[1] Martin Weller has interesting discussion on use or misuse of Twitter, found via [2] Stephen Downes yesterday - about such things as - someone has 1,000 followers and only follows 30 is that misuse ? Some other talk of rules ?
Rules !!! Twitter !!! ok, bye then - time to find something else to do with 140 characters! I follow people I know, who have supplied a link in their profile and I liked their website/blog, random people who have made me laugh or I go to the public timeline from time to time and pick randomly. Sometimes I might only follow people for a day or a week (or even an hour if they provide 16 billion updates over that hour). One of the people following me is following around 28,000 - I’m guessing advertising / PR - so what and why not - who cares !
