A few months ago I used to be quite active on Twitter, and even though it's not that personal, the interaction with complete strangers made me happy.
Though I stopped tweeting now. The main reason is that my brother is now keeping track of my tweets, which makes me uncomfortable somehow.
It wouldn't be that upsetting if Twitter vanished, but I'd perhaps be a tiny little bit sad. |

I've heard of Twitter but never checked it out.

I would be in pieces. can't imagine going back to regular media for everyday information. morning newspaper? f**k no. I need my daily dose of news headlines, and Twitter is just that, for me at least.

ive got to be honest here - what is the point in twitter anyway?
ive tried to like it a few times over the years but i just cant. i dont nderstand what is so interesting. you just end up with a line of nonsense from people you have never even heard of. its like a spam for all - or am i just being thick?

if you follow boring people/spammers/idiots, that's what you get on your feed.
edited to add - and looking at your website I can tell you that there are plenty of interesting twitter accounts out there that are relevant to your interests. why not follow them?

if someone starts spamming, unfollow them. twitter is not like facebook, you can unfollow people and they generally won't feel offended. I unfollow folk all the time.
block all spam bots - it's quite easy to tell if someone is a spam bot just by looking at their previous tweets.
if there are any websites you like, follow their twitter accounts. same with writers, journalists, artists, bands, scientists etc - it's like rss, but better!

^ I agree with these two ^
Besides, one time I tried to join Twitter and followed who I thought were my favorite celebrities, but it turns out that they don't use Twitter and the accounts were fake.  |
