I like to think of my twitter stream as being much like a party with a lot of attendees. Occasionally I'll overhear something at the party (see an @reply conversation) between two people I know and I might choose to add my thoughts to their conversation.<br><br>To each their own... but I don't see too much value in Twitter if it's only going to consist of short broadcast messages.

I consider @ posts in my Twitter stream to be nothing but noise. There is no content in them that applies to me, and they're obviously not talking to me. One of the criteria I use to follow someone is to see the proportion of information to noise. If a fourth or more of their posts are @ replies, I don't. <br><br>Perhaps it's because I think of Twitter as mini-blogging. I use it to inform and to be informed. Not to converse. Facebook is much better suited for that, and that is where my significant online conversations occur. I have to disagree with you on your Twitter advice.

I agree that one can't be all conversations, all of the time. I think everyone's tolerance level and preferences vary.. .glad to see that perhaps I interpreted your post incorrectly.

I completely agree that you should interact with other people on Twitter, but when ALL I see are drawn-out conversations, and no real content, then it dilutes the person's twitter feed (I guess I had a few specific people in mind when I wrote that, lol). I guess that's what I was trying to get across in my post. :) Hi … you make a good point on the conversation thing.
