I've mentioned this before, but Twitter is what you make of it—your experience is entirely dictated by who you choose to follow.
If you want to have a good experience on Twitter, here are my suggestions:
- Keep the number of people you follow under 1,000. I follow about 600. Any more than 1,000 and it starts to become information overload.
- Keep the quality of the people you follow exceptionally high. Look through their recent Tweets and see if they post content you're interested in before following.
- Unfollow accounts that add to the noise. Don't want to see every TechCrunch article? Unfollow them. One thing I've discovered is that individual journalists are much more interesting than following publications wholesale.
- coldpie 11y agoHoly crow, 1000? I follow about 40 :)
- zimpenfish 11y ago200 here but I'd guess at least 50 of those are dormant these days. Even with that, it's still quite spammy some days.
- throwaway049 11y agoI follow about 4, but I heavily use hashtag searches for real time information. I started using it during the 2011 riots in London to see how my commute was being affected.
- csixty4 11y agoI follow about 1200 but the number of accounts that are still active are probably around 100. Lots of failed startups and joke accounts in there.
