Facebook versus Twitter - Yes, I'm back!

Okay, I know I've been abcent for a bit and finally the dust is kinda starting to settle.

I have not been on Facebook for probably over a month.
I have two reasons for this...

1.) I have been working my ass off over the last month (and/but I'm not complaining).
2.) Facebook was getting to be ridiculous for what it was worth.

All I kept getting were quiz, test, farmville, game, "I should be this tall" updates/highlights/results from "friends" and sorry to be blunt - that's of no value to me.

I tried to stay current with my Twitter posts because it's short & sweet and I have actually got business, helped people, met people and interacted with others in a way that would not have happened through Facebook.
BUT, now when I go on to Twitter, I feel it's like the Coles Notes version of Facebook.
Twitter can be a powerful & useful tool - I can attest but won't go in to details.
What is one to do?
I can "unfollow" people but that would be like walking up to them and kicking in the nuts/privates.
If you find someone you are following of no value, should you feel guilty if you don't follow them? Will they be offended? Are you stirring the pot? Stepping on toes? Pick your cliché.

Just throwing it out there and curious what others think.
