this is one reason i follow comparatively few people; it's just not sustainable, if you want to keep track of the people that matter to you. problem is that this causes you some issues when people get upset you're not following them.

Apple’s Management Obsessed With Secrecy - NYTimes.com

"Apple’s decision to severely limit communication with the news media, shareholders and the public is at odds with the approach taken by many other companies, which are embracing online outlets like blogs and Twitter and generally trying to be more open with shareholders and more responsive to customers."

Twitter: The hottest Web startup - Aug. 6, 2008

poor Twitter. when it's not being slagged for its poor uptime, it's being knocked for its lack of a business plan. which is fair, given recent history. but how many would have used it - or even realized that they might - if it's gates weren't wide open from Day One? i wouldn't have. Twitter stands a much better chance of realizing revenue, IMO, now that it's addicted so many users than it did before. it's like crack that way.

Twitter Blog: It's Not Rocket Science, But It's Our Work
