So you are on twitter for a while. Like me… You are enthusiastic about it. There are thousands and millions of people, sharing on what they call now the statusphere. You meet new people, you find those you already know. You find great ideas, funny sites, new insights.

One day you look up and see that the number of people you are following is so high that the number of tweets they send out is much much higher than you can keep up with it. Because you have followed back most people that follow you. You followed every person who wrote something you like. When you look at the tweets, you have no idea what they are talking about. Much worse, you don’t know who they are.

So you decide to unfollow those people, and they start to unfollow you. Is this a game? Is this a MMORPG where you come together with people to form clans and kill monsters?

I am sure twitter will (or already has) become something that we take for granted. But how will we use it? @scobleizer says that he follows everyone because he says he wants everybody to be able to send a direct message to him. While others (including me) say that you can’t follow even 100 average speed twits. So what do we do? Do we follow everyone, bi-directionally? Do we follow only those that matter to us?

What I think is that this will come to a hybrid solution as everything else. We will use a tool, something like TweetDeck, to filter out the noise while keeping the communication channels open. I am quite surprised to see that TweetDeck is available today, to keep you sane.

What do you think?
