Exactly. Facebook should be for friends and people you actually know. Twitter works best if you follow people with shared interests (professional or otherwise)

- akkartik 17y agoIf you want to follow many people you can't follow people who post frequently. I think that's reasonable; surely professional tweets can be restricted to a dozen a day. If twitter makes it possible to prioritize tweets that will change. But as long as everything is time-ordered, high-frequency tweeters interfere with my ability to follow high-priority tweeters.
- onreact-com 17y agoUsing the Power Twitter FF extension you can choose your favorite friends who get an extra menu item so that you don't miss anything.
- johns 17y agoNo. If you want to follow many people you can't follow people who post frequently. I happen to be able to (TweetDeck helps a lot). It's a tooling problem, not a service problem.
- eli 17y agoIsn't it relevant that you need to use third-party tools to make Twitter usable? The concept of Twitter may live on, but I think we're all just waiting for a better implementation. Heck, they had to buy another company just to provide search for their own data!
- johns 17y agoIf you start looking at Twitter like a utility, relying on tooling makes a lot more sense.
