This is all fine and good, but apart from very very few people who meet a few colleagues this way, it seems like a giant waste of time. Negative toxicity is obvious, we know that's 'not good'. But I feel even the novel useful bits of Twitter are 'mostly rubbish'. The best Tweets are generally longer statements made by individuals, pointing to research more in the vein of 'microblog'. In fact - what I think would be useful is a non social 'microblog' where people can make posts of highly relevant information of arbitrary length. I don't think anyone other than journalists really benefit from Twitter. I think that we should pretend as if it does not exist, and anything said or done there 'does not count' in terms of anything.
