Right because before I had to keep random acquaintances as friends and read their updates in order not to hurt their feelings, now I have to fly to random places in order not to hurt peoples feelings. Can't wait.
- thaumaturgy 16y agoI had a business acquaintance get her feelings hurt because I didn't follow her back when she followed me on Twitter. I looked at her feed and she literally had tweeted about her breakfast that morning. I quit Twitter instead so that I wouldn't have to hurt anyone's feelings anymore.
- aerique 16y agoWhat about just not caring whether you hurt someone's trivial feelings? That is becoming an important feeling in this ever-connected world.
- aerique 16y agoUgh, that should have said "important skill". Too late to edit now.
- thaumaturgy 16y agoI wasn't getting much value out of Twitter anyway (not a judgement on Twitter's value, just on what I was getting out of it), and my business depends a lot on maintaining healthy relationships with lots of people, since we grow primarily by referral. It just made sense to drop Twitter altogether and tell people instead that I don't use it.
- aerique 16y agoSounds reasonable :-)
- maayank 16y agoI don't think that's a problem for everyone (I aim for linkedin/facebook separation for these reasons)... Nevertheless, you could filter by the "hide this post from" list, weights of friendship (amount of likes, views, etc.) and other statistics... Of course, this is only viable if you have friends/family all around the place, not just in your locality (definitely not for everyone). Still, seems like a nice advertising focus trick.
