Why Your Twitter Timeline Sucks
Many people I know left Twitter because their timelines had to little relevant information or interesting stuff. If it’s your case I have one advice: You’re following the wrong people.
Don’t be too hard on yourself, I have done this too, but recently I learned and fixed my mistakes. Social networks where made to connect with people, but not necessarily the ones you know in real life.
Each social network has a focus. For instance, in Facebook I only use to connect with people I know or consider friends somehow. Linkedin to connect with business contacts. And Twitter to follow people and sites that I find interesting and can bring something useful to my personal growth.
When I realized it and cleaned my following list, my Twitter became much more interesting e it’s the reason I like App.net very much. Being a closed social network very few people I know in real life are in it, and that’s the reason I can focus on things I like and bring me knowledge.
If you’re getting trouble with your social networks, maybe it’s time to re-evaluate your “virtual friendships” in each one of them. Try it and then tell me if it was beneficial or not.
