Writing about twitter is a good way by which to explore the site in more depth, as well as how people use it. Of course people are free to use it as they please. After all that's what I've been doing for months now.

The point is simply that I like to think of it as a conversational, dynamic tool so I will use it as such, and I want people to see the reasons why simply following a lot of people may not be the best use twitter has to offer. I'm still part of the community after all all.

What I like about blogs and personalities is that you don't expect them to interact as much. You know that they know about a topic and they will share their knowledge. As a result of this whether they answer to the comments doesn't matter, That's the nature of the medium.

It goes back to McLuhan and his hot and cold media, which ones do we get a lot of information from and which ones are more passive, more conversational. If people do nothing but post to twitter, without people aknowledging anything then why drop into the site.

Being passive on twitter means that eventually people would stop using the site though.
