The one downside of this is that people may quickly learn that they're mostly being ignored.

I signed up on twitter and haven't been back since.

you're not alone

I signed up and could not understand what the heck was going on, so came to clipmarks and never looked back

I'm not extremely fond of Twitter either. I prefer Amplify, honestly! I just wish I knew how to search on Amplify for people so I had more amp's to read and follow.

Facebook is so diverse and a lot of companies have F logos on their site that if I wanted to follow them there, I think it would be far easier for me to do that, than try to keep up on Twitter in a language that I still haven't grasped.

What's even more disturbing is when you reply to someone and they don't respond. Twitter is not my tea of preference.
