I Finally Caved: I’m On Twitter
Posted by Davy Brion on July 15th, 2010
Ok… i know what i said before. And i don’t know yet whether i was right or wrong. But it is starting to feel like i’m missing out on some good conversations due to not being on twitter so i figured “what the hell, i’m gonna give it a shot”. So i’ve created an account (@davybrion) and i’m just gonna see how it goes. If i like it, i’ll keep using it and i’ll gladly state that i was wrong about the whole thing. If i don’t like it, i’ll get rid of the account and i’ll let you know why 
. But however it’s gonna turn out to be, at least this time it’ll be an informed decision.
So… any tips from you twitter addicts on how to keep the signal-to-noise ratio down and how to make the whole experience as valuable as possible?

Unfollow liberally. If someone is noise, just unfollow.
Or if you want to occasionally check in on people, relegate them to a list (lists don’t show up in your main timeline and you don’t have to follow someone to put them on a list).

I find using lists helps. And as someone said above, unfollow liberally.
I check Twitter periodically throughout the day and accept that some things will inevitably get lost. Some days are more flood-like than others.
