followers

Alex Leonard - Mar 0, 2009 I think the time sensitive point is a very valid one. Mico-blogs, whether twitter or Jaiku etc do not exactly lend themselves to ‘catching up’ and nor would you really want to, being that so much is relative to a particular moment in time. You know me. I would rather read your blog and participate there, where it’s not time sensitive rather than on twitter where people don’t seem to have the time anymore.

As you know I’ve been working on unfollowing more and more people over the past few weeks because I felt I was missing the tweets by those who want to participate actively with me. The consequence is that I’ve found twitter to be more sociable once more. According to a recent article what I felt was the case has been demonstrated through research. the number of total posts eventually saturates as a function of the number of followers.
