Twitter: the culling
I've discovered a peculiar thing. Twitter* makes me feel more lonely than I do otherwise. I don't have 204 friends. So here are all these people I only peripherally know, with status updates about what they are doing, where they are going, who they are seeing, twitter conversations between people I don't know... Sure, I wouldn't have heard about the incredibly awesome tweenbots experiment if I weren't following a total stranger friend-of-a-friend. But that isn't enough.
So once again I say 'it's not you, it's me' and further throttle my Twitterverse participation. Anyone is welcome to follow me still, and I'll check my replies and respond, but I have to trim my follow list. Please don't take it personally.
*Facebook also has this effect on me, though to a lesser degree for some reason. I haven't decided yet if I'm going to trim my friend list there too.

way to go off grid. LOVE IT! whatever happened to real conversations over coffee or margaritas? *sigh*
more time to spend with the wee ones anyway.
Well you could follow my lead and have a twitter that is not even your own and have someone else proxy all your twitter content. :)
I've never really gotten the whole twitter your every step mindset, either as the exhibitionist posting each event nor the voyeur who follows.
In my book, it's a suitable replacement for Dodgeball and to see what the occasional person who's not within coffeemeet reach... like you :)
P.S. Derby weekend + dogs are lure coursing. Expect more pix
Made me wonder. Over lunch. Found an answer:
