You and I have had this running conversation going back to 2004 to my knowledge. Back then it was about you reading 1500+ RSS feeds. I can\' find the 2004 post, but look st <a href="http://ipadventures.com/2005/03/16/making-the-blogroll-hurt-less/" rel="nofollow">http://ipadventures.com/2005/03/16/making-the-b...</a> in 2005 and it\'s referenced there as well.<br><br>The reading more philosophy sounds nice, but I still argue nobody actually reads and digests that much information. Like a baleen whale, we wind up sucking down krill. It all tastes the same and nothing stands out. When there\'s that much noise, the signal-to-noise ratio is skewed.<br><br>I won\'t argue that you don\'t see things in the noise that stand out. Of course you do. And yes, you\'re visible enough that a mention can make a huge difference for a company or person. But it\'s still noise. The value, the *listening* to the voices, and the real understanding come at a far deeper level. Following too many people reduces them all to noise. The mass falls toward the lowest common denominator. And while we can unfollow people on Twitter, and many of us do, as humans, there\'s a limit to our social circles.<br><br>On the other hand, if you come out vocally saying Twitter isn\'t social media for you, because you\'ve taken the social relationship out by mass quantity, and you purely use it as a sieve to strain the krill/noise, then you could be right. I\'m not sure that\'s what the Twitter folks were hoping for, but they\'ll take success where they find it (as will we all).<br><br>It\'s a topic I\'d love to see in a panel discussion with folks who don\'t hold with your view alongside you.<br><br>Thanks for posting your thoughts.</div>\

Certainly for the likes of you and me (although I feel strangely humbled by the self-comparison, sorry!)  I\'ve recently started hitting my 250 tweet SMS limit - attending [dev/it pro] events and reading what folks are saying about that event is important to me and helps shape my event experience.  That said, I do find myself checking over the "older" stream when I first fire up Twitter - just to learn what the rest of the world (outside of my timezone) has been up to - it can be enlightening, as you well know!<br><br>@thunk - it\'s somewhat therapeutic to have a face-2-face conversation, this same happens with Twitter.  I know a lot of folks think Twitter is a time-wasting device - used properly, it\'s not!  Getting a circle of friends and individuals to follow is the key: once you\'re "in conversation" with them, ideas flow, conversations that you would not normally have start to open your mind to the possibilities of Twitter (other micro-blogging tools are available).<br><br>So it\'s a combination of the right people to follow, and the right "things" (in my case events).</div>\

I\'m sure there are studies that prove that people capture less after a certain threshold of both quantity and time. And I\'m sure that Twitter is only relevant to a subset of people, e.g. journalists like yourself or marketeers like Calicanis, who I guess have the 2-hours/day to dedicate to this. So why are you trying to convince us that Twitter is good for everyone? Where is the science behind it, the objectivity?<br><br>Where is the study that proves that it is better for me to follow 10,000 people, when I already lose track after 30? And who am *I* supposed to be? John Smith from down the street, or some kind of *specific* professional whose work revolves around Twitter? And if it\'s meant to be someone specific, then qualify that.<br><br>I find it much more interesting to hear about interviews with Russian entrepreneurs or other visionaries, then a glamourised chat-program. But that\'s probably because I\'m me.</div>\

The most fascinating thing about Twitter is that in both cases, there is great value in it as a communication platform. I have met dozens of interesting people around the country solely because I follow a lot of people on Twitter. Of course, that\'s because I use Twitter to connect with new people, rather than as a method of grasping for cyber attention.</div>\

Is that really learning a lot about someone and their passions, intellectual curiosity and discoveries? Following so many: "i\'m at the coolest party ev-er!" and "look at what i\'m doing! look how cool it is!!" tweets?<br>I am experimenting with Twitter and I wonder if there is real value in the communications exchanged. Maybe what you write is true in the case of following tweets that are deeper than the shallow kinds I just described, but if so I cannot find them. Or else, it\'s a steep curve to get to meaningful content for a n00b.</div>\

I wish there was a way to just keep them "pending" in a holding pen (other than email) to see if they get more interesting. So many people on these things just want to gawk while others entertain them, so they have nothing to say or are even silent. Why follow them, then?<br><br>I think ZiggyFigaro\'s Ninja Twitter tip: don\'t follow people until you have some sayings on your own Twitter -- is a key to getting more people to follow you.<br><br>I\'d love to follow more interesting people, but where are they?

The timeline moves too quickly. This is just common sense. I have 500 followers and follow about the same. At any given moment, I am always receiving more tweets than can appear on my screen. Using groups, in TweetDeck, I have a seperate tab for the users I am really following. There\'s about 30 of them under "friends". Sure, I catch the odd tweet here and there, but miss 90% unless I\'ve marked you as being of interest.<br><br>This is an odd article with an odd sort of apologetics to spamming. I imagine you\'re writing it to explain why you\'re using autofollow and spamming techniques? I can see no other reason for this kind of spin. If you\'re following thousands of people, it\'s not showing us you want to learn, it\'s showing us that you want followbacks and that you\'re missing 99% of your tweets.</div>\

It is only negative if your \'why\' is for spam.  Because of encrypted twitter names and other variables, it is necessary to choose many to follow in order to find out more about their value in their tweets to you.  It is a way of learning who is out there in Twitter, and finding a variety of topics to discuss with new people you meet. <br><br>Because of the Twitter scrolling format of displaying the tweets, it is not reasonable to expect to keep up with everyone you either follow, or are following you, all the time.  The whole world online moves too fast, and how these types of apps help or hinder, are still relatively new on the Internet.  Also the word Spam is way overused anymore.  I think AOL always SPAMMED the universe with their stuff since the beginning of AOL, but hey, people say no not so because they paid money for it all.  Well today there are many types of communications that do not require money upfront in order to get your message out there, so people will take advantage of it.<br><br>Today SPAM is all relative anymore.</div>\

We are all worthy and just might not fulfill the politically correct platform, which is really what FREEDOM is all about in America.  In turn, I take what is said in stride, and go checkout the profiles, etc on my own terms.  I also always support the underdog that does not fit the politically correct format.<br><br>Twitter is here to post whatever you want, as long as it is within proper guidelines, as far as I\'m concerned.

Since I follow a variety of people in a variety of interest groups, I have a variety of different info presented to me all day. <br><br>On the flipside, having a lot of followers, is important too. Now I probably don\'t need 100,000, but it is nice to have quite a few. Why? What if I need an opinion or recommendation? More people = more input. What if I am trying to find info on a subject I am unfamiliar with? Again, more people = more input. And more input = more conversations = more knowledge. Plus, when you have something to say it is nice to know that at least someone heard you. <br><br>Sometimes to be able to listen, you have to be able to engage a convo. So I think both your followers and your followees are important numbers as they both enable you to be more interactive and to learn more :)</div>\
