Micro: spent 15 minutes on twitter after 50 days and realized why I had stopped in the first place. What a waste of time.

  2. Not sure you are following the right people then. It can be a great source of information if you have the right people on your following list.

    1. I am following a great group of people, like you :) The problem is that most of the times those 140 characters act as a teaser for the article//blog-post which is great, but if I read all those articles etc. then I have wasted half of my day, and if I don't read those articles, then what am I following those people for!? To see when they hit a pub on foursquare, or a shot of a great plate of lunch they are having?

      Having stopped going to twitter, I feel a lot comfortable doing my job. I am not wasting hours on twitter, paid for by my employer.

      Twitter needs to come up with a good algorithm to show me what tweets I really would be interested in.
