I’m Terribly Tired of Twitter

I’ve been twittering for several months now and frankly, I’m bored. Here’s why:

• The importance level of the information I get via Twitter is very low. There is precious little of value there.
• The volume level is way too high - even now that I only follow those who follow me. Keeping up is hard.
• If I follow my friends’ twits constantly, it’s a constant interruption. If I don’t, it’s no fun and I lose all sense of the conversation.
• I’m not finding like-minded folks on Twitter. And those I do find don’t have much relevant content.
• Some people like to rant. BORING.
• The spammers have hit Twitter and I’m getting one to three new spammy followers per day.

In short, Twitter is a lot of work with little payoff. I’m taking a break from Twitter.

Update: I’m twittering again and would love to connect with other libertarians.
