I’m using Twitter now a little more than 1 year (exactly 459 days, if my stats are correct), I’m about to send the 1400 tweet out, as of right now, I have 70 followers and am following 34 people. But what’s it about twitter? My view, why so many people are using Twitter and my way of using Twitter.
Like I already wrote in my last Tuesday Post, I recently cut back on Twitter usage. I unfollowed many people and now read every tweet which arrives in my twitter Inbox also called my timeline. But why are so many people following way to many people? Just for the big numbers of followers? I don not think that Twitter is just about followers! As you may see if you visit my Twitter account, I’m just following 34 people. And I read all of their tweets! That as a result meant for me to unfollow some big twitterers, some not so big. In the end it came down to this 34 I’m following right now. That number is constantly changing, it may be 33 tomorrow or 35 who knows? The thing is who I’m following.
The last time I scanned though the people I follow to find out whom I may unfollow was when I was about to get more stress at school plus the fact that I switched the Twitter Client—I’m now using Tweeti. But how did I decided whom to unfollow? For me I decided to unfollow big accounts which were posting a huge load of tweets per day. For Example @garyvee or @kevinrose. These are just two and I have to admit that these are two who are very interesting persons from around the web but for me they didn’t provide relevant content in their tweets. Gary Vaynerchuck (alias @garyvee) posts much more relevant video posts at his website garyvaynerchuk.com and Kevin Rose does the weekly Diggnation which is also very informative and worth watching. Even though they have several thousand followers and post many times a day, I continued to not read their tweets and just overlooked them.
I needed to get rid of this tweets which I never read. I needed to lower the amount of time which I needed to skim through my timeline for more relevant stuff, like learning for school especially in the last weeks before my final exams! Just like my RSS Reader needed to be cleaned up. But who is worth following is Twitter even worth using? In the end it came down that Twitter definitely is worth using! But it needs to get used wisely. I’m just following people who are interesting for me, who post relevant tweets and are personal at their twitter profiles. And I really don’t like it if a person posts to many times per day cause I just do not have the time to read all that stuff!
In my eyes Twitter is not about the number of followers nor about how many people I’m following. It’s about whom to follow and what to tweet!
Quick Note About this Post
Even though, I was about to publish this post, reread it and checked the links. You may notice that I’m again following @kevinrose. The reason for that is simple. I checked the link, read the last tweets and noticed that they are more interesting than I thought last time I deleted him from my followers list. Let’s see if he’s worth following.
