Twitter is big and I personally don't have that problem. So I'd guess that this is more of an issue related to the people you follow instead of Twitter itself.

Unfortunately Twitter can't know which content you'll like so there is some work required to build up a feed that continuously delivers this content.

This seems to be one of the major issues when it comes to joining Twitter nowadays too.

>>> PS: Title feels very "sensational"...

They all seem so sensational. The TLDR version of this post is "I don't like Twitter so much anymore so it's kind of dead to me"

wc has that at 62 chars. Enough for a Tweet :)

My problem with twitter isn't the content[1], but the tools to let me read what I want. Since twitter changed its policy on client software, it has become more and more painful to organize my twitter feed. I am starting to wonder if I should just spend a weekend an write my own custom client.

1) why follow stuff you don't want?!?

Simple solution: Don't follow accounts that tweet content you don't like.

Twitter's great for following friends or people I respect in that it helps me feel a bit more connected to them. If you just want a list of most recently added content to a site like Huffington Post: Maybe consider using an RSS reader.

You definitely follow different people from me. What I mostly see are links to interesting projects and gigantic social issues flamewars triggered by people overanalyzing each other's casual insights. For the former, it remains more than worth it.

Shouldn't this link straight to the Obsessed With Conformity domain and not that "iframed" CentUp site?

Also, pretty pointless article. So... don't follow accounts that post stuff you don't want to see.

Sounds like you need to fire the person who curates your Twitter feed.
