There's certainly a lot to loathe about twitter.

Funny story... I joined a few years back because that's where you could get a lot of good draft info.

But, like with everything... all that's good is destroyed by the mindless masses.

While it's become a cesspool generally speaking... yes, there is a lot of good that still out there.  There are those out there doing good works and getting the best out of it

I did a TON of culling and paring down in the last year... lol.

The problem with so many... besides those who simply aren't worth listening to at all, the vile and the hateful... is that folks can't keep but get in the way of their own message, even if at the core it's a good one.  It can be an awful medium for discourse as little of it is civil.

But, if you are patient and work your way round, over time you can find accounts you can trust to give you honest insight.  I try to stay balanced in who I choose to follow/drop.  I use it more for news than anything.  A topic springs up that interests me, I can then choose/choose not to further research it myself.  A living "front page" if you will, with all the sections (sports, politics, world, local) all at once.
