As we were pondering this question -- and for the record, we love Twitter now as it is a great source of ideas and leads (thank goodness for TweetDeck) -- the answer appeared:
Too many Tweets occurs when too many people are Twittering rather than engaging in work, real conversation, spending time in thought without distraction, or simply doing nothing at all, resulting in Twitter collapsing under the weight like so much fence between gossiping neighbors who have leaned on it one too many times.

Wow-- that was a great Tweet. And a great post to follow!
ReplyDeleteI was feeling Twitter fatigue today when I felt like I couldn't keep up reading my feed without being on it so much that I wasn't accomplishing anything productive. I decided to "un-follow" some folks that just regurgitate press releases and let me know that they've updated their blog (isn't that what RSS is for?). It's clogging my feed and clogs my head as well. Time to quiet down and focus on real work.
