I'm doing something similar, but probably not as often as I should when I need to GTD. :) It's getting easier to follow larger numbers of people though. I've stopped scrolling back through conversations long past. Hi Connie, I sure know what you mean.

I use it kind of like my cell phone. I only turn it on at my convenience. I'm up to 600 followers and there's no way I can follow all the threads - so I just gab with those present at the moment. And turning it off is easy (it can be kind of a time sink). I’ve reduced my usage of Twitter considerably. I use it kind of like my cell phone. I only turn it on at my convenience.

As much as we all love Twitter, usage patterns, perspectives, and fads change the social media landscape as much as the fashion industry. Cheers!

In my estimation, Hugh's not looking for that right now. He loves people, but probably has quite a full dance card. My guess? He'll come back at some point, but probably not to Twitter; it'll be to some new service where we all flock in 10 months. Twitter’s a great way to have an even deeper connection with your community.

Will we see you tomorrow at SMB? I know what you mean about Hugh quitting Twitter. At the same time, I totally understand his reasoning. I've thought about a lengthy vacation from Twitter to see if it'd help me focus on blogging again. I've come to terms with the high-pressure spigot that a good Twitter feed can be, so we'll see what happens. ;) Hi Greg! Will we see you tomorrow at SMB?

Everyone has their limits, though. Something better than Twitter will surely come along and perhaps Hugh will be there. Until then, I still have 500 people to follow. :) I’m disappointed because the only reason I met Hugh at SXSW was because of Twitter (http://www.perfectporridge.com/2008/03/08/sxsw-interactive-day-1).
