Twitter somehow "doesn't work". It worked in the very early days, but the filtering tools just aren't there - or rather, they're not there for the average user's capability.

It started out as "microblogging". Well, a blog is a destination. Sure, you can subscribe to it (if you have the know how, most don't). But back in the day, would you have subscribed to several hundred active blogs? Hell no.

So it's really just like being on your own bridge over a section of a very fast flowing river, and missing nearly everything. And barely even having the time to do that.
