The vast majority of what I see on twitter is trite as a result of its obvious limitations. This is great for people with nothing much to say but it doesn't do much for those that do or those that are looking for people that do. If I want trite, I'll take it via images and therefore instagram is fine by me. Truth told, I have a number of twitter accounts, probably 4 or 5 and I almost never visit them. Are you a fan?

Yeah. Its all about being able to control the content in your feed. Also, I have a more intimate following on twitter than the hundreds of people who would see my content on facebook. So there's less overhead. Everyone on twitter had to make an effort to find me and had to care to see what I post. Facebook isn't like that anymore.

^ Similar reasons why I like to share on hubski. Very intimate following, able to control the content. Great ways to view the content and interact.

Yeah, someone today asked me "what makes hubski different" and I essentially said that on Hubski, you exchange ideas often enough with the same people that you end up developing a relationship of sorts and in some instances, even a friendship. -That's pretty cool imo.
