My perception of Twitter as a communication medium has changed widely over time.
First I totally dismissed it as just a tool for celebrities and young people to share banalities, which it is OK but hardly transformative.<p>Later I started to understand the very useful cases: Subject authorities making interesting quips and citing sources, real-time updates of local journalists on trending issues in an easily consumable format, a very public and expedite channel to report serious issues to government entities and so on and so forth .I became convinced and opened an account to create my lists of people to follow.It was great and still it is but somehow I have become tired for several reasons:<p>1) Sturgeon's law and not only applicable to people tweets in general but to the tweets of a particular person.Few people kept a consistent quality(this is subjective I know).<p>2)Twitter insane way to present the feed.<p>3)Lately and sadly the extremely pugnacious political battle in the US. I know everybody has the right the publish to publish what they consider interesting and important but now sometimes reading twitter I feel I have a cable subscription to 100 CNN instead of the diversity I was used to.<p>These are still interesting time to the medium, let's see how it evolves.
