Do you really read them all? Ha! No. Not even remotely. Neither do I read every HN comment or every HN post. I don't drink the river. I dip in a cup occasionally. I do read anything that's directed at me as an individual. I have a couple of twitter lists that friends are on that I pay a little bit more attention to (twitter lists are ways of grouping people in twitter - think Google Circles with an even worse UX ;-). I have a computationally generated twitter list of folk I've 'talked' to recently (via http://conversationlist.com/ http://conversationlist.com/). I have a couple of topic-specific lists I glance a weather eye over every day or so to see if anything interesting pops up. Otherwise it's just serendipitous access when I feel the need for brain popcorn. For example earlier this evening I came across http://www.linuxpromagazine.com/Online/Blogs/Off-the-Beat-Bruce-Byfield-s-Blog/Reactions-to-women-speakers/ http://www.linuxpromagazine.com/Online/Blogs/Off-the-Beat-Br... via a retweet from somebody I follow. Which interested me. If I go look now at 23:42..... and by 23:43 I'm reading about Papa Mau - robot that holds the world record for distance traveled by an autonomous vehicle on land or in the sea http://www.fastcoexist.com/1681003/this-surfboard-sized-robot-just-propelled-itself-across-the-ocean http://www.fastcoexist.com/1681003/this-surfboard-sized-robo... via this tweet https://twitter.com/DanAsadorian/status/276360715865038849 https://twitter.com/DanAsadorian/status/276360715865038849 retweeted by somebody I follow. I do not sit on twitter 24/7 reading every tweet that rolls past. That way lies madness (for the way I use twitter anyway ;-)
