I can't turn Tweetdeck off for some reason, so I instead go on what I call Twitter "diets," where I consciously don't tweet <i>as often</i>... maybe once every 3 or 4 hours or so, and if I have any @replies I'll just reply to them as fast as I can all at once. Of course, that doesn't stop me from falling in the pool sometimes because sometimes time flies and then I feel guilty, but still ... at least I'm trying to cut back.

This way they can just show up when they want to and put their two cents in and people will stop and listen. Although, you have to create some coolness with your followers first. twitter is for the cool kids b/c the cool kids are seen as relevant.

One additional thing that might be nice to have during hiatus is autoresponder for direct messages. When you are away for a week, you usually set autoresponder on your email. TweetLater doesn't support auto-reply with direct message. Tell me if there's a tool that allows me to do that. But, if you have just queued a week full of blog posts on your blog, it is possible to use TweetLater to send automatic tweets some time after the blog posts are up there. At least for some people this is better than going away without any tweets for a week or two. Just my two cents.

I'm (still) using Twhirl so I guess if I were to take a break I'd just close the application and remove the shortcut from my desktop :) Great advice.

Twitter and OCD are not a good combination...even when properly medicated! Just what I needed to read tonight as I finished “just checking” Twitter and ended up on it for 30 minutes.

Maybe I'm fortune to be a hardcore introvert, because the odds of me spending more than 15 minutes on Twitter or doing anything social online (World of Warcraft aside) are pretty low. With my once a day (if that) updates, I'll never be a popular Twitterer with thousands of followers, but at least I have an easier time than some staying focused on the work that really earns me money. ;) I do try to say something, at least, if I'm going to be gone for a week.
