Unlike much of what some others *cough*Scoble*cough* *cough*Calacanis*cough*. If you're going to use Twitter to market your thing, great, but don't spam us 1400 times a day. I was getting annoyed with Kevin Rose's "I'm streaming video right now!" every 2 minutes the other day. You gotta follow Cam, he has a lot of interesting things to say.

I like to see the chatter that's between one person I know (follow) and one I don't. Turning that off would make Twitter much less interesting to me. I guess it's just something about the pattern of those things - if there are tons of them at once and they fill a few screens, then I don't want them. I'll turn Cameron back on I guess and ignore his purple patches. With Scobleizer and guykawasaki it feels more like a constant stream of flow-of-consciousness twitters that for me at least aren't of much interest. Hi again Lulu

And hi Cameron. I'm actually interested in some of the subjects you were commenting on when I unfollowed you, so it's somewhat ironic that I turned you off. It's a change from some other high-frequency twitter stuff which really is just hot air. I'll see if I can follow Lulu's advice and whether that helps. Hi Lulu – thanks for the tip, I’ll try that.

But then again, I guess unfollowing someone (like me) who twits too much for your tastes is probably the cleanest solution. In my defense though, I usually only turn twitter on once or twice a day, and usually have a bunch of people to reply to in one hit. The other 23 hours of the day you won't hear much from me at all. :-) yeah I agree with you on this, that would be a good feature.

Shouldn't there be a twitter adaptation that stuffs the tweets of overkill twitterers into one or two entries? I.e., instead of 45 cameronreilly tweets in a row, we could both have seen cameronreilly (45). It would also help to treat all @xxx messages as direct messages. that’s funny because I just stopped following cameronreilly today, too, for the same reason.
