I follow 150+ people. However, when push comes to shove, I’m willing to admit I don’t read half of what you guys write. I’ll wake up in the morning, and one of the first things I do is check twitter. However, rather than catch up on everything that happened through the night, I’ll skip to maybe the last hour to half hour’s worth of tweets, and check the profiles of people who’s tweets I really want to see. My mentions are looked at last, as they’re the ones I KNOW I’ll take the time to reply to.

This isn’t to say I don’t appreciate what everyone has to say, or that I find you boring. It’s just that I really don’t feel I have the time to invest in reading hundreds upon hundreds of tweets, most of which would consist of witty observations, or links to the latest news. I do enjoy reading them, but going through just an hour or two worth of tweets takes up too long in my opinion. When we think of Twitter we think of a community joined by short concise messages. But all those short concise messages combined result one BIG mass of text. If you follow more than 100 active people, chances are you have an awful lot of reading to do.

This is basically me asking you, do you read all or most of the tweets you get in your timeline? How long do you dedicate to reading them? I’m interested.
