Totally agree. There is so much vanity & too much noise.
Also, it's very difficult to have an interesting conversation.
It's better to follow interesting people using a reader (i prefer Google Reader)

Incidentally, @newsycombinator on twitter has been one of my favorites, due to the steady stream of interesting links :-)
But then you've thrown out the voting and the comments, which is the whole reason I come to news.ycombinator.com.
Did this article get 100 points or 10? Does it have 50 comments or 5? Time is precious. I need context!
No, if it's interesting enough (which is most of the time), I'll actually visit the site again. But you're right, I do wish it linked to HN first instead of sending me directly to the article.
