Twitter is cable tv for me. I get some national news, a lot of stuff I don't like and a little that I do from about 100 sources. I don't think I'll mind ads.

- irons 15y agoI love twitter, but if that's all I was getting from it, I wouldn't use it if they paid me. Why do you bother following sources who show you a lot of stuff you don't like?
- jshen 15y agoI don't know about the op, but I'm in a similar boat. Here's why I do it. 1) I don't know of any source that likes exactly the same things as I do. Think venn diagrams. 2) It's very easy to skim over the things that aren't interesting. I usually see tweets through flipboard and it's like a magazine. I scan for interesting things, and skip most of it. This is the only way I know how to get the variety I want. I've thought about writing a statistical classifier to filter out a lot of it. I should get off my ass and do that.
- slouch 15y agoI agree.
- revorad 15y agoBecause no one tweets pearls of wisdom all the time. Regardless of who you follow, most tweets are noise. That's what twitter means.
