twitter no more
June 29, 2007 – 2:21 pmI never really got into twitter. And still don’t understand the mania behind it. I suspect twitter wasn’t interesting for me because the people I want to keep in touch with most use services like Facebook (which has similar functionality built-in). Maybe I just needed more twitter‘ing friends.
This is not to say the twitter service isn’t worth checking out, it’s just not for me. Today, I permanently deleted my twitter account:
PS: It’s very important to provide users with a self-service “delete account” feature.
UPDATE: Yes, I am on the Twitter-train again…by choice

If you do not understand the how incredable twitter is then you simply not following the right people. Twitter is a blank slate that you can fill with whatever content you like, just like an RSS, as programmers say, garbage in, garbage out. The ‘right’ people for me are people that can inspire me, that I can learn from, that are interested in similar memes, and want to share ideas, and i’ve never found any network that does that so well.
The most important thing you can do to ‘tune’ your twitter experience is be selective over who you follow.
