Funny, I Dont Feel All That Fatigued With Twitter

twitter water bottlesEveryone seems to be talking about New York Times reporter Jenna Wortham's piece reflecting on her "newfound fatigue" with Twitter. Basically, Wortham uses the all the Twitter discussion around Justin Bieber's arrest as a springboard for a broader argument about how the service has become less about finding useful, relevant information and more about competing for attention.As you'd expect, the piece saw its share of praise and criticism. The most common critique seems to be some variant of, "Dude, just unfollow people who are annoying" but as Wortham and others have noted, that's easier said than done, because it can be embarrassing or awkward to unfollow someone, even if you're really tired of their tweets.
