I axed my Twitter profile, and I don't regret it. Originally I got it for professional development, but later realized that that is pretty silly, ultimately. I'm happier when staying in reality, even if I amass less Internet Points in the meantime. Nothing really happens on Twitter, people just react endlessly to things. Plus, after having a kid, I find it hard to care about dumb adult stuff like 'professional influence' on social networks. If I want to get my ideas out, writing a blog post and working on projects that further those ideas is far more influential than Twitter ranting. This is my own experience, I don't expect that it'd apply to everyone, but I found value in leaving.
