For those who do not desire interaction with other users

You can set your twitter account to private; that way you do not have to interact with anyone on Twitter if you do not desire to. Ignore all follower requests, and make sure all notifications are turned off on your Twitter settings with the exception of SMS. We strongly advise enabling the SMS notification on Twitter, which pushes alerts to your phone using the real-time speed of Twitter.

Who knows, you may discover you enjoy using Twitter to communicate with close friends and family while retaining your private settings, but either way, you are not required by Twitter to interact with anyone. If all you want is our weather alerts delivered to you by data link and/or SMS that is your choice. Setting up a Twitter account is quick easy and free.
