There have been a few times recently when I’ve found myself conscious of the fact that I rarely use Twitter these days, often coupled with resolutions to tweet more. Then today when I wanted to tweet something about a problem I was having in El Capitan I fired up the app and this is what I got:
- 1 Tweet
- A ‘Suggested apps’ panel which filled most of the screen
- The ‘While you were away…’ section with 5 tweets of dubious interest
- 2 Tweets
- The ‘Who to follow’ section with three bad suggestions
- Then my actual Twitter feed proper.
Then I realised part of the reason why I’ve moved away from Twitter.
Coincidently I stumbled on this article in the Guardian about Twitter’s woes during my lunch break. It has given me an idea though, with a drastic trim of the accounts I’m following perhaps it could become more useful and relevant again.
