File this in the category of BAD email pitches

Someone used one of the contact forms on Tweetworks today to send this email. Let's assume that this is a genuine email pitch. First, the person demonstrated that he isn't all that bright. We are social media site, if he wants links to his site all he need do is join Tweetworks and get his tweet on. Second, I think he's more likely asking for free advertising in exchange for an article. What?

Hi Tweetworks

I came across your page at -
http://www.tweetworks.com/users/view/manfmnantucket

I am looking to get some links for my New York entertainment site and
was hoping I could write and article of content for you in exchange for
a link on your page.  The article can be on any subject you want and
use any keywords.  The article will be handwritten by me one time and
completely yours to do what you wish.

The content page will be SEO optimized for search engine friendliness
and can be used on your site or if you wish I can distribute the
article to article sites, blogs and publishers to promote your site.


I can also get you a few different links in my many Pagerank theme
directories in exchange for a link.  I am up for any ideas you may have
as well!

Thanks for any and all help!

NAME OMMITTED

P.S.  I am really in need of some links to promote my site so thanks
for any help.  I am a real person and will help you in anyway for a
link, this is not a mass email or bot and I hope does not come across
as spam.  I found your site in the search engines and not from any sort
of list, this is a one time personal email.

Pimped Out Yaris

I'm pretty sure the rims cost more than the car.

Who does this?

I'm so curious to know, but I won't click the link. Who or what and why does someone on a daily basis use the contact form on Tweetworks to post messages like this?

7 Things You Might Wish You Didn’t Know About Me

No only does Lyell Petersen (aka @93Octane) go gaga over hashtags, it's an addiction really, he apparantly enjoys inflicting pain on people like me who don't particularly enjoy writing. But, since Lyell's my buddy and I love goofy stuff like this I figure I'll let it rip and pass it forward.

If I deemed you worthy enough to pass this glorious honor on to you, and put its continued existence in your very hands (you! have! the! power!), please follow these care and feeding guidelines:

* Link to your original tagger(s) and list these rules in your post.
* Share seven facts about yourself in the post.
* Tag seven people at the end of your post by leaving their names and the links to their blogs.
* Let them know they’ve been tagged

Let's get ripping shall we:

  1. I have never been to New York City. I know! I live in Boston you'd think I would've just zipped down for a weekend or something. One time I even had Letterman tickets but due to a work conflict (my wife's work conflict) I had to overnight the tickets to my friend Ryan who had moved to NYC. Oh and you KNOW he was on TV that night when Dave went into the audience to play "Know Your Cuts of Meat."
  2. I once did the Body for Life Challenge. No, I didn't get oiled up in a Speedo but I did get my body fat down to 7 percent. I was pretty lean and mean. I gained a tremendous sense of confidence with that challenge. I think I might do it again sometime soon. What do you say? You game?
  3. I am almost OCD in my coffee ritual at Starbucks. I always take two napkins with my coffee. Not one, not three but TWO. One might not be enough in case the coffee spills a little or burps in the cup holder in the car. Three? Well, that's just a waste.
  4. I grew an Andre Agassi style mullet during my senior year of high school. Yup! If you can get your hands on a Brockton High School class of 1990 yearbook you'll see me dangling earing and all. You know what? I'm glad I did too because now I'm all face. If my son wants to do whacky crap with his hair someday I'll tell him to go for it.
  5. I have a dream of sailing accross the Atlantic. (Hey Lyell, you down?) Ideally I'd like to do the Pilgrim voyage and the Columbus voyage. How cool would that be? You know, minus the disentary and such. That and I'd be on a kick ass blue water sailer with satellite hookup.
  6. I'm an artist. I love to draw and paint. I don't seem to make the time for it like I should but my future involves lots of time in a studio. I painted the mural in the baby's nursery and I find myself brainstorming ways to take the walls with us when we move some day in the future.
  7. This is all you need to know about my sense of humor. Yeah, I'm still a 12 year old inside. Life is supposed to be fun.

Are you done laughing yet? Okay, now for the list of seven Tweeters (in no particular order) who will be sharing their seven next:

  1. @JeffCutler
  2. @Eric_Guerin
  3. @Chad_Northrup
  4. @Loreen72
  5. @LaniAR
  6. @RobertCollins
  7. @amentele

If you wouldn't mind, please tweet a link to your post in the 7ThingsAboutMe group on Tweetworks. You know because, it's Tweetworks.
