And answering that question is a whole lot easier if you know and
trust the person who shared it with you.

And quality has a longer tail.

Love this -> “would I REALLY read this?”

Interesting, John. It's way too easy to tweet too fast. A few times I've started a tweet and then I've asked myself, “Do others really need to know this?” I likely should censor myself more often! While I'm typing this, I'm realizing that tweeting less frequently but tweeting something of value likely has greater impact than a constant flow of noisy tweets.

Ivan – I'm completely with you. I'm finding that my retweets are more
carefully chosen for that precise reason.

Thanks, Glenda. I've actually done a few informal measurements (with bit.ly)
and have found that the posts I let “bake” generally receive more
click-throughs.

Hi John,

The more I use twitter, the more I discriminate on the quality of material I pass downstream.

Now that I have some real followers (not the automated ones) I try to slow down and remember they have expectations + some element of trust in my judgment.

Before I pass something along, I ask myself "would I REALLY read this?"

If it does, I push it down or schedule it for later in the week, ie give me some time to re-consider and possibly pull it.

Interesting idea, particularly with Twitter. Thanks John!
