  • the volume of material that Twitter unleashes now puts impossible demands on its users' time and attention. The problem, in a nutshell, is information overload. The more Twitter grows and the more feeds Twitterers follow, the harder it gets to mine it for what is truly useful and engaging.
  • The small number of people clicking on that link seemed to me an early sign that we've reached a point of Twitter saturation, in which the result of more people following more feeds adds up not to more communication but more noise.
