Twitter Me…Twitter Me

The more I Tweet, the Twittier I feel.

In reviewing the tweets of some of those whom I was formerly following, I discovered a vast dissimilarity in the topics being discussed or tweeted about. That seems inconsistent with the intent of the whole exercise, in my limited ability to comprehend such esoteric matters.

Seems to me, dontcha know, that the entire thing is devoted to the idea of aggregating thinkers of like interests, to the mutual benefit of all involved. Rather, I'm getting followed by numerous individuals who, for the lack of a better term, stultify.

Problem is, I found myself getting sucked into the morass, and following THEM just because they followed me first. Now THERE's an interesting conundrum, wouldn't you say?

If you start following me, and I start following you BECAUSE you started following me, where do we wind up?

For the life of me, I keep coming up with a circle. God only knows where THAT is gonna go.

So, as a contribution to the loftier intent of the creators (the original Twits, that is), I have culled approximately one third of the Twitterers I was formerly following, and now only follow those whose interests and experiences somewhat mirror my own…at least superficially.

Does this mean I'm mean? Peculiar? Picky and ornery?

Who'd a thunk it?
