Twitter ads

Twitter pretty much only shows me ads that make me want to be mean to the people responsible for them.
I've noticed this with ads on... well... a lot of sites. And, oddly, a lot of sites that should know a lot about me. Starting with Facebook and Twitter, and moving down through the ranks.
One of the problems with Facebook and Twitter is that I'm already following the vendors I know about that I want to hear more from (and in Facebook's case, it's trying to restrict the information flow from them to me in order to extort ad dollars from them), but in so many of these cases the ads are so amazingly off-base that it's worse than having untargeted ads.
And while I'm ranting about "social media" trends: Next person who brings up "gamification" as a new concept gets a good hard smacking and an introduction to Toastmasters.
