It's always fun to hear, and the reason I do it. I love Twitter, but recently cut back the number of people I follow to around 50. More than that and I find myself like a rat pressing a lever to get more and more food pellets every few seconds. :) Good work purging your digital world!

Like Twitter. It's been fun, but encroaches on my real life too much. I like getting interesting updates from my friends and sharing in their experiences... but those that used it as an IM service ruined it for me. Now that I'll be turning off my phone tomorrow... I won't make an effort to update all that much. But for me... I have the two blog sites and the YT account... that's it.. I turn the shit off. Like Twitter.

I was getting so discouraged that people were "Following" me for the sole purpose of racking up literally tens of thousands of people they follow. I quickly realised that they had no real interest in reading what I had to say, especially if I was amid 27,168+ other people, some of which I am sure feel the same. These people on Twitter even set goals of "Following 30,000 by Wednesday" making me feel like I was involuntarily participating in a game, and that I was nothing more to them. So I've been going through and downsizing: blocking the users who were obviously in it for the sheer numbers (who have no interest in what I have to say), with only a couple exceptions.
