Some have. It makes sense when special interest communities are built with it, and when the people following each other actually care about the details of the others’ lives, whether personal or professional. But the truth is there aren’t that many people whose personal details you want.

Sure, I may have “followed” the wrong people, but I basically got tired reading people’s personal trivialities in 160 characters or less, mixed with one liners from professional publication I did want to check out.

Separating personal and professional accounts is a must on Twitter, but even so, I never felt at ease with the concept. Guess that I’m like many of the French: they won’t easily try to cram a meaningful message in 160 characters or less ;-)
