John Gruber, the author of Daring Fireball and half of The Talk Show, has recently written an article titled this way “Some of the Tweets All of the Time vs. All of the Tweets Some of the Time“. It deals with the reliability of the twitter infrastructure and the fact that some (if not many) tweets have been dropped randomly in order to keep their uptime.
However, when I first read it I imagined it was about some other different thing such the usage of this service of microblogging and the infoxication most of the people suffers everyday: RSS feeds, twitter, tumblr, facebook and on… Should we get the more information the better and then filter it? Or should we cut back the source from the origin and obtain a clutterless stream of information?
I must admit I’m still trying to find the perfect balance between my RealLife(cc) and my life online. It’s hard because I try not to overwhelm myself by subscribing to tons of blogs, follow a lot of people in twitter and that stuff. Nevertheless, if I’m that categoric, I feel as if I was missing something. Maybe I should get a life, but I find quite interesting what many people write in their blogs, even we meet occasionally and I’ve made new friends since I started blogging. So, I will still try and find The Equilibrium.
By the way, how many subscriptions to blogs do you have, and how many people do you follow in twitter (in case you make use of it).
- Feed Subscriptions: ~45
- Following: ~50 people
