		<description>Thank you Isabella. You were one of those people I was referring to in my post, because I really enjoy that we tweet back and forth. Same with Nancy, same with lots of my other friends. The conversation is back and forth, not unilateral :) That&#039;s what makes Twitter... priceless!

Hope you&#039;re having a wonderful week!</description>

		<description>well, raul, i&#039;m delighted to follow you, and grateful for our little tweets back and forth.

i don&#039;t know if i&#039;ve ever been un-followed - i must have, since i&#039;ve been on twitter for over a year, and sometimes i tweet quite a bit, as you know.  i also have quite a few people who follow me out of the blue - but honestly, when i look at their (often non-existing) bio and (often non-existing) web site/blog and i don&#039;t find what they have to say interesting, i don&#039;t follow them.  i find it hard enough to at least try to keep up with what people are tweeting who i am really interested in.  maybe i&#039;m a slow reader?</description>

		<description>Nancy,

I&#039;ve been unfollowed by people I have interacted with, but have tried to not make anything of it. The thing is, for me, Twitter allows me to engage in conversations. For example, were it not for Twitter, I would *never* know what you&#039;re up to, and sometimes I *might* be able to join you (except this past Sunday, for example). That&#039;s the great value of Twitter for me. It allows me to keep an eye on those people whom I care for, and that are simultaneously on there. If they&#039;re not Twittering, I try to create other avenues to keep in touch.

See you on Wednesday!!!!</description>

		<description>yeah, Twitter&#039;s a funny thing to figure out.   I started following people who had stuff I wanted to hear, knowing they&#039;d not bother following me.  And I continue to follow them - they give out bleeding edge intel, so I feel &#039;in the know&#039;.   Then I started following people I kinda/sorta knew.  And Canadians.  And the occasional non-cdn who seems like they&#039;ve got fun/interesting tweets.   I&#039;m now following 150 people or so, and I&#039;m saturated.  I don&#039;t have the heart to unfollow anyone (and would never unfollow you for the record!) yet have a dilemma when I discover another person who engages/interests me ... can I handle yet another in the mix? And does it &#039;dilute&#039; the people I truly want to be in tune with?   What a weird dilemma to have.

As far as being unfollowed, I don&#039;t really care, unless it&#039;s someone with whom I&#039;ve interacted, in which case I&#039;d feel hurt.  I know I&#039;ve been unfollowed, but can&#039;t figure out how to tell who left, and prefer not to know, actually.

Ah, these sensitive skins of ours.</description>
