The Twits
I had clearly stated on my feed page that I was no longer using the service and had only ever made 3 or 4 posts on it over a period of six months. But I still got email notifications from Twitter every week informing me that another random person twit had subscribed to my Twitter feed.
For me, Twitter is a solution in search of a problem.
Twitter is not productive. The signal to noise ration is way too high. Using it in a controlled environment (or locking off your account so that only certain people to send you updates) I can start to see its usefulness, like in applications similar to In/Out at 37signals. But there are too many people out there using this microblog system to diarize every microscopic detail of their lives whilst constantly in search of someone who cares.
I don’t care what you had for lunch today. I’m out.
