I decided NOT to put a feed of my twitter activity. The way I see I did it was I first figured out my ideal scenario (the user signs up or does a demo or something) and highlight the most. Then I add some info and other stuff that all focuses the user on doing what I want them to do.
The second biggest link is the "learn more" or "see how it works" (or whatever you want them to do next) link.
I am including (small) twitter and fb links but NOT a feed of activity. The primary purpose of running my twitter and fb account is to draw activity TO my site, so why would I want to send someone away if they actually make it to my site in the first place? I do realize that some people may opt not to signup, but want to stay informed, so that's why I'm including the links at all.
Basically, focus on directing the user where YOU want them to go. If they don't want to do that, what do you want them to do instead? And if they don't want them to do that, what do you want them to do instead?
I think we're so heavily ingrained with the idea that we have to include lots of "stuff" on the homepage (like twitter feeds, etc) that we forget what we're even trying to do.
