The Tweet in Which MCHammer tells me to quit

OK this is too entertaining not to share.

I was watching Fox News (don't ask...) and MCHammer was on the Governor Mike Huckabee show talking about Twitter. He is talking about his million followers, how he understands social media, and how he has a friend who invested in Twitter. Ok fine... I send this tweet:

Listening to @mchammer on @govmikehuckabee 's show; i really dont think he understands twitter (or has a friend who invested in it)...lame

To which I receive these mentions:

@jillianreading @mchammer over a million followers & U have HOW MANY? Oh yea UNDER 300 Sure is clear who understands twitter & WHO DON'T LOL

RT @MCHammer: @jillianreading U shld quit advising students. Clearly U dont do research in an area U have declared yourself an expert.


Now, my twitter profile states this:

Academic advisor for exploratory students; looking for ways to integrate tech and increase collaboration

Where in there do I declare myself an expert? And why is MCHammer telling me to quit advising? This comment just seems to re enforce my prior statement of MCHammer "lameness".

It is going to take more than a tweet to get this girl down.

And clearly your original statement that he doesn't understand twitter is true if he thinks you can't get value out of twitter with 300 followers.
