Agreed on this part. > I look at twitter as an extended IM. I've got it to update my Fb status and > my friendfeed, so I reach out to a large group of people.

I never thought of Flickr as a blogging medium but I have seen a lot of people use it that way :) Many photos are more interesting when you know the context. > As for SNR, like Balaji, I cull my followers list once in a while, cutting > out those who are either uninteresting or extremely interesting.

For example guy kawasaki generally posts some good links but also a lot of crap about alltop (which is a glorified RSS reader) I couldn't care less about. I find that there are no good filtering mechanisms (having used twitterfox/tweetdeck) for that. It maybe that my use-case is not suited for twitter and or I haven't found a good client yet. -- Vinayak
