You're not getting every little detail of our lives. You're getting little GATHERING reports.

There's a fine line to walk on Twitter between being too bland and corporate (just keeping it to books and authors) and being too personal. If you're too much the former you won't pick up new followers because people don't like to see sites just pushing their own posts. And I would argue - on the basis of seeing what a lot of bloggers and other sites post - that we are nowhere near the too-personal end of things.
We're using Twitter as one way of bringing in new members, and it has in fact brought a lot more traffic to the site. Whether that's turned into new members is harder to say.
And, for your information, since making those tweets we've picked up five more followers.
Frankly, I'm tired of people whining about things when we try new ways to get more traffic and life into the site. Most people keep their negativity to themselves. We don't expect everyone to enjoy the Twitter function, but how about you stop whining every time there's something in it that doesn't appeal to you? The point about disabling the Tweet box has been made before.

I love you guys, but I'm phenomenally uninterested in the status of your bartabs.

So, there are occasions of other subjects in which you are interested in the tweet box? *NM*

Sanderson tweeting about being nearly done with being nearly done with WoT was good.

Not really. But the self-absorbed vapidity of some really aggravates me. *NM*

I don't notice them 85% of the time, so they don't bother me. *NM*

Web 2.0 is a vapid scam, and Twitter's existence is contrary to a discussion forum. *NM*

You kidding? Behind the scenes, yeah, probably, but RAFO's style is like Web 0.5. *NM*

I'm just not interested in every detail of your lives. NSSP tags and Journals exist for a reason.

I have seen the question a few times. What I don't recall seeing is an answer.

I'd agree if it was twelve tweets or if they started commenting Rugby from the pub via Twitter
