(14,733 posts)Because it can cause my whole computer to creep to a halt at times. I basically mostly just followed various accounts and read what came through. I've actually done 4 tweets now, although I think for the first few weeks I didn't do any. Mostly I'm just interested in getting news I wouldn't otherwise get. I've dropped a couple of the most prolific posters I was following, not out of ideology, but simply because they were drowning me, tweeting every minute or two for hours on end, and making it hard for me to follow others. Unless there's a way to sort followed folks into multiple twitter streams that I haven't discovered yet, it seems like you'd very quickly reach the point where you couldn't follow everyone you were interested in without missing an awful lot. I'd like to be able to have a 'twitter-unions' stream, a 'twitter-professional orgs' stream, a 'twitter-activists' stream and so on. Right now they're all in one big mix.
