Some Twitter users follow thousands of people, and join in hundreds of conversations every day.
I follow just over 100 people (actually 123 – I like that number). Some of them are chatty, and others rarely post.
Even with that small number of people to follow, it’s hard to keep track of things. You can only see about 20 tweets on the front page when you log in, and that’s about all that I have the energy to read. So if something’s moved off the front page before I log in, it’s unlikely that I’ll ever see it.
A while ago I downloaded TweetDeck, and have been using it to read and post things in Twitter. You can create groups, so it’s easy to follow the people you’re most interested in, and skim through the other posts.
I highly recommend it. And no, this isn’t a snapshot of my TweetDeck. It’s from the download site.
