It&#x27;s preposterous for him to prescribe how others <i>should</i> use twitter. Besides, I don&#x27;t read each and every email I get either.<p>The thing is I do not trust an algorithm (or popularity) to accurately tag what an &quot;important&quot; tweet is to me. So I tend to follow single-purpose accounts with high signal to noise ratio - if I follow you for your insights in algorithms; serial-tweeting your cat pics will get lead me to unfollow you. I know I miss out on a lot of C.Sci wisdom from people who tweet prodigiously, which is a shame<p>I wish twitter had user-defined &#x27;channels&#x27; like @user&#x2F;cuda and @user&#x2F;cats so I can selectively follow a specific channel that interests me...
