Tweet Blindness – A thought

I realized today while going over my Twitter account, reading tweets of people I follow, that in an unconscious way, I was ignoring certain tweets…

The tweets I was ignoring were from people/companies who tweet way too much often! I think that tweeting that often (like 8-10 tweets in a row) is not a good idea! To me it doesn’t look serious to tweet that much. It’s great that you have many ideas or thoughts that you want to share, but try to do it wisely, otherwise people will get bored, or like me unconsciously ignore your tweets. It really is a shame, I’m not talking about spammers, but about people or companies I chose to follow and enjoy the content of their tweets…

It reminds me of another phenomenon called Banner Blindness – some tests show that consciously or unconsciously people ignored information that was presented in banners.

What are your thoughts? Am I the only one who is experiencing this? I would love to hear.
