It’s been a while since I’ve been on Twitter. I find it hard to genuinely “follow” and interact with those in my timeline after the count crosses a couple of hundreds. To differentiate my timelines from  professional and personal, I had created another account totaling to 3 (used to maintain the official product account) . The third account sounded the death knell.

However Twitter is a cool way to connect and interact, I am back albeit a few set rules.

1] Twitter is a firehose of a firehose . To make it work now, I’ve trimmed my timeline by about 150.

2] Many use twitter as a group chat tool. To not (hopefully) miss their one-off good tweets, the list feature should come handy.

3] After playing around with all the available clients, I have zeroed on Opera Portal. The Twitter app has a cool feature to ‘Snooze’ someone trying to hack their way into otherstimelines.
