ugh, i mean "some of the people i follow." bleh, semantics.

I follow around 200...some people hardly post at all, or someone like Ebert posts every 5 minutes in the evenings...I think I've got it to a point where I've got a nice regular flow of tweets from a variety of people. I don't like reading streams of stuff from the same person. And I read pretty much all of it. Some of the links I may not follow.
― VegemiteGrrrl, Sunday, 15 August 2010 02:09 (thirteen years ago) link
But I can't really fathom following thousands of people. Too noisy!
i actually follow a lot of the links! it's one of the things i enjoy most about twitter. it's a great/entertaining way to aggregate stuff around the web.
― diurnal eternal falafel (get bent), Sunday, 15 August 2010 02:30 (thirteen years ago) link
I'm slowly figuring that out...retraining myself to stop and follow the links, bc I always end up entertained or informed more than if I just flew on by.

I guess this is the point of tweetdeck tho where you can parcel all the streams out into types ('friends', 'celebrities', 'sport' etc.)
― bela guolaosi (cozen), Monday, 23 August 2010 13:02 (thirteen years ago) link
not that I use tweetdeck; probably should
and the lists, too, not that i use those either. i follow 374 people, many of whom rarely/never post*, and of those who do, not all of their tweets will actually be interesting to me, so i skim them. any more and it might get a bit much (or i might just start using the lists &c). regular tweeters whose tweets actively irk me for whatever reason (like, not a hostile "i don't like this person" reason, more usually "i don't like this person's humour") or who are never interesting or useful will be the ones who get unfollowed.
*the thing is i never know whether they're on twitter reading everyone else's tweets or whether they just got bored and went away! i find this disconcerting. greg you are one of these.

i can't seem to want to have a twitter of my own at all, it is weird to me as i got into so many other internet things. i do run a fake one for the irish police force tho which i can easily update. i prob should just sync my facebook with twitter.

Hmm, I got told off for syncing Facebook with Twitter, as people using both were seeing duplicate updates.
― mike t-diva, Tuesday, 24 August 2010 09:29 (thirteen years ago) link
http://www.facebook.com/selectivetwitter - add #fb to any tweet you want to copy to Facebook instead of syncing them all.
