No twitter

May 11, 2010 08:33

In an ongoing effort to reduce the amount of information I consume on a daily basis, I have explicitly chosen not to follow twitter, and in general, not to read facebook wall posts. I certainly still read and respond to emails, direct messages, phone calls, etc. I would like to still read livejournal. As a result, if you're posting your twitter feed to livejournal, I won't be reading your journal anymore. I still care a great deal about what you write here, and if you stop posting twitter to livejournal, then I'd be happy to read it. It isn't any offense, but I don't believe that the 140 character microblogging has the type of information profile that I want to include in my daily life.

I encourage you all to be careful with words, and to use them effectively and powerfully, to improve your life and the lives of others. If you believe you are doing this, excellent. Keep it up. Each of us has to choose what information we receive, and I personally have reached my limit on surface details and life trivia.

I love you all very much, but I can't live all of your lives in addition to my own.

information, twitter
