Jump Out of Your Skin

I am gradually getting social media religion.  I had over 8000 people following me and I was following over 8000 people as well.  Problem is that I only interact with about 100 of these people.  So what’s the point I ask ?  No point I answer! Stop talking to yourself!

You may shout its all about social media and it’s the big S.  Rubbish I now say.  I am going to spend the next 2-3 months reducing my follower list to a group that I actually want to talk, interact and learn from into the following groups.

• People who send interesting Tweets and / or are famous in technology.
• Various News/Technology feeds that I check for information
• People that I chat with interact with at least once a week
• The odd famous person
• People in Ireland – even if I don’t interact with them I might some day
• People who respond to the KDT (aka the Kieran Daly Test see below)

The KDT

To be fair on people I will send them a Tweet saying how are things in XXX which is their location.  If they respond then they can stay.  If they don’t then they are gone. I plan to do this to 5-6 people per day not to clutter my Twitter Timeline.

You may think this is a pile of steamy dung to approach Twitter but I will have a cleaner stream when most of these people are gone as with 8000+ followers even with groups it just screams by and it might as well note be there.
