I find myself bordering on the filter-don't filter view. In one respect, I like the fact that I can 'see' the human aspects of people that I choose to follow (I do not automatically follow everyone who follows me) behind their public face. That said, I do skim over the 'waiting for the train' posts as I cannot imagine why anyone would want to say this anyway, or more importantly, why they think anyone would be interested. I am also watching a growing trend by marketeers to use Twitter to simply publicise, offering a mixture of re-direction to events alongside a 'human' activity. I remain interested and active on Twitter but refuse to become addicted (have been and weaned myself off) again.

Betrays less your familiarity with formal knowledge organization, than homo sapiens' instinctual need to classify incoming information feeds according to relevance and an assessment of the response required. In my case though, I'd not filter-out the 'funny-shaped balls' stuff; I'm with Dave Snowden on that. Keep up your analysis of Twitter. I'm a recent recruit to the game, and have yet to form an opinion of its real value. Your insights will constitute a pillar of whatever my eventual judgement might be. Conrad,

I've almost decided I need two Twitter persona's. My present one (KeithUnderdown)is a mishmash of IAIDQ stuff, sponsored bike ride stuff and a certain amount of personal stuff. I did get to be on Radio Wales this morning by boiling down my cancer/cycling story into 140 characters and Tweeting the presenters, who bit. However it has generated no responses except from the production team. HI Conrad

Interesting article. I’ve almost decided I need two Twitter persona’s. My present one (KeithUnderdown)is a mishmash of IAIDQ stuff, sponsored bike ride stuff and a certain amount of personal stuff.
