I did qualify the irrationality of it all :)

i think you’re thinking about it too much mate.

All valid concerns if you’re really thinking about it hard… but over time, it’s the regular, informative, imaginative conversations that define you as a Champion Tweeter, not the last thing you scrawled as you ran out the door.

I say this as I desperately pack up to leave, my daughter waiting at Day Care… hopefully not the last one there. It’s far more important that I give ‘value’ to my kid in real time, than the value I may or may not provide in 140 characters. It’s easier to redeem myself to fellow tweeps tomorrow than it is to win her trust back.

Anyway, just a long winded way of saying… don’t worry, be happy. There’s bigger things in the world to put your big, inquiring mind to Jye.

As Matt said – you are not alone! I agree with all of your points.
Lately I am a little guilty of a few worthless tweets and I think I need to tighten up what I do post, but nonetheless interaction is interaction, and sometimes a few unvaluable tweets here and there is better than no tweet at all – at least it shows you’re somewhat active.

7. That visible @replies to my friends’ enemies will cause me more trouble than it’s worth!

This is where social judgement comes in. You see, it is not just about what you say, but who you converse with. That means that you don’t have to worry about individual tweets, but the value-network that you create via ongoing conversations with smart folks ;)

Think you are doing a pretty good job on that front!

Sometimes I’d do anything for a fix. Look forward to it.

You are not alone Jye. I’m developing a 12-step process for dealing with Twidction (Twitter addiction). Together, we can get through this, one worthless @ at a time.
