Agreed re: Twitter. It takes discipline though to unfollow people
sharing pictures of their lunch (if you want to share your lunch or
fancy cocktail with me then invite me out for lunch or cocktails!), or
who are attempting to whip up outrage (I don't have the energy to be
constantly outraged). I try to curate a good group of colleagues who add
editorial value.
