Do something useful with your time - give blood; donate plasma; dig a neighbour's garden or do some repairs to their house.  This is meta-socialising, more "alone togetherness." Connect to real people by doing real things.  " if only you could see what I've seen" instead of just chirruping No it's bollocks – like shouting down a drain.

I had a frankly pathetic amount of visitor to this blog and I looked on whilst others were getting thousands (interesting to note that they haven’t posted for almost a month now, I wonder what’s going on). I honestly don’t know what the secret is of getting loads of visitors to a blog. This is probably why I don’t call myself a “marketing guru” and spout crap on Twitter all day long. Little dig there (again). [...] [...] I have to admit, I was a bit disappointed in my stats as I started doing this.

I think you nailed almost every early Twitter user's feelings towards Twitter these days. Too much fluff, too little sustenance. Early days, it was all vitamins. Now there is a lot of junk food, although if you do it right, you can still get nourishment. Damn, now I'm hungry again :/ Good point there.
