Twitter and information overload in general

Posted in Uncategorized on May 19th, 2009 by admin – Be the first to comment

I feel that the twitter experiment is coming to an end for me. It’s not the fault of the twitter technology itself; It is the general concept that has ended up losing me. I already suffer from information overload with RSS and web comics, but with twitter I found what I was getting was general information that was pretty fleeting at best.

So it appears I will be uninstalling tweetdeck (which in and of itself was a very good program) and saying sayonara to my twitter account.

May next step may well be to start managing those other information overloaders, email and RSS.

Charles Dickens – Little Dorrit, Book Two, Chapter XIII

Economic crisis, swine flu pandemic (OK, H1N1 Influenza A), seems a perfect quote for any of these man made problems.
