What I like about Twitter above other social networks is that it's actually pretty easy to self-moderate. Only follow who you want to follow. Are they retweeting too much garbage into your timeline? Turn off retweets for that person. See an ad you don't want to ever see again? Block the advertising Twitter account. You can go even further in your curation through the use of lists. I feel like the people who complain about how awful Twitter is are telling me about the company they choose to keep. I know that's not the reality of the situation, but Twitter really can be what you make of it. Just because you're friends with someone doesn't mean you have to follow them on Twitter.
