I think this is why I love Twitter, but also the reason many people don't.

Unlike Facebook, where I feel beholden to follow the people I know, Twitter is different. I can follow the thoughts of people I've never met, but greatly respect. There are tons of great designers, writers and journalists that make my Twitter feed entertaining and informative. Not everyone is interested in design or media and it can be difficult to discover accounts.

The other (previous) issue for Twitter is the feed. If you follow 1,000 people it will can be overwhelming. I was hesitant about the "You might have missed" section, but think it is a step in the right direction.

This is why I love Snapchat

I can follow the thoughts of people without having to see most or all of their thoughts. I can follow people without becoming committed to their antics.
