This blog post at Social Media Today just got sent round the office about how *not* to use Twitter. It’s the rubbishiest use of Twitter we’ve ever seen (and let’s face it, the bar ain’t that high!).

The offender is trendy furniture store Habitat, who appear to have been sold some kind of automatic tweet-spam generator. Said tool goes off and fetches hashtags for trending topics and inserts them into lame tweets about product. The result is unbelievably crass, as you can see below, and includes hashtags for those following the Iranian Election, with the result is a tweet that reads, “#MOUSAVI Join the database to win a £1000 gift card Now!”

Someone, somewhere is responsible for this. They should pay the ultimate price. It’s one of the worst ideas EVER.
