When social media matters

I like twitter. I find it to be the perfect method to obtain information I want, locate the details that I care about, and weed out the voices that I find grating, irritating or otherwise irrelevant. I get what I want, and I get out. I dip my hand into the stream and pull out a flopping fish, memorize it's gill pattern and toss it back.

I don't feel any societal pressure (imagined or real) to follow classmates, previous acquaintances, business associates or immaterial indie tastemakers. The people that are the most interesting have some of the fewest followers. I always find that to be the case.
