I think an excellent way to overcome most all the problems mentioned here would be to have a simple “filter” application that You could apply to each person You are following.
For example: @applestories tweets a huge stream of posts about all things apple computing, many with highly useful links to technical info. The problem is that I am really only interested in their posts about iPhone. Reading through all their posts to find iPhone posts IS a huge waste of time and distracts from other individual tweets. Likewise a friend may post neighborhood info I want to see but if they start posting everything they eat I’d have to remove them fast! Why can’t we filter out the “diet” posts and keep the rest? I’m sure there must be some software or an application that can do this so if any of You knows which ones work well please post a link to it here as a reply.
Thanks!

Thanks Leo, excellent post. I think I’m one of the few who has never really got Twitter. I’ve toyed with the idea of signing up for an account but have always seen Twitter as just another distraction. However, your article has lent a whole new perspective to its many applications.

I’m off now to sign up and stick a toe in my own twiver (that’s a twitter river).

I also gave Twitter a try but even after reading your tips – Twitter let me think very much about all the “frameworks” known from software development realm. You can do everything and nothing with it. If I want to hire somebody, would be Twitter the right place? If I want to follow someone’s opinions – would I then look at Twitter or rather read the rss of his blog?
