It’s called “Your Tweets Are Bad,” and you can find it at @urtweetsrbad. It exists for one reason and one reason only: to highlight lame tweets from recognizable brands.

And it goes on. And on. And on.

Digiday ran a short Q&A with the anonymous owner of @urtweetsrbad — it’s someone that’s been in the marketing industry for about five years and currently works in social media and started the account just for fun.

His/Her goal with the account? To “inspire some social media managers or agency creatives to be just a little less lazy. Or make people laugh, sigh or roll their eyes.”

So far, so good, I’d say.
