Let me come clean about my Twitter adoption “arc:”
The wise student hears of the Twitter & practices it diligently. The average student hears of the Twitter & gives it thought now & again. The foolish student hears of the Twitter and laughs aloud. If there were no laughter, the Twitter would not be what it is. -Lao Tzu (well, sorta)
I was foolish. If you think Twitter’s the dumbest thing you’ve ever seen, I hear you.
But I evolved.
I recently tweeted what Twitter is to me:
water cooler, colleagues, sanity check, ideas, advice, good tips, friends, company, connections, inspiration. oh ya & network.
We're a bunch of tweeps who love twitter (just like you), and we're working hard to build the best Twitter experience for you.
