I don’t know what it is, whether it’s a domain investor thing or a Twitter thing, but I see far too many people responding to tweets about domain names to mention their own, usually less good, domain names. For instance, I could mention a high value one word .com domain name that sold, and inevitably, someone will reply mentioning their three word .biz domain name they hand registered a couple of weeks ago.
I am not really a confrontational person, so the remedy for me is to mute that person. I don’t do this to everyone, but if someone’s first interaction with me is a mention of their own crappy domain name, they’re muted.
It’s understandable to get excited when a domain name crosses the screen that has some traits of a similar domain name in the portfolio. I don’t really get why someone would think other people are interested in seeing their domain name though. It’s not like I am going to suddenly start buying .whatever domain names because someone mentioned it to me in a tweet about a totally different, much more valuable domain name.
Twitter is a great place to share news and opinions. Aimlessly spamming unrelated, valueless domain names is not a great approach, in my opinion. I know several people who simply block those people or respond by telling them how bad their domain name is, but that is a more aggressive approach. I am more of a mute person.

Oooh… I would only want the .co and .icu.
Do what I do: report them to Twitter for “reply spam”. Twitter wants you to report to them when someone does “reply spam”, which is exactly what the annoying person is doing. Twitter has a “reply spam” option under the reporting functionality to help everyone with this problem.
I don’t do twstter,facesheet,intagerm or any social media…..waste of time and peoples’ opinions are worthless..
