Only follow people of quality. Trim the rest.You are responsible for
signal to noise ratio. There is a concept of trust. I use 3 strikes
and you're gone. I deem what's a strike.

Continual useless RT shit counts as a strike.

It's rather depressing reading their blogs, as they post them up there.

"If you are infected with #conficker, just go do Windows Update."

Right, secboy, how on earth are they supposed to *get* to Windows Update?

(It's almost as depressing as reading the "trend" and seeing what Twitter is really
used for: endlessly copying the same blogs, InfoWorld reports, "I've got a Mac"
jokes, and general ignorance.)
