So, Twitter. Let's talk about it. I bet it sounds awful to you for two reasons: First of all, you think you have to write things, and second of all you think it's pointless. That it encompasses all of the worst things about Facebook: I just ate a sandwich, sandwiches are underrated.... Boy I need some coffee... Headed to the gym.... I'm gonna shoot myself if I have to read one more absurd update about your mundane ass life.
But what you probably don't know is that (according to some random techie article I read) 75% of people on Twitter don't ever write a thing, not one single thing! They just read.funny or helpful stuff that other people write. You just make it a resource for all of the things you like best in life. Every favorite hobby, magazine, website, celebrity, etc. And if you follow people like that, it's a great resource for all kinds of articles, links, and info that interest you most. No talk of any coffee habits anywhere.
Some of the people I follow: Slate magazine (they link great articles all over the internet), philosopher Alain deBotton, Everyday Food magazine, Shit My Dad Says (hysterical quotes a son puts up from his father), plus some design websites, and lots of writers and comedians.
Some of the people you could follow, based on your interests:
Outdoors Man: Orvis Fly Fishing, American Hiking, PBS National Parks
Creative: Craft magazine, DIY network, Design Sponge
News Junkie: BBC breaking news, Huffington Post, MSNBC Politics
