Three reason why I use twitter
I use twitter for three reasons:
First I use twitter to keep up with people I’ve met and my peers in the creative and tech fields. There is plenty I like to share, and learn from and with those people. it keeps me relevant and informed about my craft
Second, I use twitter because I like people. I especially like people who do something that is totally out of my sphere of influence. Connecting with those people is obvious but it’s the not so obvious people that I would not cross paths with day to day that interest me. “What is a blogger doing?”, “What is a sustainability expert doing?”. “What is a writer doing?”
In addition to being interested in other people, the third reason I use twitter is to stay informed, There has been plenty of general news, and news that only a few people might find interesting gets around on twitter hours before television and days before newspapers.
In a nutshell, I use twitter because it tells me what I don’t know.
