@Jerry – Not at all. In fact, that highlights a gross misunderstanding of what Twitter is about. It’s not about creating or monitoring noise. It’s about connecting quickly with others and turning those into conversations and sharing.

My point in this post is that when you follow a lot of people (because you want to be connected at some level), there can be a lot of information flowing. But there is some information from some sources I don’t want to miss.

The Facebook ‘noise’ I’ve found to be just as loud though a bit easier to manage. However, saying that one should read Facebook instead of Twitter for less noise is to ignore a potentially completely different audience.

The noise level for either is dependent on how often the people you’re connected with contribute to the noise.

But of course neither is noise if it contributes. And I’ve found Twitter to have more contribution than Facebook. But I use both to connect. This shouldn’t be a Twitter vs Facebook conversation anyway. They are completely different.
