Besides, it's 100% opt-in, i.e. you have total discretion over whose stuff you get.
But, like you said, "YMMV."

I've been into various social networking tools for a long time. Maybe it is just burnout, but since moving into my current work I don't feel the need to chase "fast-breaking news". That used to be the focus of my work, but now I actually have to get stuff done
I get enough data in my brain every day. I also don't do email push. I want to control when I get my email. And if I want to get up to date, I'll go to a handful of places when I want to rather than have them pushed to me. To quote my son, it is about "controlling the question."
