Starting later today, we are making changes to how Windows Central uses Twitter. The @WindowsCentral account is no longer going to tweet automatically every article we post. Instead, our editorial team is going to carefully, manually tweet only the stories we think are the most interesting and relevant to you, our readers and community. If you really want everything, just like RSS, you can follow the new @WC_Headlines account. Otherwise, your timeline is about to get less full. So, why the change?

In short, on some days, Windows Central can post over thirty articles in a 24-hour period. That is a lot of "stuff", but not all of it is necessarily appealing to the casual reader or those who want a more meta-view of the Microsoft and Windows ecosystem. The old saying is "Less is more", and that adage applies to social feeds as well. Too much "stuff" or low-level news could come across as spamming. Your time and attention are valuable, so maybe you don't need to know about that small app update or banal Microsoft announcements.
