Cleaning out twitter

Created by Jeremy Hunsinger (Virginia Tech) on February 19, 2009

Today I cleaned out twitter of around 90% of the people that I was following but weren't following me. It struck me that I had been exchanging twitter chat with most of these people, trying to do some good, help in my own way, but they weren't doing that in return. That seems a bit odd. Granted perhaps it is because i use my nickname (buridan) instead of my full name, and i don't provide much information about myself on twitter. Perhaps I made them wary, but still, doesn't take much to recognize me since my blog address is there.

In any case, twitter is an interesting beast and it can absorb too much time, so I have a feeling that just following people who follow me will be better for everyone involved Feel free to follow me, I'll likely follow you.
