- Sometimes I'm stymied by the obsession with who's following who. I absolutely Love twitter, I value it for the way it allows me to connect with people all over the world, for the vast amount of information I find there, from links to breaking news, and just because its plain old fun... but twitter is not the real world. While I do have significant relationships with a lot of the people I follow, a huge number of my twiends are people I don't really know at all, not in any truly meaningful sense. Controlled comments of a 140 characters or less do not an authentic relationship make. To choose to follow or unfollow someone is often more like choosing teams for a fifth grade kickball team than a relevant commentary on the value of a person's friendship.
