“Twitter is rubbish, there is nothing but people telling me stupid things about what they are up to. What do I care?”
This is pretty much what I hear from typical Twitter sceptics ..
“It’s your own fault” I tell them – they hate that!
“You are the one who chose who to follow and if you don’t like what someone is saying just unfollow them ..”
Just like a radio if you don’t like what is playing then change the channel.
On twitter you can even arrange who you are following into distinct lists (channels) and depending on what you are doing, you may decide to just look at the twitter feed from a specific list. Using the powerful search function you may even create a special channel for people who are tweeting about a specific topic or using a keyword in their tweets.
Twitter..it’s just like a radio except you are the producer and you decide what gets played!
