    Even if 90% of you are bored by them maybe I get 50% of my Twitter utility from them so that's what matters.

        @avantgame 100% agree, social media is never for those that listen, it is a voice, a way to express yourself

        @avantgame I'm always amused by people that think everyone else is on Twitter just to provide them specifically with content.

        @avantgame People who complain about how you tweet deserve to get blocked. They are really complaining about their own choice to follow you.

        @avantgame For me, Twitter is an extension of my real-life convos/interests/friendships. You're doing it right.
