I walked the walk and decided that twitter was adding a lot of noise that was not of any benefit to me. The twitter updates I got tended to be unrelated private comments to other people than myself using the @personname convention. Frankly - if it's got nothing to do with me - why should I care about reading 1/2 of a conversation that is really just between two other people. My best comparison is that it's like being at a party and listening to everyone in the room have a discussion with someone else on a cell phone, or watching 1/2 of an instant messaging or texting session. Just not useful or relevant.
