I recommend using Twitter's search if you want to find tweets on a particular topic. If someone posts several worthwhile tweets, you can follow them. Over time, you'll start getting retweets of good content. You can follow those people. Use Tweetdeck and create lists by topic. The most important thing is to take your time.
There's no way I'd let Twitter tell me which tweets I should see. You're going to end up with people that promote themselves and their friends, and that promotion gets annoying in a hurry - if I wanted that I'd watch QVC.
I mostly try to avoid accounts with more than 100K followers. A lot of them post information of questionable accuracy because that's how you generate interest in your account. Moreover, they aren't likely to interact unless you're in their inner circle, which makes for a boring experience.
- BlueGh0st 5y agoI think the problem for a lot of people is that on Twitter you're not subscribing to information/topic streams but to personalities. I follow almost only information security accounts but I'm still subjected to authors' extreme politics, conspiracy theories, and rants touting their personal morality clogging up my feeds. I think that it's Twitter as a medium that is a flawed method of communication. Also it doesn't help that the only method of self-categorization (hashtags) penalizes the author by further reducing the limited character count.
