A while ago, someone posted a list with twittering LWers, and I started following them all, but now I've mostly unfollowed them again. Not because I don't like them, but because I don't like them on Twitter. I would have to follow not just them, but all the people they follow as well, to understand what they're saying, and then I wouldn't have time to do anything else with my day. I don't think Twitter is a good medium for ongoing discussions.

I don't understand the leap from following the followers of the people you follow to not having any time to do anything else. Then again, I have an abnormal amount of free time, and I spend a lot of it on Twitter. I don't know how I would feel if I had markedly less free time, but still wanted to participate.

Well, of course I'm exaggerating. But following not only those LWers, but the people they follow, would cost more time than I am willing to spend.
