The problem with Twitter, IMO, is that it's a fire hose. Let's say that I decide to follow John Carmack. I'm interested in his thoughts on technical topics and especially articles or posts that he may have written. Instead, I get all of that plus* the inspirational quotes he posts every morning, his political opinions, his thoughts on current events, etc. None of which I care about, and none of which (AFAIK) Twitter gives me the ability to filter.
*I don't know if John Carmack actually posts anything of the sort, just a hypothetical.
- AndrewKemendo 10y agoIs there a comparable service that has a public/private feed? I guess Facebook wall posts would be the closest, but you can't publicly follow people there.
- kalleboo 10y agoMeanwhile Facebook does filter out things it thinks you're not interested in, and it outrages people that they're missing out on something.
