> I couldn't ever tell someone else how to curate a set of follows which will engage them. Seems like twitter can't either. The problem is that many people think of twitter as a tool to talk to someone. In reality it is a tool to subscribe to people. Micro-blogging is a stupid word, but it is true. You get use out of twitter by treating it like an RSS client: Find feeds with content that interests you (personal things of friends, musicians, artists, game devs, people talking about political issues that interest you, activist groups, etc.) and subscribe to them. That covers the use case of the average person. If you feel ambitious you can also become a content producer, but that is of course a real investment.
