Celebrities will only ruin your Twitter experience if you follow them. That’s the beauty of Twitter’s nature: near-total control over your experience.

I do agree that there’s a culture war brewing — the million-follower contest between CNN and Kutcher was awful, because it showed a lot of people what Twitter just isn’t about. Stepping around that is simple, though — if someone’s begging for followers, I’m far less likely to return that follow. My following M.O. hasn’t, and won’t, change: If you’re interesting and engaging, I’m in. I followed Alyssa Milano, a celebrity, the other day. Why? She’s engaging and talks knowledgeably about baseball, something I’m interested in as well.

The one area that I think most people should be concerned about, and Twitter should give significant priority to (because it appears this is how they’re positioning their core business), is trending topics and search. Twitter’s search and trends are far too susceptible to gaming. I’ve seen so many pointless hashtag memes being tossed around (#mcfly, anyone?) in the last week that I too have begun to ignore the trending topics. I really hope Twitter can fix that part. My core experience is mostly fine, still, but those trends were incredibly useful.

I think you are right. Ever since @akutcher did that CNN post the number of Spam followers I get has increased dramatically. Thanks for your suggestions. Joe Stevens’s last blog post..Daily Inspiration | Genaro DeSia Coppola

I think you brought up some great points. I believe that Twitter has been changed by all the celebrity attention, but Change is change and it is more important how we deal with change. Your suggestions were perfect for the changes I have noticed. I have several Twitter accounts I use them for different applications. So have they ruined Twitter? NO! Just changed it. Soon I will figure out how to use the changes to fit my designs or I will move on. (not going anywhere soon.) Thanks Randy J Bradley’s last blog post..Web of Humanity
