Oprah may get a lot of replies but her timeline only has the tweets of a few people, so the experience she has is infinitely different from that of those who follow thousands..

This is what happened to Email, webpages and blogs and it will happen to twitter once things grow it stops being a community and start being a infrastructure servive and those cant be maintained as a gated community for long.

Honestly, I hope I never hear the word Twitter on television again. How is it news is what I'd like to know. It's news because they're talking about it, the media are inventing the news themselves. Is there so little of importance going on in the world? @ Michael – I’m thinking Oprah has a staff she pays to not only read her incoming tweets (and tell her of anything important), but most likely send the outgoing as well.

Einstein wrote back: "My dear child, I want to assure you that my mathematical difficulties are far greater than yours." According to Nick Bilton of The New York Times, Oprah is getting "more than 1,000 responses a minute." Oprah's problems with information overload are far greater than mine. Maybe one day she will give us some hints about how to filter the important messages: how to separate the tweet from the chaff.
