Social networks are already messy. I'd stop short of calling them cesspools, however. Software makes content better. Better software makes content I don't know I want more available to me.

If something isn't interesting, or doesn't earn anyone money, people won't retweet it.

Fortunately for you, twitter is now forcing tweets into your timeline!
