Recently, I’ve been tossing around the idea of starting a new Twitter account. One more focused on my outdoorsy babble. Thus, giving all my GEO/GIS friends a break from Fly Fishing, #getoutside, dogsrule talk, hiking, biking and vice versa.

My dilemma. From day one on Twitter I’ve followed one rule “tweet who you are” and the followers will come. It’s easy enough to click on that unfollow button and just be done with someone. Click, you’re gone! However, when that person provides quality content on more than one subject… making that click becomes a more complicated issue. To follow or not to follow? That is the question.

Surely, you have seen this on Twitter with some of your followee’s. Probably me, that crazy dude who can yak about GEO/GIS, Fly Fishing, #getoutside, his dogs and something funny his wife did or said in less than an hour. But, I have to say, that’s kind of what makes Twitter great, the open and honest release of thoughts, ideas and interest. Like them or not.

So, I guess what I’m asking is, do you continue to follow someone even though PART of what they say is of no interest to you, or do you drop them like a bad habit?

I’m seriously looking for feedback, please leave a comment with your thoughts.

Thanks for playing along, now go outside and do something fun!
