> Once I'm done scrolling through the content I'm done. I don't miss things.

Twitter wants you to feel like you are never done and that you are missing things.

That's how I feel twitter operates now though. If you don't keep scrolling until you reached something stale you'll miss something. Start following a handful of power users and you'll start taking twitter breaks like smoke breaks.

Indeed. Once you go past certain amount of followed you end up inventing some rules for new ones. Like not too many tweets per day, especially if there's more RTs than OC.

Twitter is like a garden with weeds. Constant need of pruning. Facebook just hides most that you don't commit to every now and then. Twitter has also a bit too much automation and anonymity. But some of the parody accounts are gems.
