Eventually I picked it back up, once there were more accounts I found useful/interesting.
Today they have the opposite problem: too much disconnected content: my feed is filled with 100s of random, disconnected headlines, links to top 10 lists, random comments from fiends, etc.
I don't feel overwhelmed, but it's hard to _casually_ engage twitter and feel edified by the experience.
I think to win the long run, Twitter has to be more valuable than just a seemly chaotic feed of information rushing by. They have never solved this problem well. At least, not for the casual user.
If they did, I think they would see their user adoption rate increase. That doesn't solve the monetization problem alone, but it would sure would help.
Update: fixed some spelling.
