I'm trying to cultivate it into primarily UX/IX stuff and learning tech. The problem is that some of the obligatory co-worker follows drive me nuts and simply add clutter and noise. I believe there's a value nugget there, but it's a lot of work. I hear you. I’m trying to cultivate it into primarily UX/IX stuff and learning tech.

The rest is links that could be shared via delicious.com, or stuff that should be in IM, email, or blog posts... maybe I’m just being difficult, but I find about 90% of twitter is shout-outs and misunderstandings.

It's nice to be liberated from the 140 character limit. Although there is certainly a great deal of noise in twitter, I also find that it is a great place to be social. Blogs are great for creating indirect connections and conversations, but twitter is where I go when I want to contact someone directly. I'll be sure to subscribe to your asides. Sometimes the stuff that passes fleetingly through your mind are what I'm most interested in reading. I enjoy your asides and, following your example, set them up on my blog as well.
