And yeah, I don’t get how you’re supposed to “use” Twitter either. Seems to me that, even if you read it frequently, often times you’re still only gettng half of the conversation, with all the @ replies that go around. If you want the rest of the story, you have to click in to that user’s feed, and even then, it’s hard to actually follow the conversation. Facebook’s status comments are a much better approach–in fact, it seems like even Facebook has moved away from emphasizing the wall-to-wall feature, instead focusing on the comment threads.

I have to say, I’ve had a hard time hanging in there with the Twitter. Like you I much prefer Facebook as it essentially fulfills the same role (keeping me posted about what my friends are doing) but has a greater level of depth to dive into.

However, I have used the app to link my status with my twitter feed, so I can sort of be present on both without any extra effort.

My problem with twitter is…am I supposed to just be looking at it all day long? If I only check in periodically I feel like I missed everything. But I don’t want to be watching more often than that.
