I suspect that Twitter is here to stay despite the addiction to perpetual digression and time-suck problems. User types may become classifiable and targeted by marketers and cartoonists.

I like your idea of filtering and, by implication, focus.

There are those who throw their 96″ color TVs out third floor windows to the accompaniment of various loud gutteral noises and vows never to watch again. But they are few.

Twittering for business is turning out to be work like everything else, but with the added problem of perpetual addictive digression. Those teaching or enabling focus and discipline, or providing software that increases productivity, may find a niche.

And of course, some will throw out Twitter altogether, while others will try and then taper off, and others still will relish the whole process. I suspect the majority will probably either cycle through periods of engagement and non-engagement or remain addicted, happy or not.

I agree with you, the problem with accessiblilty to everyone is the usual lack of quality control.

What was the saying about an endless amount of monkeys and an endless amount of typewriters?

Eventually one will write the complete works of shakespeare.

The problem today is we have to read all the other s**t the monkeys
twitter about!

My advice, don’t follow anyone on Twitter, you will become an ‘enigma’

I agree. I do sometimes feel chained to my laptop. It will be interesting to see if Twitter growth continues to explode the way it has.

I agree, reading Twitter conversations all day can become an addiction and take over your entire day. You may not even participate in the conversations at times, just get sucked into reading them for hours.

Well I think you should read the post of Robert Scoble about information overload: we are getting too much info in real time. So we need to develop new skills and new tools to cope with it. And each user has to define its own limits.
