosh, Jose Canseco and their tiny man packages.

Technology is my life. Love Photography. I'm Northern Irish and Proud. I believe I have Twitter Tourettes. Massive Only Fools and Horses fan!
50Kaweeksub: As usual, however, the real loser in all this (Ferdinand aside) is Joey Barton (see his Twitter feed). As always JB has managed to turn the spotlight from those affected on to himself with his spell of twitter tourettes which, whilst entertaining, is also self serving, attention seeking and a little pathetic.

A man attacks me for my humor and then hits the follow button. I think it's some sort of Twitter tourettes syndrome or something.
